I don't think the word "literary" adds much. In any case it isn't used by the parent category:translators or any of the other subcategories. Rename category:Canadian translators CalJW 23:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename Consistency matters. In the unlikely event that subcategories are ever needed they can be created. Carina22 13:11, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speaking as the person who originally created this, my reasoning was that in Canada, literary translation is considered a distinct literary pursuit in its own right; there are even literary awards presented for it. And therefore it had to be treated as a separate phenomenon from other types of translation. No vote, just a clarification. Bearcat 18:47, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Superfluous and doesn't flow with existing organization scheme. All of the Disneyland parks consist of theme parks, hotels, and shopping districts all refered to in common as a resort. We've categorized all the articles under the names of the resorts without separating out the theme parks inside. ie, Disneyland, California Adventure, Downtown Disney are all in the Disneyland Resort category without sub-categories. This sub-category of HK Disneyland breaks that existing categorization convention. The parent Hong Kong Disneyland Resort exists and is used already.

I believe it is unnecessary, as we already have Category:Quadrilaterals, and a parallelogram is a quadrilateral anyway. And I would disagree with creating Category:Parallelograms, there is not much one can put in there. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 20:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - uneccessary and only two adherents. Wikipedians should really attempt to keep any political believes as low key as possible as to do otherwise only serves to underline potential bias. Although that can be interpreted as positive (traffic lights/ringing bells). Djegan 18:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a private organization either.Categorize all you want if it makes you feel good . After a few months a newbie will undo your work. Wikipedia is open source, fluid and changing, in a constant flux. We all accept our contributions/changes will be mercilessly edited. --Jondel 11:49, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • The harm of having no consistency is that wikipedia will look like an amateurish anarchic mess. It is an encyclopedia not a social club or free web space. CalJW 10:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Keep politics out of wikipedia. Wikipedians should aspire to edit in such a way that their personal beliefs cannot be discerned. Carina22 13:09, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete POV. Is being used by some for political purposes to promote the myth that supporters of one political party are real republicans and other Irish users aren't. Supporters of that political party pull this stunt regularly in Ireland in Ireland in the national parliament, in councils, in newspapers, etc. Now they are trying it on Wikipedia too. Next thing we'll have Sinn Féin and Republican Sinn Féin fighting edit wars over who belongs in this ridiculous category. (They are already fighting edit wars on who is the real Sinn Féin — unlike their usual wars they haven't resorted to guns.) It is just a political stunt and should be deleted speedily. It is bad enough trying to stop SF and RSF politically POVing articles to push their agendas, without having stunt categories created too which they will no doubt fight over also. FearÉIREANN \(caint) 15:08, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • NOTE I'm not setting this category up for some kind of lame Sinn Féin manifistation. It is just a political belief, not Sinn Féin propaganda. Sure aren't Fianna Fáil the real republican party ; ). If it goes, which looks very likely, I don't care but I'm just making it clear to all that it was not set-up in the name of Sinn Féin.

Silly, somewhat self-indulgent. More importantly, not very useful. Fourohfour 13:12, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Pieing" is a fascinating new social phenomenon and a novel means of protest. "Piers" report that their pieing protests garner more media attention than sit-ins, picket lines, and other more traditional kinds of protest. This list is the only one of its kind on the Internet. As such, I think it's worthy of being in an online encyclopedia. Griot 16:36, 29 November 2005 (UTC)Griot[reply]

Another one that didn't get amended to the agreed form )(see Ports of Ireland below), in this case because it wasn't in category:Ports and harbours until just now. Rename Carina22 12:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC) Amended to Category:Port and harbours of Hong Kong as there is only one port, but there are several harbours. This form is necessary to cover the content, and is almost consistent with the standard form while reflecting the local situation. Carina22 22:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC) Reamended to original proposal. It is clear there is no reason not to adopt category:Ports and harbours of Hong Kong. Carina22 13:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Perhaps it didn't take effect because its a nonsense. Its like having a category of Ports and Harbours in London. Hong Kong is not a country, its an SAR of China. There is only one port in Hong Kong. Its called Hong Kong and it contains a number of harbours. Leave Frelke 15:52, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, it wasn't involved before as I said. If you look at category:Hong Kong you will see that it is basically treated like a country. Please consider the amended proposal. Carina22 22:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It was not until a recent edit that the port of Hong Kong (edit history) article was categorised to the category for natural harbours. — Instantnood 17:05, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Has enough content. Osomec 19:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename I think portS would be acceptable. If a separate company were to open a separate facilty that would make two ports, even if in the same city. But rename to Category:Port and harbours of Hong Kong if that is more likely to go through. CalJW 23:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: How to define one port and multiple ports? The port facilities in Hong Kong are not in one single place. There are several companies operating the facilities. — Instantnood 07:59, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well in that case there is not the slightest reason for you to object to the original proposal. If you want your own Hong Kong Wiki with its own rules, please set one up yourself. Your rejection of the standardisation of the Hong Kong menu does nothing but harm Rename Category:Ports and harbours of Hong Kong. CalJW 10:03, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: The decision should better be reversed. The differences between a port and a harbour is clearly spelt out in the relevant articles.

The histories and cultures of Irish-Americans and Italian-Americans are well documented—those are distinct and academically significant subcultures and topics. Not so of "Irish-Italian-Americans," a random category for which there is no justification. Delete as unnecessary overcategorization. Such categories are essentially original research, as they construct a topic not studied or widely focused on outside Wikipedia. However interesting a few people may consider that intersection of ethnicity, it is not one about which much can be said, nor should it be given equal importance to other ethnic subgroups that are widely recognized and studied. There is no such neighborhood as "Little Irish-Italy." Postdlf 02:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. YES!!!! FINALLY A NON-JEWISH CATEGORY GETS NOMINATED FOR DELETION!!! Anyway, I like this category in a sense because there are a lot of people who are both Irish and Italian in ancestry, but it is true that it blends together two unique cultures.Vulturell 04:37, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
