Redundant to Category:Washington state highways. Got mired in some silly process arguments so has to come here again. In the U.S. state of Washington, a state highway is a road maintained by the state. This includes Interstates and U.S. Routes. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 21:11, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. —Locke Cole • t • c 21:27, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, after coming across this while clearing out SD candidates. (several times.) State highway states that interstates, US routes, and state highways are distinct things. These terms may be used differently in local areas- eg in Washington- but notice that Category:Washington state highways contains both subcats as well as state routes. If interstates and US numbered highways deserve their own cats, so do state routes; i can see little reason to categorize them under what is also an umbrella cat. IMO Category:Washington highways should remain as an umbrella, with the three cats for state routes, interstates etc underneath. While state highways may be used in washington to refer to any state maintained road, they aren't therefore equivelant to interstates and US routes when setting up categories on wikipedia. see my talk for more discussion with SPUI and Rschen7754. (And again, why isn't this being sorted out at WikiProject Highways, WikiProject Washington State Highways, or WikiProject U.S. Roads?????) --He:ah? 21:29, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Your reasoning is incorrect. In Washington, Interstates and U.S. Routes are state highways. They are also State Routes, so splitting it like that doesn't work. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 22:28, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • What is your reasoning? --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 00:28, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I;ve stated it over and over. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 00:30, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • The only reason you've stated is that you think it should be deleted but others might want it kept. Closing admin: please treat Rschen7754's vote as a delete. --SPUI (T - C - RFC) 01:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • People are absolutely NOT required to give their reasons for voting the way they do; the closing admin can take whatever comments and opinions into consideration that they would like. Rschen7754 clearly said "keep". Don't be silly, SPUI, this is getting kind of irritating . . . --He:ah? 01:20, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • You can;'t do that! It should be kept because it presents the proper hierarchy for the system. Stop trying to get the category speedied. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 01:14, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

                • You still can't take an obvious Keep vote and say "please treat Rschen7754's vote as a delete." BoojiBoy 02:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
                  • Just one more reason why SPUI is up for RFC, he's a dick. JohnnyBGood 19:10, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, weakly, as redundant—although my personal preference would be to move Category:Washington state highways in its current form to Category:Washington highways after the deletion, to mitigate any confusion. (Or merge, or reverse merge, or whatever; frankly the terminology is all kind of confusing.) --phh 01:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, "highways" can refer to many things not covered by "state highways" as not all highways are nessecarily numbered and state owned. JohnnyBGood 18:58, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Heah. As the terminology is confusing and different for different areas and circumstances, it's best to maintain the most general form possible. siafu 19:32, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per SPUI. The keep voters have failed to explain why this should be kept, other than that they don't like SPUI. Mackensen (talk) 12:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a redundant category. There are state highways maintained by the state of Washington, and there are federal highways that pass through Washington. Surely we don't need a category for the latter. — Apr. 12, '06 [12:39] <freakofnurxture|talk>
  • Keep regardless of what one state says about what is and isn't an X Y or Z, a consistent nomenclature and binning of X Y and Z across all states, that fits what a person (not familiar with a particular state's idiosyncratic nomenclature) would reasonably expect is what we should strive for, and keeping this category seems a step in the right direction. Hopefully that explains WHY it should be kept. For the record, not that you asked me personally, I like SPUI, a lot. I just don't like some of his actions here... Suggesting that people are voting keep because they don't like SPUI seems not quite correct to me, YMMV of course. ++Lar: t/c 12:43, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not because it's redundant (even though it may be), but because it would contain only three subcategories and nothing else. Suggestion: to address the objection of interstates and US highways being subcategories of state highways, move Category:Interstate Highways in Washington and Category:U.S. Highways in Washington to be subcategories of Category:Transportation in Washington.

  • Rename.This category should be changed to matched the main article, Queen's University. The use of the ", Canada" qualifier is unnecessary and awkward form. 67.70.161.113 18:18, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, or rename differently. There is already at least one other Queen's University in Belfast. --Mal 01:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The other school is officially called the Queen's University of Belfast, always with the regional qualifier. The Canadian school has no such qualifier. Putting in a regional qualifier after a comma has the misleading effect of suggesting there is more than one campus, as in University of California, Berkeley — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.70.161.113 (talk • contribs)
That does not prevent possible confusion over the name: Queen's University applies to both the Canadian university and to the British university. Therefore a regional qualifer is obviously needed. This renaming is unacceptable as it could lead to ambiguity. --Mal 07:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I think it is inherently POV -- particularly since the creator also made it a subcategory of Category:People noted for being in rare medical or psychological categories. But what caught my attention is the inclusion of Cao Pi in this category, which shows that this category would be POV -- whether Cao Pi was "self-declared" or was legitimately given his throne by Emperor Xian of Han is a matter of perspective. (Similar problems exist with the other two current Chinese occupants of the category, Sima Lun and Wang Shichong.) I don't think the category can be NPOV, and therefore should be deleted. --Nlu (talk) 16:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hello. Could you point me to a reliable source that describes such a controversy? I can't find any. —Viriditas | Talk 01:13, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Lack of support and ambiguity have forced me to change my vote. As creator of this category, I request deletion. Keep. The category accurately describes the self-declaration of Emperor by historical figures. If a conflict about a certain figure arises, it should be discussed on the appropriate talk page, rather than deleting an entire category. The member category may or may not be appropriate; I added it to match Category:Self-declared messiahs. It may also be necessary to add a statement about restricting this category to certain individuals, such as usurpers. —Viriditas | Talk 17:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Hard to see how there could be any non-controversial entries. Sumahoy 23:14, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've removed the member category which indeed, was controversial. I don't see any problem, now. —Viriditas | Talk 01:13, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's still POV, however, and removing the member category does not help that all that much. --Nlu (talk) 05:17, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, Anyone can self declare themselves an emperor. JohnnyBGood 18:59, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, though I would say that it's doomed to being misinformed rather than purely POV. The nature of historical events often does not allow for self-declaration to be clearly established. That aside, however, the more important problem is that these entries do not have much in common; certainly, the founders of each of the Chinese dynasties are self-declared, as are the founders of various empires (e.g., Napoleon). In all these many cases, the term "empire" and "emperor" do not necessarily mean the same thing, and as mentioned the term "self-declared" is itself unclear. siafu 19:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, the term is unclear, and as a result, I am changing my vote to delete. —Viriditas | Talk 06:32, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to have been created specifically for two people (its sole inhabitants at the moment), but the term "Canadian Briton" is a neologism (indeed, "Briton" is used only for the ancient inhabitants of the British Islaes and by newspapers who need to conserve space; it's not standard English for British people. It's not entirely clear what it means: Canadian-born British citizens? Canadians living in Britain? It at least needs renaming (though I don't know what to); my preference is for deletion. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • No, sorry, I think you're wrong; "Briton" is very commonly used in the media to refer to citizens of (and, implicitly, I suppose, persons with indefinite leave to remain in) the United Kingdom. On that basis, I think it should remain; on seeing it here, I understood it to mean Canadian-born British citizens... James F. (talk) 10:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Rename. "Britons" to (also) refer to modern British people is common - for instance, "Asian-Britons" (-wikipedia) get 1080 yahoo search hits, whereas "Asian British people" (-wikipedia) gets 342 hits. ex-pat Canadians who merely reside in the U.K. are not British and to include them here would be wrong regardless of what name you use here. perhaps a sub-cat for "Britons (or British) of Canadian descent" should be used to distinguish between Canadian-born Britons" and second generation British of Canadian descent. A rename should likely be Category:Canadian British people Mayumashu 14:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It is not common practice in the UK to refer to "hyphenated Britons". This is a US practice and I see no reason to import it artificially via Wikipedia. The specific term "Canadian Britons" is a neologism. FWIW, "Britons" is a perfectly valid word to refer to people from Great Britain, but it is not the word used in cat names for people who are citizens of the UK. (The category is Category:British people). There are a variety of reasons for this, not least of which is that the UK does not only include Great Britain. The term "British" describes a legal nationality that applies to all citizens of the UK. Valiantis 14:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting change to a more legally sounding and less emotive description. -- Longhair 05:55, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is this meant to people convicted of murdering whilst children, or of perpertrating the murders on children? If the former, how about "convicted murderous children"; if the latter, how about "Murders convicted of killing children". James F. (talk) 10:42, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's the latter according the the text at the top. ×Meegs 12:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Murders convicted of killing children as James suggested. I'm not sure I like this subcategorization to begin with — I'm also open to deleting it — but the new name certainly an improvement. The convicted criterion is a mixed bag, though: it's a more clearly defined set of people, but also might exclude some of the category's current members. ×Meegs 12:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose The emphasis on conviction is too modern. At many times and places there wasn't a formal conviction procedure, and even where there is one, some may have died before conviction. However it could be renamed category:Murderers of children to address the lack of clarity. Bhoeble 13:54, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Bhoeble --larsinio (poke)(prod) 15:31, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename to Category:Murderers of children. Longhair's suggestion does nothing to help the ambiguity, and the point about the ones that never got convicted, per se, is well taken. — Apr. 12, '06 [13:20] <freakofnurxture|talk>
