May 26 edit

Category:Hip hop singers edit

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete. Conscious 06:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC) relist as the category was not tagged. Conscious 15:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Originally nominated last month (see Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 April 1). Closed as no consensus after only three unique votes (four if you count mine). Same reasoning still stands:

"Hip hop singer" is a misnomer (this is a group of singers from other genres -- mostly R&B and reggae -- who frequently appear on hip-hop songs - which actually would include 70% of all R&B artists, making the selection of artists inherently POV) - and artists who hjappen to record hip hop music and other genres as well. A category like this will only seek to confuse readers, and provides little factual encyclopedic value. --FuriousFreddy 16:27, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

My suggestions remain the same: either delete or rename to Category:Singers frequently appearing on hip hop recordings. --FuriousFreddy 03:05, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • How about Category:Singers also featured in hip hop, to suggest hip hop isn't these singers' primary genre...?  Regards, David Kernow 01:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hip-hop is no singer's primary genre. Rapper, yes; singer, no. --FuriousFreddy 14:02, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • We badly need a cat and article on dirty pop and/or urban music singers. That is where singers like Ashanti, Lil Mo, Justin Timberlake and the like belong. hip-hop is not sung it is rapped and nobody (save hip-hop soul queen Mary J. Blige and new princess Keyshia Cole) is properly referenced in singing hiphop. Antares33712 17:24, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, this cat mixes people in a ludicrous manner. Cheryl "Salt" James is a rapper. and Babs is tuneless singing (but a good rapper) Some like Lauryn Hill, Cee-Lo and especially Queen Latifah are two-way artists (rap and sing equally well). I have never heard Nicole Wray rap? See my comments on Category:Hip-hop/R&B singers. Antares33712 17:44, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Keep --William Allen Simpson 03:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale needed. Six firm delete (including nom), 4 firm keep, one qualified keep (Usgnus) and one which goes both ways (RoyBoy). Delete seems to have it, on analysis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.73.196.35 (talk • contribs)
  • 4 Delete -- challenger, nominator, and two puppets whose edits were exclusively on this discussion, are all from dialup pool kansas(*)rs.mo.dial-access.att.net., and (generously) counted as one (1) delete, although under normal rules that could be zeroed.
  • 7 Keep including closer -- RoyBoy and Usgnus stated keep, and neither changed by closing, with two extra days for contemplation.
--William Allen Simpson 07:56, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Restore titles to Category:Science fiction films and delete. "Cult", in the context used here, is subjective, adolescent, derogatory and decidedly POV term. Category thus has no merit, especially with its proviso that titles cannot be listed both in it and in the regular science fiction films category, adding fannish arbitrariness and whimsy to the selection of their respective contents. 12.73.194.158 00:26, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support nom. Pavel Vozenilek 02:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; There is such a thing as a cult film ... this category is well named. -- ProveIt (talk) 06:03, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, perhaps... perhaps not. - RoyBoy 800 06:41, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support nom. "Cult" is a subjective publicity term. Sumahoy 21:32, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per ProveIt. There are plenty of folks willing to keep it up. "Cult" here really means "a film that has a large dedicated fan base", and why can't they go in both categories? ♥ Her Pegship♥ 23:47, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — subjective (although not necessarily derogatory). And what is Star Wars Episode IV doing there without the other Star Wars films? — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:08, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I think the Star Wars IV presence is part of the nom's rationale - this is just an arbitrarily-populated category based on the informal and subjective nature of "cult film" as a concept. In other words, fancruft. 12.73.196.196 23:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Although classifying something as cult film is not objective, it should be kept. Also, there should be a disclaimer in the future saying that the films in that category are known to be cult films with a good-sized following. - XX55XX 00:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It's a subcat of Category:Cult films. I reserve the right the change my "vote" if the parent category is deleted. -- Usgnus 18:49, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. 12.73.198.99 20:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Grand Prix motor racing is empty except for Category:Grand Prix Before Formula One (which is populated) and I don't see any potential for growth. Suggest merging the GPBFO category into the GPMR one, since GPMR is a better name in my opinion. Recury 19:37, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem wasn't really that it was empty, it was more that it was almost useless and didn't have potential for growth, and it still doesn't (not to mention that the name of GPBFO isn't capitalized correctly). I'm sure someone can come up with an ingenious solution that we are missing. Recury 04:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We have census data from the latest US census (2000 I believe) and a number of local census. But, even in the light of that

How do we deterine which states and cities qualify to contain this category? What criteria do we consider? The category is too vaigue...
How is this category usefull or relevant? Hispanics inhabit states and cities that are geographicaly and even politicaly unrelated.

  • Comment I am not sure it's supposed to not include state articles too, so a renaming is unclear...I'll ask the category creator to chime in but I am not in favor of deleting either way.--MONGO 18:17, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Thanks MONGO. As the name suggests, it is for all "protected lands" within the United States, regardless of whether those lands were federal or not. However, editors were using this category instead of more appropriate sub-categories. I was unclear in my edit to the category that this should be for higher level categories and not for specific parks/reserves/etc. I would therefore propose that we keep this category in place and work to establish the necessary category tree to appropriately categorize the protected lands.ClarkBHM 18:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad for the clarification, but remember a lot of editors simply add categories without checking the fine print at the category page. Believe me when I say you are going to be doing a lot of moves to the subcategories as it presently is, unless you go and spend the whole weekend following my lead (with Category:Protected areas of New York) and creating and populating a "Protected areas of the United States by state" subcat with all the "Protected areas of ..." that that implies.
And I still think even then you're going to have a lot of well-meaning editors, particularly novices, adding things to the cat that really shouldn't be in it. And what happens when someone puts a federal area in one of the state cats? I just think the renaming will save everyone a lot of work down the line. Daniel Case 20:15, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point....maybe we do need a cat for each state, whew. I am somewhat confused now. Oh well, I guess we'll have to iron this out. Maybe the Federal list as a category is best...it is essentially a subcat of templated category {{Messagebox protected areas}} which is used for all protected areas articles...even state ones and even subarticles of specific points and items within the protected area.--MONGO 01:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename - Could be a good category, but should not be same name as website. Possible "Mountain Themed Disney Attractions"
    • Comment - that would be "Mountain themed Disney attractions" per WP capitalization. ♥ Her Pegship♥ 23:49, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Maybe Category:Mountain-themed Disney attractions before the grammarians arrive...?  Regards, David Kernow 01:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment - Is the category needed at all? That could open the door to a flood of similarly inconsequential categories: Science-fiction themed Disney attractions, Movie-themed Disney attractions, Disney attractions based on literary works, etc. Are any of those really necessary? Disney only has 11 theme parks globally so it's not hard to locate attraction information via the articles for each parent park. The category in question&#151;regardless of its name&#151;is very narrow (18 attractions according to Walt Disney Imagineering) and not likely to grow significantly. &#151;Whoville 15:25, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — No Vote. I suggested it be a category, as the article contains only the information that should be in a category. I'm not sure it should be a category, either, but it certainly shouldn't be an article. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:15, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
