Category:Extreme sports ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:Extreme sports commentators ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: This category is problematic, sources define extreme sports as very dangerous activities, but there is no study or statistics of deaths on sports to qualify which are more and less dangerous. List of extreme sports was deleted due to problems with POV and original research. This category should be deleted and activities on this category must be recategorized Carlosguitar (ready and willing) 21:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Category:Extreme sports is doing the same thing as List of extreme sports did and I agree that it is better to salt this category. For extreme sports events like X Games they can be easily categorized into Category:Sports events. I am also nominating Category:Extreme sports commentators - a category with only 3 commentators and can be easily merged into Category:American sports announcers. Carlosguitar (ready and willing) 10:04, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The commentators one also has the added problem of ambiguity. Murray Walker is a sports commentator who is very extreme, for instance! Grutness...wha? 10:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - many things involve POV issues, but these are to be resolved by the authors of individual articles, rather than in a CDF discusion. The category appears to be well-populated. The deletion of a list was probably useful as this would encourage the addition of red links for any extreme sporting activity, however crazy. The "commentators" category is probaly not useful however. Murray Walker, the retired racing comentator, was extreme in his expression, but not (I think) a commentator on extreme sports. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They should be resolved on CFD, because all sports and other activities on this category are original research, when there is original research in a list, article, category, etc. We delete them due to original research. This category has the same purpose of List of extreme sports, to show which are very dangerous activities and thing related to these very dangerous activities, that is original research and should be resolved by deletion and recategorization. In 1979, Richard B. Chambers supervised six sports (football, soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming, and gymnastics) and concluded that the risk factor in football was twice as high (1.72) as its nearest competitors, basketball (0.88) and gymnastics (0.85). [1] Football was never associated with extreme sports, so is the risk factor of current activities in this category much more high than football? If no one can answered this question then it must be deleted per WP:OR. Also this category contain some nonsensical things such as Bee Cliff (Tennessee).

Category:Alleged anti-semites ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: "Alleged x" categories are often POV magnets. Here the criteria states "anyone accused of anti-semitism", without specifying whether the accusation is substantiated. Just bringing it here to see if there is consensus that this should go, or stay. RobertG ♬ talk 16:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For all the below, suggest "-related" is unnecessary:

The result of the discussion was: delete. Article is already in Category:People from Van Zandt County, Texas (although personally I would suggest upmerging that 2 article category into Category:People from Texas). Kbdank71 14:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Category:People from Edgewood, Texas ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Only contains one article and since the town is so small, it seems unlikely that it will grow. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge per nom only those articles are about films set in tennessee. Kbdank71 14:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Films & Television shot in Tennessee‎ to Category:Films set in Tennessee
Nominator's rationale: Rename to make consistent with Category:Films set in Texas, for instance. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Xbox demos ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: Delete - It is hard to understand what this category is even for. "the game darkwatch: curse of the west is also on the xbox game disc number 44 that also has doom3 pariah and psychonauts and videoshow case black hawk down lego starwars dead to rights 2 and conker where is he now?" In any case, the lone article within the category is a full game, not a demo. Is this supposed to categorize xbox games of which a demo exists of? I don't see how that is something worth categorizing. VegaDark (talk) 05:13, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Orange (telecoms). Kbdank71 14:13, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming Category:Orange to Category:Orange SA
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Ambiguous and the proposed name matches the parent article name. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm surprised to see you say that (it's much more common than "gaming", I'm tempted to suggest). It's pretty standard in financial & business talk on both sides of the Atlantic I would have thought. I think France Télécom still operate their French fixed-line business, which is much the largest provider in France, under the FT name. Johnbod (talk) 04:12, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Call it a brain freeze, but they have been telcos for more years then I can remember. Yea, telecoms is another term and maybe that is the problem with using any of those terms, they are all slang or shorthand. But we need to rename away from Category:Orange so anything is a step in a good direction. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
