delete empty, self made cat, all members moved to Category:People of Irish descent in Great Britain and Category:Irish people in Great Britain to resolve labelling and inaccuracy objections. Arniep 18:43, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the tip! Arniep 02:22, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
no, we discussed this before, Irish ancestry can be significant to people further back than a parent, I am using the same requirement as is used for American categories, 1/4, one grandparent or two great grandparents. Arniep 14:54, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I hope we can continue to move towards standardisation. Over 85% of the subcategories of Category:American people by occupation already use American, and it is probably over 90% if the sub-sub categories are included. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)/Usage of American recently concluded following a strong vote in favour of "American". Several recent votes here have gone in favour of "American". Universal usage of "American" is the only form of consistency we are going to get, and consistent naming will encourage accurate categorisation by making it less hassle as people won't have to check which form is in use or edit twice if they don't and they guess wrong. It is normal English as is evinced by usage in articles, which is probably around 99% "American". It is not U.S. centric as much of the support for U.S. comes from Americans anxious not to offend while people from other English speaking countries seem to favour "American" more strongly if anything. "American" or a variant is preferred by many non-English language wikipedias, and people who say it is confusing always seem to say that some unspecified other person might be unclear what was meant, not that they were unsure personally. So let's finally be consistent and apply normal English to the remaining categories, with exceptions only when they reflect usage of official United States national government terms, eg Category:United States Navy people.

This cats strikes me as extemely fancruft-y - do we really need a category that consists solely of Lavigne herself, the current and ex-members of her band and her current boyfriend? This cat merely duplicates information can be found in the main Avril Lavigne article.

Lavigne has recorded two albums - do they need their own category? Limited potential for growth.

Empty cat except for a link to Category:Avril_Lavigne_singles. While the singles cat may be useful, this can never be more than a duplicate cat at best - or a list of non-notable songs at worst (if someone were to take it upon themself to write an article on every nn Avril Lavigne song, for instance).

Sportspeople is the normal term on wikipedia and in real life. "Sportspersons" is an ugly and unnecessary PC term. The parent category is Category:Sportspeople and the main article is List of sportspeople. CalJW 04:16, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is a redundant category, created and being populated by an anon who doesn't respond to talk comments. I believe the category was previously deleted (twice?). Redundant with Category:Chemical elements. Vsmith 02:57, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note: anon 70.236.240.243 [1] has removed the cfd notice 3 times and placed a cfd tag on Category:Chemical elements without follow through or any discussion anywhere. Anon had also restarted moving element article to this cat. I have reverted and blocked the anon for this obvious vandalism. Vsmith 02:29, 12 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nearly all the sport by country categories have been renamed to the "in" form now, but there are quite a few UK categories which were not included, either because they are for sports for which few if any other countries have categories yet so there is no "X by country" category in Category:Sports by country or because they weren't in that category or its subcategories when the renaming was done for some other reason.
