All the following should be renamed. See this discussion and the discussion below.

Grutness...wha? 00:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So far it looks to me like the bass guitarists outnumber the double-bassists by a huge amount. Certainly no objection to breaking down double-bassists by nationality, and I started on that and then realized that I had no idea of how many there really are -- ProveIt (talk) 01:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Grutness. --Mais oui! 00:22, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose deletion - as I mentioned in the similar topic for Category:American bassists, it's likely some articles mention a person "plays bass" or "is a bassist", but don't specify which exact instrument they play. This parent category is therefore useful for holding the ambiguous articles and stubs until they can be expanded with more specific information on the particular instrument. Dugwiki 21:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • If we don't know what instrument they play, we shouldn't be classifying them by instrument. Simply call them Category:British musicians. -- ProveIt (talk) 01:11, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • But if the article calls them a "bassist" then you DO know they play one of a handful of instruments. So you can still accurately subcategorize them as "bassists" as opposed to lumping them in with all the other thousands of "musicians". Dugwiki 17:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Monotonous fictional characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Delete, Redundant category already covered by Category:Unemotional fictional characters. At first glance most if not all if the names here are already listed there, and the criteria for listing is pretty arbitrary -- either the character shows no excitement (and is therefore de facto unemotional) or "boring" which requires a bit of POV. 23skidoo 17:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. I'd feel differently if this cat were filled with people who speak in monotone due to some defect in their voice box, but it looks like it's all "boring" characters and therefore complete POV. --M@rēino 20:05, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Search engines had a mix of random stuff in it. I sorted through the mess and everything ended up fitting into more specific categories. Category:Internet search engines is the right place for general Internet search engines. I created Category:Search engine software to make an unambiguous home for that sort of thing. It looks to me like Category:Search engines and Category:Search engine websites should be merged. Since neither actually have any articles, it might be a good idea to further merge the contents of both into Category:Searching. -- Beland 16:50, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the categories are jumbled, but be sure that whatever category replaces Category:Search engine websites fits appropriately as a subcategory of Category:Websites. A search engine is not the same thing as a the website which interfaces to the search engine. Yahoo! is not a search engine; it's a website, and one of its many functions is searching. ~ Booya Bazooka 17:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do all (notable) search engines exist on websites, or, for example, are there some standalone search engine programs?  If so, I guess Category:Search engine programs required. For those search engines accessed via websites, suggest Category:Websites featuring search engines to cover both websites with content other than search engines and those that are only search engines (are there any?)  Apologies in advance for any obvious ignorance, David Kernow 12:38, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More of these. The categories have all been sorted correctly, and the Saddle Creek releases category needs to become an albums category.

Category:Villains with good intentions (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Delete. This category seems to inherently rely on audience interpretation of the facts about a character, instead of anything which is actually in evidence outside of the character's own delcarations, and given that this list is widely populated with 'crazy' characters, are their own assessments of their motives valid? For example, Hannibal Lecter, human gourmand and mass murderer has 'good intentions' because he wants to reveal things about a victim to others, or to the victim? Or Poison Ivy? She wants to kill all humans so that plant life will do better. TO HER that's a good intention, to the rest of the world, that's xenocide. ThuranX 14:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. For characters like Magneto, it certainly applies. I do think some of the characters there, like Hannibal, don't apply, though. --DrBat 15:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Although I understand the general notion here, the criteria for inclusion is way too subjective. Even with Magneto above, does he REALLY have good intentions? At times his intentions are to demonstrate the superiority of the mutant race, which doesn't sound like a very good intention to me. Too hard to objectively verify. Dugwiki 16:18, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete POV. Hawkestone 10:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete too subjective to determine what to include, and much more trouble than it's worth. ~ Booya Bazooka 00:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — too subjective. It would be better to use Category:Anti-hero for those appropriate ("An anti-hero in today's books and films will perform acts generally deemed "heroic," but will do so with methods, manners, or intentions that may not be heroic.", from Anti-hero).

Topic is already covered nicely by road running article. -- ProveIt (talk) 14:42, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - It seems to me that there are probably articles about specific Road Running races. Those articles would fit in well with this category. Likewise, articles about particular runners who race a lot of Road Running events, and organizers who put together these events, and Road Running specific organizations, all would fit within this category. So I can see some use for this category; it just needs to be further populated. Dugwiki 16:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, while I hate the way the editors of Dead Runners Society just guessed as to what categories it should go in without checking our structure first, this is a legitimate topic for a category. Agree it should be populated. Recury 14:29, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Road race marathons should be added to this category. Cloachland 02:16, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was listify --Kbdank71 16:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:100 receiving touchdown club to Category:American football players with 100 or more touchdown receptions

  • Rename in accordance with WP:NAME. The phrase "American football players" is slightly problematic as it could refer to Americans who play football (soccer) or those who play American football but I don't know of a very good solution. Suggestions are welcome but it seems clear to me that the current title is way too vague and unencylopedic ("club?"). ElKevbo 13:16, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also be okay with listifying this and the other categories listed below by Meegs assuming their names are also changed. --ElKevbo 06:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think this is a good use for categories, whatever their name. There are a number of other statistics categories in Category:American football players that are similar. Among other issues, it is hard to monitor categories to make sure they are correct and complete. If we need to represent these sets of players, it should be in a list or article. ×Meegs 13:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Why not include all of the ...club categories? I wonder if these really belong as categories or would be better kept as a list. If I had to decide now I would probably vote to Listify all of these statistical categories. Vegaswikian 19:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify this and others per Vegaswikian. Lists can contain info such as games, dates. --Dhartung | Talk 06:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've just tagged and linked these eight similar categories to this discussion ×Meegs 06:49, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/Rename. The 100 and 200 passing touchdown club I think should be kept, along with the 40 and 50 Inteception club and the 10,000 rushing yard club. Their are more players with 50 interceptions but I got three surgery's on my ankle and I'm still trying to do my best. --Phbasketball6 14:45, 18 August 2006 (UTC) I won't mind one little bit if the name is change and if you delete those categories why don't you delete the Category:300 win club and the Category:3000 strikeout club categories while your at it. Not trying to be mean, just trying to make a point. --Phbasketball6 14:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, but there are quite a few baseball cats and it's a bit late in the week. If the football cats are deleted or renamed, though, the subcats of Category:Baseball records should probably follow suit in a different nomination next week. ×Meegs 15:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and listify. There are too many possibilities here. The Hall of Fame categories cover leading sportspeople fairly well. Cloachland 02:15, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify. Based on the response to my comment above. Vegaswikian 02:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't as clear as it might sound, because Harry recorded under both of those names. But it's clearly the same person, so she should have one category. I picked the one matching the article title, but I could go the other way.--Mike Selinker 12:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cities and towns in Italy with their own subcategory to Category:Cities and towns in Italy with their own category

  • Rename, I created this just now because the major cities that most people will look for were getting lost in the regional categories, and outside of Italy probably many people don't know which region each major Italian city is located in. However the "sub" is redundant - looked at in its own light each category is just a category. Honbicot 12:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If someone is going to provide and rationale for the status quo, let me tell them that vast majority of contributors are not expert linguists and eventually screw up any smart division, with so many foreign words here to come.

  • Merge, To bring them inline with similar categories. - LA @ 08:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Question - Is it your intent that your new template will make all of these templates depreciated? If so, I suggest that this be withdrawn for now and then in a bit, after people have time to switch to the new one, all of the templates and the 2 existing categories could be deleted. --Brian G (Talk) 12:58, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, that is exactly my intent, but the TfD will not be started for a few more days, so let's get all of the user templates in one place since they probably won't get deleted for another two weeks. - LA @ 23:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
