  • Delete, that the video game is released on a dual layer DVD is not a defining characteristic. Recury 19:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's probably a bad idea to categorize games by possible formats they might appear on. It would be a bit like categorizing films by whether or not they've appear on VHS, Beta, DvD, Blu-Ray, etc. Dugwiki 20:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Child villains (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Non defining subcategorization of villains. Most entries are not true villains (such as Nelson and Cartman) and those which are should be upmerged accordingly. ~ZytheTalk to me! 18:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep within context of Category:Fictional villains The above problems with ambiguity are due to problems in the parent category Category:Fictional villains. That is, whether or not Cartman is a villain has to do with how the parent category defines what the word "villain" means. But using the assumption that we're keeping Fictional Villains as a category, then I think Child Villains is a reasonable subcategory of that. Therefore my vote would be to keep Child Villains as a way to subcategorize members of Fictional Villains who are children. That done, it is probably worth investigating whether to tighten the category definition for Fictional Villains to clarify whether or not unlikable characters like Cartman qualify as being villainous. Dugwiki 20:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Why? All the "categorized by age" categories were deleted for a reason.~ZytheTalk to me! 19:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also rename to Category:Fictional child villains I'd also suggest renaming the category to Fictional Child Villains to make clear that it doesn't apply to actual children who have committed heinous acts (eg real life child murderers). Dugwiki 20:43, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge, upon examination the categories appear to be duplicate in purpose. The main article is at University of Wisconsin-Madison.choster 17:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment UW has a number of campuses outside of Madison so a separate category for those alumni is appropriate. Any UW-Madison alumni should go to that cat but non-Madisons should not. Otto4711 20:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The text inside the first cat says "Alumni of the University of Wisconsin-Madison." This is overlap. Xiner 22:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As I already noted, all the alumni in this category are Madison alumni. If someone wants to create a parallel category for UW-Stout alumni, s/he may do so. I am saying that "university system" is nebulous. It's like categorizing by "people from municipalities with the manager-council system"—it's an administrative/political arrangement that imparts no significant information about the individual. -choster 14:53, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Non-defining indeed. — coelacan talk — 16:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep, after reading the link that Muntuwandi made available. That article could use some work, but the external links demonstrate that this is a real phenomenon that has been observed and noted by reliable sources. I don't know if I'd call it a "genre" exactly, but it's something, and while this characteristic may or may not be defining for each particular movie, together they construct a larger frame that this category does a good job of cataloguing. I would recommend all future voters read those external links in White protagonist in Africa films. — coelacan talk — 05:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Xiner 03:18, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm changing my vote to "Strong Rename". It is possible the topic justifies a category, but consider "I love New York apples" and "I love New York films". It's simply unclear whether here you're talking about films made in Africa, set in Africa, or made about Africa. As it stands brings up too divisive an image, perhaps unintentionally, but divisive nonetheless. I certainly see your point; you can make the same case for Chinatown films. I strongly urge a rename, including for the article. Xiner 15:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the title is unclear, but "Films featuring a white protagonist in Africa" would also work. How do you feel about that title? — coelacan talk — 16:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not a defining characteristic. Hawkestone 19:57, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is a defining characteristic. Isn't it ironic that most of the movies about Africa are actually about Non-Africans. The purpose of the category is to highlight such films or trends in such films. Muntuwandi 23:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. The concept can be extended infinitely to any film where the setting is secondary and people associated with the setting are ignored or dehumanized; q.v. orientalism. I could argue the Bridget Jones sequel fits—big parts of the plot is driven by an English woman (played by an American) and two English men in Austria (where the people in the movie speak the wrong dialect) and Thailand (where the most prominent Thais are prostitutes being held in a jail). -choster 15:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the concept can't be extended infinitely on Wikipedia, because we are limited by WP:NOR. In this case, original research doesn't play into it, the external links document that this is a phenomenon discussed widely enough for notability here. There's no need to worry about this being a run-away train of new categories, because of WP:NOR. — coelacan talk — 16:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes the concept can be extended infinitely. But I Think Africa is in a unique situation because relatively speaking not many films are set in Africa. Therefore the few that are will have a significant effect in influencing the viewers perceptions about Africa. Muntuwandi 16:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep this really does seem to be a new (and increasingly controversial) sub-genre. A recent review of Last King of Scotland, while positive, took time to critique the film for being another in a long line of white protagonist in Africa films. It may be political correctness, or it may be justified, but this is becoming a bona fide issue in cinema, at least for some.Shawn in Montreal 05:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a bad precedent. If there is a legitimate topic here, it will be better covered by an article. Osomec 09:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is truly disheartening how someone can come here and vote on this without even reading the several comments already made talking about the article and the topic, including where I bolded: "I would recommend all future voters read those external links in White protagonist in Africa films."

  • Delete or Rename It doesn't appear this category is even necessary. Generally it's a bad idea to create unique categories for specific shows and films, including radio shows. Cast lists instead simply can appear in the main article with links to the actors/participants, or in a sub-article as a list. Recommend deletion, or if kept then the rename is fine.

    • Comment This cat is not just the cast, it includes articles on ISIHAC games and characters. (I'm shocked and disapointed that we don't yet have bios of Mrs Trellis or the lovely Samantha ;-) ) -- AJR | Talk 19:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Characters on radio shows are already (or should be) subcategorized under Category:Radio characters. Actors on radio shows are under Category:Radio actors, and other personalities would be under Category:Radio personalities (or one of its subcategories). The only thing that might justify this having its own category (in my opinion) would be the mini-game articles, which don't appear to have an appropriate parent category on their own. (Category:Radio games is more for the actual shows than the mini-games within the shows.). So barring a way to subcategorize the mini-game articles such as One Song to the Tune of Another I don't see a good alternative at the moment to keeping the category. Dugwiki 00:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom...to match the title used by the BBC. The category should be kept, it is useful for linking together the articles on the various aspects of the show - it is more than just a cast list (which already exists in the main article). EdJogg 17:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that the main article already serves the purpose of linking articles related to the show. A reader interested in reading about any of the actors or characters or other information can simply visit the main article for the show and click the appropriate link. Thus a category is not actually needed for that purpose. Dugwiki 00:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep - the categories are a bit silly perhaps but I've seen sillier. The entries seem appropriate to the cats. Otto4711 20:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Many are about a topic that includes anthropomorphic martial artists/samurai, but that are not one themselves. I'm uncertain if that's an appropriate use of the cat. Notably, Jadeclaw is a roleplaying game (in-universe characters are anthropomorphic martial artists, but so are some characters in a great many RPGs...). Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (action figures) is about the toy product, not the characters themselves. Kung Fu Panda is a somewhat crystalball-ish 2008 movie entry (although its characters would certainly qualify). Kemono is a category of Japanese art. Also, the Komodo Brothers are Arabian Nights-style characters who wield scimitars (and are certainly not samurai, and arguably not martial artists). Regardless, I wouldn't object to the merge suggestion below, with some cleanup. Serpent's Choice 06:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:United Methodist bishops by U.S. State (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Overcategorisation: none of the sub-categories which I have examined contains more than six articles, and many are empty. There is also a conflict between the definition of this category and its parent: Category:United Methodist bishops by U.S. State arranges bishops "by the U.S. State(s) to which each is/was assigned"; whereas Category:American United Methodist bishops includes only bishops who are "who are American by nationality". It seems unwise to presume that Bishops serving in the US will always be American by nationality, and while this could perhaps be resolved by assigning to a different parent category rather than deleting, it does suggest some confusion of purpose in this category. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have just done some counting. This category tree contsains 74 entries, amounting to to only 55 unique articles. That's a total of 51 categories for 55 people. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP all of these categories will become very helpful as more and more biographies of U.M. Bishops are written. It will help categorize them in ways to make each easily accessible and comparable to each other. Countering BrownHairedGirl, of course Bishops serving in the U.S. ARE American by nationality (though they may be of various ethnicities). No foreign Bishop is allowed to serve in the U.S.A. because foreign U.M. Bishops are elected under different rules, with term-limits and such. Bishops from outside the U.S. are elected for service in their geographical/national areas. This is all according to the Book of Discipline of the U.M. Church!! So Category:American United Methodist bishops is only for the purpose of NATIONALITY, not assignment or areas of service. The Area categories organize Bishops by where they are/were assigned. The State categories do as well, as do many other categories by U.S. States. Another argument BrownHairedGirl makes is that there are few articles in some of these categories. But there are hundreds of such underpopulated categories in Wikipedia! Shall we delete ALL of them?!?! Again, as more of these articles are completed, these categories will become more populated. If I am quick to create categories, some others are way too quick to delete them! Any other questions about any of these categories I will be happy to answer. Thanks! Pastorwayne 12:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment If these categories were an appropriate way of subdivinding the bishops, the categorisation could be done when there are enough articles to populate the categories. But 51 categories for 55 articles is just category clutter. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge all to Category:American United Methodist bishops and bar Pastorwayne from category creation - Bishops should be sorted according to diocese, not state. Note that most of Pastorwayne's categoreies are simply impractical, as can be seen in most clergy-related category discussions in November and December 2006. Many of the newer categories are only slightly different from previously deleted categories. (I believe categories such as "Bishops of Ohio" and "Bishops of Texas" categories have already been nominated for deletion in WP:CFD, with strong support for deletion.) Pastorwayne's category creation is becoming disruptive; administrative intervention may be warranted. Dr. Submillimeter 13:01, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • To support my point, Category:Roman Catholic bishops of Ohio, which was created by Pastorwayne, is nominated for deletion, with the majority of votes to delete or upmerge. Dr. Submillimeter 13:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • But if you upmerge to Category:American United Methodist bishops then that will be incorrect, since Category:American United Methodist bishops is only for Bishops who are American by NATIONALITY, not necessarily by assignment. Moreover, U.M. Bishops are not assigned to Dioceses. The Areas to which they are assigned are of a variety of geographic areas, so the State categories are helpful to know where each also serves. Plus, just as many other categories are organized by U.S. State, the same applies to these categories and subcats. Thanks. Pastorwayne 13:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Pastorwayne, if the upmerging would lead to the articles being incorrectly categorised, then the categories have been incorrectly categorised (I noted the problem in the nomination). I have to say that given the number of ill-considered categories which you have created, I have to support Dr. Submillimeter's proposal to bar Pastorwayne from category creation, but that is is a discussion which belongs at WP:ANI. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Note that Pastorwayne's contributions here are self-contradictory: at 12:14 he says that "No foreign Bishop is allowed to serve in the U.S.A", but at 13:13 he says that upmeging would lead to incorrect categorisation. This confusion in purpose is becoming disruptive :( --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:40, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Rather than attack a user, why not just ask for clarification. What I meant to say (and if I contradicted myself, of course I appologize) is that U.S. UMC Bishops serve in the U.S. Non-U.S. Bishops serve elsewhere in the World (though at one time U.S. Bishops served elsewhere in the World, too). Since Category:American United Methodist bishops is for American (by Nationality) Bishops, to upmerge all Area subcats to this would be incorrect, since some of those Areas are overseas (i.e., served by non-American Bishops). Only American (Nationality) Bishops should be in Category:American United Methodist bishops. CIVILITY, please! Pastorwayne 16:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Merge all to Category:Bishops of the United Methodist Church - I found the original parent category and changed my vote accordingly. I still advocate barring Pastorwayne from category creation, at least for a probationary period. Dr. Submillimeter 17:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment some of these categories (the ones ending in 'Area') are for the equivalent of dioceses (called episcopal areas in the United Methodist Church), and therefore categorize based on the specific office that the person held. Mairi 03:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Categories that end in "Area"; Merge others to Category:Bishops of the United Methodist Church - Mairi and Alynna have provided a good justification for keeping categories that end in "Area" (although the categories need explanations to explain what an "Area" is). The state categories should still be deleted. Dr. Submillimeter 11:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge all into Category:United Methodist bishops. Apparently there's a total of 51 categories for 55 people, and yet somehow the most natural and obvious of them all is strangely missing. The first place anyone would look just isn't there. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Upmerge all (for now) With only 55 or so total articles it's unnecessary to subdivide them by state. If and when there are a couple hundred such articles, I'd support subdivision by either state or diocese (whatever is most appropriate). But for now it appears that dividing by state, while possibly forward thinking, is overkill. Dugwiki 16:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • so let me ask a simple question: the ONLY reason for subcats is when cats become too large? Are not subcats also for helpfully organizing articles for easy discovery and comparison? Thanks. Pastorwayne 16:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • The answer is that subdividing by state is mainly helpful for organization when it subdivides a large number of articles. When only a small number are subdivided, though, it just adds an extra layer of division that makes it harder for readers to find the article they're looking for because rather than having one page worth to scan, they instead have numerous subcategories to browse each of which is on its own page. So I think it's best to hold off on this sort of subdivision until it's actually needed. Dugwiki 20:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • thank you for a most helpful answer! I will seek to restrain myself from creating subcats only because I find them helpful, until largeness of cats suggests it. God bless! Pastorwayne 21:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Some of you seem to think the only reason to create a subcat is because the parent cat is too full (100's of articles, for example). However, I find NOthing in the guidelines about cats and subcats that says this is the only reason! Indeed, I find nothing there that really says this is the most important reason. Instead, it says to use subcats when that would make it easier for users to find articles: like when you want to know all the U.M. Bishops in a particular U.S. State or Episcopal Area!! Or when you want to compare and contrast various Religious leaders in a U.S. State, etc., etc., etc. Lots and lots and LOTS of cats have very few articles. That does not make them unhelpful or uncyclopeadic. As such, it sure seems you are being way to anxious to delete a number of helpful cats and subcats!! Wouldn't it make more sense to have a discussion on a subcat's talk page as to it's helpfulness? I only create subcats that appear helpful in understanding a topic better, making interesting comparisons between articles, etc. But I am always willing to answer questions from folks who may not see it this way. Pastorwayne 11:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • And don't some of you have much BETTER things to do than to worry about how such a small part of Wikipedia is being categorized? I bet there are much more popular areas that would be better served by all of your boundless energy! Of course, you'd probably say the same thing (and HAVE) about my interest in creating categories.

  • Comment Would it be possible to divide this discussion into the state categories and the Episcopal Area categories? The state categories should definitely be deleted. Not only are they overcategorisation, but they overlap the actual areas bishops are assigned to. The Episcopal Area categories, on the other hand... The only issue with these is their underpopulation. As they are organised according to the actual position held by the bishops, they are potentially useful. --Alynna 06:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete category and first level subcategories not containing "Area" (all of the state categories which contain area subcategories). For now, keep already existing Category:United Methodist bishops by Episcopal Area and its subcategories, subject to later reexamingation. Gene Nygaard 22:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I think this is unwise. I can see that the Bishops by area categories are a different case to the state categories, in that they are at least potentially useful. However, although Pastorwayne has been creating articles on these bishops for ten months, the fact is that there are only 55 articles on these bishops. I count 32 area categories, so we are looking at an average of less than two articles per category. These categories are at best premature; categories that small impede navigation rather than heling it. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:40, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge all to Category:Bishops of the United Methodist Church and encourage Pastor Wayne to improve List of Bishops of the United Methodist Church by adding some useful info to it such as Areas and perhaps states. roundhouse 20:23, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • But that info is not what that list is for. It is a list of the Bishops, only. Each biographical article, then, belongs in various categories. The Area categories are underpopulated only because not all of the occupants have yet been identified or written. But I assure you, such Area categories are an absolutely helpful way to connect all the Bishops. Thanks. Pastorwayne 13:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to keep List of Bishops of the United Methodist Church simply as a chronological list, that's fine. But you could also create a List of Bishops of the United Methodist Church by Episcopal Area, which would include a section for each area, or you could create a separate list for each area; either way, you could rapidly identify which area had enough biographical articles to merit a category. But I'm very disappointed to see that you still think that creating a plethora of categories with one or two article each helps navigation. If and when enough biographical articles are written on a particular area to merit a category, by all means create the category; but not until then.
Some counting: List of Bishops of the United Methodist Church contains 569 bishops. That consists of bishops from 5 different denominations: UM, TMC, MEC, MEC(S) and EUB (the MPC no bishops). Many of those denominations had different episcopal areas. With 50 states in the USA, assuming only one episcopal area per state, and assume that some denominations had very patchy coverage (as with the 19th-century north/south split), it is reasonable to estimate that there would need to be 100 to 200 categories of the format "Bishops of the xxx church of the zzz area" (plus more for the bishops outside the USA). That's going to be an average of less than 5 articles per category, even if every bishop has a biographical article (which is at best a long way off); some categories may have a dozen or more articles, but others will have only one or two articles. That situation will be a navigation nightmare, and that's if all the bishops have articles :( The only useful way that I can see to categorise these bishops is by denomination (with a possible subcat for missionary bishops), with lists for the episcopal areas. That will divide the 569 articles (if and when they are created) into about 8 categories, which seems much more manageable and useable. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:30, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Like I said before, these bishops don't represent say New York. I don't see why they should be categorized as such. Merge all, like I said. Xiner (talk, email) 14:57, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, as BrownHairedGirl pointed out, most of the 569 bishops don't have articles so there's no need to subdivide them yet. However, if and when most of them DO have articles, I think we can probably agree that having 569 articles all under the same category of "American Bishops" is a situation that could be improved by subdividing them somehow. Whether you divide them by states or regions or diocese or whatever else is kind of beyond the scope of this particular cfd discussion. My advice would be to take the longer term discussion of exactly what subdivision would work best if and when these 569 bishops have articles to an appropriate Wiki project page. There's not much point trying to hash out those future-looking details here and now. Dugwiki 16:55, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment A while back, there was a big debate on what the article World Wrestling Entertainment alumni should be called because people kept renaming it. We debated this at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling a while back and agreed that the most appropriate term for former roster members is alumni and that roster denotes current roster, and all pages dealing with alumni were changed to that name. Since these categories are basically the category version of these alumni pages, they should also be named alumni for that same reason. James Duggan 19:02, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep It looks like this discussion already took place on November 12 above. Unless something has significantly changed the category name should remain in place as a procedural matter (to allow for consistency and closure in previously decided cfd's). Dugwiki 16:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sounds like the new system actually conflicts with the guidelines of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories) - People/Occupation. The guideline specifies that Occupation categories should not be divided into "current" or "former" categories. For example, Category:Former child actors and Category:Current Minnesota Twins players should not exist. Therefore the categories you mentioned that break wrestlers down between current-and-former categories should probably all be merged. Dugwiki 21:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I'm just looking for name consistency, as I pointed out with the other categories above. I would suggest bringing this up to WP:PW on our talk page because we obviously didn't know about that guidline. I still don't like "roster" because it can denote current (just look at the roster articles, they are all current rosters). Maybe using "wrestlers" at the end instead of either "alumni" or "roster", and we can include both past and present roster members. Or we can just scrap these categories. Anyway, this issue has become too complicate now to wrap my head around, so bringing it up to the Pro wrestling WikiProject might help us best decide on the direction these categories go. James Duggan 21:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • That sounds like a good idea. I'll post a thread at that project. Meanwhile, I'd suggest holding off on changing this category until you guys have a chance to review the guideline I mentioned and see how it might affect your other related categories. Then perhaps do an umbrella cfd nomination for all the similarly named categories to get them either renamed or deleted as appropriate. Dugwiki 16:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for doing that. In the mean time though, I think they should all be the same name, regardless of the rules, just for consistency sakes, while we discuss what name they should actually be at, as I doubt that "roster" will be the name settled on. James Duggan 01:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Roster implies the present. Alumni is more accurate. Xiner 20:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that per the Nov 25 discussion, the phrase "roster" was chosen specifically because it can include both former and present members. Also note that, as I mentioned above, Wiki categorization guidelines for people say that occupation categories should not be divided into current and former subcategories. Dugwiki 21:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If that is the case then WWE, TNA, ROH, ECW, etc. should not have an alumni page.
