Wikipedians by philosophy (adding "Wikipedians") edit

The result of the debate was rename/merge as nominated --Kbdank71 17:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I bit off more than I could chew in the category:Wikipedians by philosophy mass nomination, so I thought I’d try breaking it out into smaller chunks. These are the ones that just need a “wikipedians” added or adjusted, or something similar.--Mike Selinker 23:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename all per nom. --Cswrye 13:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename but, why not to the reverse? (For example: category:Wikipedian Darwinists rather than category:Darwinist Wikipedians)? I thought the plan was to have "Wikipedian" as the first word in such categories if at all possible? - jc37 03:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- It's more valuable to follow the mainspace convention for whether a concept goes before "people". So nationalities, parties, and named philosophies make sense up front, and occupations, actions, and purchasing preferences make sense in back.--Mike Selinker 14:59, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename All, though I don't see the point of changing category:Liberal Theist Wikipedians. Seems to me you could just save yourselves the trouble there. Kewlio 00:37, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, After spending the better part of an hour reverting a user who'd decided to add every female superhero to this cat, I checked out this page...only to find out that's what it is. A list of fictional females. No rhyme or reason for pretty much any of them being there. Misleading, and unnecessary. InShaneee 22:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Olborne 22:55, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral as a librarian I would find the category useful if and only if it were limited to feminists. Since that doesn't seem possible, I would acquiesce in its deletion. This lack of education in category analysis and use suggests that category creation and assignment might be considered to be something that editors shouldn't able to do. Of course lots of categories are correctly assigned. Bejnar 05:07, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Some categories that would work in a professionally edited encyclopedia aren't viable in Wikipedia because there is no effective means of preventing overuse. This is one such. Hawkestone 10:23, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Though I am rather tempted to suggest a Rename to category:Female characters in comics as a sub-category of Fictional female characters. - jc37 03:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a 'fictional heroines' cat. --InShaneee 16:08, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that would be a sub-cat of what I was thinking of proposing, since there are many female comic characters which are not necessarily hoeroins (or villainesses, for that matter). I just am not certain if we should be categorizing by gender. - jc37 16:22, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 17:49, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedian authors of Good Articles was recently deleted per a discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 August 22#Category:Wikipedian authors of Good Articles. The same reasoning could apply to these categories, so I think that either they should be deleted or the other category should be recreated. I don't have a strong opinion either way, so I am remaining neutral, but I wanted to bring this up for discussion. —Cswrye 21:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The main contributors should get recognized for their efforts. Rlevse 21:59, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree that contibutors should be recognized, but recognition can be in user space. --Elliskev 22:50, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete People are expected to contribute to Wikipedia without recognition and not to claim ownership of any content. Olborne 22:56, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, although nice, very few articles are written by individuals, and even when that happens, these categories are probably inappropriate encouragement of article ownership.--Dhartung | Talk 01:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – As most pictures are static and non-colaborative, much of the criticism above does not apply to Category:Wikipedian authors of featured pictures. The cat is empty, though. ×Meegs 05:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Encourages article ownership and allowing the photograph category is just the thin end of the wedge. Merchbow 21:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I will repeat my comments from the previous CfD. I don't like the idea that anyone can claim authorship of an article, even if they were the only contributor to the article. This is a Wiki. To make this project work EVERYONE must buy into the idea that this is a collaborative effort. No individual should ever take authorship credit. I nominated an article for featured article status, but I am not the author. It was a collective effort. I contributed the large majority of effort into creating and editing a list that made it to featured list status, but that still does not make me the author. Even if I was the only editor of a featured or good articles, others will edit them in the future. I think of myself more as a guardian or fascilitator of the article. These categories give people the wrong idea about Wikis. -- Samuel Wantman 08:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While often there may be a "project leader" (named or unnamed), or even a sole contributor, this just comes too close to WP:OWN. - jc37 03:23, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Samuel Wantman and jc37. —Mir l e n 04:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If someone goes back to some featured article and makes a small edit or makes some small edit to a bunch of proposed featured articles one of which is selected, does that editor get one of these? If so, they're meaningless. Carlossuarez46 06:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Would be better to listify, many of the articles don't even mention the celeb's connection to the Republicans. Also, why are we singling out celebs?. Note there is also an ongoing discussion on a similar category, Hollywood Supporters of the Democratic Party. I didn't lump this one into that since the discussion was already well under way.

Delete no objective criteria for inclusion or exclusion. Carlossuarez46 06:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Please — this is something for which I could use a quick reference.

Responses to Delete arguments above:

lack of objective criteria is not all that damning, as long as something on the page details the connection. If these people were being marked for death, then a more stringent standard might be necessary, but we're just tagging articles here.
We're singling out celebs for the same reason my biography is considered "non-notable" by Wikipedia standards. Shannon Doherty's on-camera appearance at the GOP convention was notable because of her celebrity.
I have no opinion on Keeping/Deleting Hollywood Supporters of the Democratic Party. However, I don't believe "if either goes, they both should go" is a fair standard because I consider Hollywood Republicans more notable. We should keep Category:Incidents where man bites dog, even if we delete Category:Incidents where dog bites man. Even if the Hollywood Republicans category swells to 1000 names, it is of interest because of the stereotype of Hollywood (and especially Hollywood celebrities) being overwhelmingly liberal and/or Democrats.

Additional compelling reasons:

If this category were deleted, some ninny would start a list page for it.

Delete, Another incompatible with WP:CHILD.I would have put it into the umbrella nom below (birth years), but felt it should be on its own, as the other has a comment added already. Can we make this and the 'by birth year' noms go quickly? Elliskev 19:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As elsewhere: all contributors should be aware that WP:CHILD is a proposed policy, not a current one. Voting 'Delete per WP:CHILD' is arguably premature. The Land 21:25, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I noted elsewhere, I chose the word incompatible over per for just that reason. I hope my nom doesn't read as being misleading. I recommend to all that before commenting here, read proposal WP:CHILD. Elliskev 21:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  - I fully understand this, see my comments there for the reasons why it is a bad idea. Thryduulf 02:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The result of this CfD should probably be tied in with the results of this TfD for obvious reasons. In support of this idea, I vote whatever the result of the TfD linked is, simply for consistency. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 23:47, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DOH! :) --Elliskev 23:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Thryduulf and insofar as, whilst this CfD does not, as Elliskev well notes, rest on WP:CHILD, it nevertheless incorporates by reference the thinking that underlies CHILD, about the propriety of which thinking a determination ought first to be made at a page at which a discussion in which are involved editors particularly interested in the relevant issues in extant, viz., at Wikipedia talk:Protecting children's privacy, where the identification of a consensus vis-à-vis the overarching issues ought first to be undertaken. There is no pressing need for us to dispose of the broader questions, and, where one location exists at which a discussion is underway, we need not to create a new one (as at the CfDs and TfD that have followed from the CHILD discussion); notwithstanding that, my support of our keeping this template follows also from my opposition to WP:CHILD.

Merge, almost all laws that have articles will fit into a more explanatory Laws of Country X category. --Dhartung | Talk 02:01, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Do not merge. Category:Law is about the kind of law that legislatures and courts deal with. Category:Laws is a hodgepodge, containing two individual articles (both of which belong under Category:Law or one of its subcategories, plus a subcategory Category:Sex laws which also does. However, the two other subcategories under Category:Laws are Category:Eponymous laws and Category:Statistical laws, which have very little to do with the kind of laws that legislatures and courts deal with; those are about scientific laws. (Well, mostly. I see Megan's Law is in Category:Eponymous laws, too.) However, I could support a merger if Category:Laws were cleaned up first to deal with this concern. --Metropolitan90 02:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a good point. Perhaps we can move all the "legal" laws out of the "Laws" category, and then re-name whatever remains "Scientific Laws" or something similar.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 13:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. I think that the purpose of this category makes more sense now, but it's still very ambiguous. How about this: 1) Merge legal topics from Category:Laws into Category:Law and rename Category:Laws to Category:Scientific laws. --Cswrye 17:36, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All contributors to the debte should be aware (as both Elliskev and Herostratus are) that WP:CHILD is a proposal, not a policy; that this debate should not feel bound by it; and that the result of this deletion debate will be seen as indicative of what should happen to the WP:CHILD proposal. The Land 21:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I think that I created some (but not all) of these categories. I did it for consistency since there were categories for some years but not others, and I figured that people would add themselves to them as they got older. However, protecting children is more important than that, and I support the proposal at WP:CHILD. These categories can go. --Cswrye 20:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and delete Category:Wikipedians born in 1992, Category:Wikipedians born in 1991 and Category:Wikipedians born in 1990 as well. There is a story in the British papers today about the jailing of an Icelandic man who was caught in a hotel room with a 14 year old he had groomed on the internet. Hawkestone 10:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
strong keep. None of these categories violate any current policies, nor do they encourage anybody to violate any proposed policies or real-world laws. Voting per a policy proposal that does not yet have common acceptance is premature and possibly trying to stack the debate. Thryduulf 23:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll ask you to assume good faith in the nomination. The categories may not violate current policy (they likely wouldn't violate the proposed policy, either), but if the idea of the proposed policy is good, then the idea of these categories existing is bad. Elliskev 00:02, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - If you read my comments on the proposed policy you'll see why I beleive it to be a bad idea. Thryduulf 02:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've responded to those. Elliskev 13:26, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I am in favour of deletion of ALL Wikipedian age categories. - jc37 03:30, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strongest possible keep consistent with my argument supra at the Child Wikipedians CfD, to-wit, that we ought to reserve judgment as to the rightfulness of the thinking underlying WP:CHILD until a decision is reached at Wikipedia talk:Protecting children's privacy, where a discussion involving interested editors is underway, such that this CfD seems merely to present an additional (unnecessary) venue at which to discuss the spirit of CHILD. Notwithstanding that, if we are simply, per Elliskev, to adjudge this category in the context of the thinking underlying CHILD, I then support our keeping per the objections levelled against CHILD at the proposal's talk page by Radiant. FWIW, I would, as Jc37, support the deletion of all Wikipedian age categories, which I think to serve little community-building and thus encyclopedic purpose, but I don't think it appropriate that some be deleted and some be preserved. Joe 05:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What freaking language are you speking? Can you give a reason that's closer to coherency? Not meaning to be rude, but I can't understand a word of that. --Elliskev 22:27, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per WP:NCCAT. --Dhartung | Talk 02:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Category:Mountains in Iran is correct. Mountains don't move around very fast. (Plate tectonics is slow.) WP:NCCAT does not specify the use of 'of' or 'in'. 'Of', being more generic often leads to ambiguity, while 'in' leads to clarity. If a particular mountain is used as a symbol in Persian literature would that mountain, even though it is geographically in Turkey, be a mountain of Iran?

Delete per the MfD debate. As to why, as I said there... See this where we have an example of an article talk tagged with two confusingly similar (and apparently competing) projects, Shark and Sharks. For casual editors (the ones that recent studies suggest provide most of the raw content that more experienced editors like the folk who frequent MfD reshape into polished articles) that has to be very offputting and discordant. This project needs to go, and further, the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council should be working to ensure that duplications of effort like this are avoided as early as possible. The amount of effort put into this project is sad, because it's all wasted, but that is no reason not to delete. NOTE: In general I support keeping category and miscellaney deletes separate, sometimes there is reason to keep one but not the other. Not this time, though, this category and all others associated with the project are clearly part of the project and should go if it goes. ++Lar: t/c 17:29, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 19:07, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is an recreation of a category deleted after discussion on June 9. The consensus then was quite strong, but I think it might be worth revisiting as it is now better populated and was likely created without knowledge of the previous cat. The current cat also has a preamble intended to limit the scope to characters who died within the body of their fictional work.

My objection is mostly Postdlf's from the previous discussion: fiction is essentially timeless and the characters that die in chapter ten continue to live for readers in chapter one. ×Meegs 11:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just discovered User:Nohat's comments on the talk page, which express the same problem far more elegantly. ×Meegs 11:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I also see that we now have Category:Fictional murder victims. This doesn't bother me as much, but fictional complements for all of Category:Deaths by cause can't be far behind. ×Meegs 12:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree, fiction is "timeless". Also I don't see the point of having such a category: who wants to look up dead fictional characters? Besides, this is kind of a "spoiler category", deaths of characters are usually considered spoilers and placing them in a category makes it impossible to include a spoiler warning. MrTroy 14:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Deceased fictional characters do not all have anything worth noting in common. Brammen 14:25, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete delete delete. Not only useless, but doomed to be forever filled with inappropriate entries. This category, as currently named, can only really be legitimately filled with characters who are already dead at the start of a work of fiction. As it is, it is filled with characters who die during the course of the work of fiction, and if there were to be a category of such characters it would have to be called "Fictional characters who die during the course of a work of fiction". As Meegs so elegantly said, "characters that die in chapter ten continue to live for readers in chapter one", so describing them as "deceased" is just wrong.

Keep. If we can have categories for divorced fictional characters, or Jedi masters, why not this one? It groups together characters in the same way. I don't see what the problem is with this category. To answer a few quieries:
- Re: spoilers - the category is found at the bottom of the page, so users would have to scroll through the article anyway. Perhaps a spoiler tag could be added to the category page though?
- Re: name of category - to me it just suggests "Fictional characters that are deceased", not just ones that were deceased before the book/series etc started. If a character dies, they then become a deceased fictional character.
- Re: "characters continuing to live" - the same could apply with divorced characters for example. Frasier Crane is divorced in Frasier, but still married in Cheers. Does this mean he should not be included in the "fictional divorcees" category?

Delete per nom. RobJ1981 04:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I created the category, not realising it had been done in the past. I do apologise. :-) ALthough I must add a vote for keep because the user above who suggests keep makes a few good points. If we get rid of this category because the characters continue to live in earlier works, then that makes a lot of categories redundant. Why would we need "Fictional divorcees" if in some past life the characters were still married (such as the Frasier Crane example above) for example? Maybe though the catergory could be renamed though. Perhaps this category should be kept for characters like Harry Potter's parents who were dead before the stories take place, and another category set up for those who die during the series as suggested above, although probably with a shorter name? :-) Hill Valley Telegraph

The temporal issue is a significant problem for me, but if there were a truly interesting characteristic that would make a reasonably-sized category, I might be able to overlook it. Do you want to browse through a category of hundreds or thousands of characters that have nothing in common except that they, at some point, died? Divorcees is a slightly more interesting set, but still not worthwhile if you ask me. ×Meegs 10:32, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
