Keep as category redirect to Category:Biuro Szyfrów. -- ProveIt (talk) 21:55, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Redirecting categories creates that annoying circular entry. Appleseed (Talk) 22:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think you are thinking of the #REDIRECT method, which doesn't work on categories. I changed the category so you can see what {{Category redirect}} looks like, but as I understand it, the patrol bot only runs if the last edit was by an admin. -- ProveIt (talk) 23:01, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Either way, I don't think it's a useful redirect. It only adds clutter. Appleseed (Talk) 23:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as redirect Of course it is a useful redirect. I don't now how to type ó except by cutting and pasting it, and that must be true of hundreds of millions of English speakers. Choalbaton 00:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was listified to List of former towns or villages gained city status alone --Kbdank71 17:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The category is for former Japanese villages or towns that managed to become cities without merging with another town or village in order to gain city status. We should either kill it or think of a descriptive name. So far I haven't been able to come up with one. -- ProveIt (talk) 18:44, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename/merge to Category:Islamic conquests --Kbdank71 16:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not a good idea. If kept, at least rename to Category:Muslim conquerors. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:34, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, religion is not really linked to conquest in any meaningful way, so there's no need to combine the two in one category. Kirill Lokshin 15:59, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • That is simply not true in this case, as Islam was founded by a warrior leader and expanded primarily by conquest, but I'm not sure whether the category is a good idea or not. Choalbaton 20:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Many religions expanded by conquest, but that's really beside the point. Something like Category:Military leaders of the Islamic conquests (to match the existing Category:Islamic conquests and its children) might be a good idea; but the current naming would allow anyone who was both Muslim and a conqueror (Saddam Hussein, for example) rather than limiting it to those people whose role in the expansion of Islam through conquest is of historical interest. Kirill Lokshin 23:28, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • It is not besides the point at all. Conquest was of the essence for the development of Islam from the beginning in a way that is fundamentally different from all other major religions. I was pointing out this fundamental fact to help out in the debate. I did not vote keep, but you are pushing me towards doing so. Choalbaton 00:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete isn't the expansionist period of Islam better documented elsewhere on Wiki? Presumably there's an article somewhere that consists of more than a single name--a category of names drawn from History_of_Islam could be useful. If there isn't a better existing substitute, then keep, rename, and expand
    (And yes, of course Islam had a period focused on conquest. Documenting that is no more "not a good idea" than including articles about the Crusades.)
    Dybryd 22:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Category:Islamic conquests which already contains military leaders. Neither category is populated enough as yet to be worth splitting. If the decision is to keep, then it should be renamed to the correct spelling. Mike Christie 00:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Mike, otherwise rename to "Muslim conquerors" or delete. David Kernow 07:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as this is such a potential catch-all. --Dhartung | Talk 09:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All categories containing the phrase "TurboGrafx 16" edit

The result of the debate was rename/merge as nominated --Kbdank71 16:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The correct name of the video game console is "TurboGrafx-16" with a dash. There are various categories containing this phrase, and they really should all be renamed so that they contain the dash (and the capital G, if there are any cases where the G isn't already capital).

Category:Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman songs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Delete, Unnecessary category with one single article. Since Macnee and Blackman never recorded any other songs together, there will only ever be one single article. 23skidoo 02:41, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per nominator. -/- Warren 08:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either keep or split into category:Patrick Macnee songs and category:Honor Blackman songs, for which it is possible for more articles to be created. Regardless, category:Songs by artist doesn't care how many articles are in its subcategories, because all songs need an artist category.--Mike Selinker 17:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. To my knowledge, "Kinky Boots" is the only commercially released recording Macnee ever made. Honor Blackman did record an album, only one, and the songs on there are mostly NN material that is unlikely to have song articles created. Maybe there's a policy that's been changed, but just like disambiguation pages, it's my understanding that a category must have a minimum number of items -- or at least the potential to have said minimum -- in order to be viable. 23skidoo 04:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • From the category:Songs by artist page: "Please note that all single-artist song articles should have subcategories here, regardless of how many songs the artist has recorded."--Mike Selinker 19:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • No it isn't. It has been established that one category articles are acceptable. Carina22 17:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Based on information given this is a legitimate and appropriate category . Carina22 17:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sort of yes, but they are merely phone services that use the internet sites. (e.g. 118118/PriceRunner partnership). Not sure if there are any other examples. Blowski 23:23, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
