This is misspelled. I already moved everything to the correct spelling. Ace of Sevens 23:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually you have things backwards: cancelled is the only British spelling, while in American English, canceled is more common. I have no preference. ×Meegs 22:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Created for a bunch of crufty articles on individual episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where are You!, which is akin to writing seperate articles on every Big Mac sandwich ever made. All articles merged to List of Scooby-Doo, Where are You! episodes, making category unneccessary. --FuriousFreddy 18:22, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What's the distinction between this and, say, the various Doctor Who episode categories? I don't have an opinion one way or the other, but I figure there might as well be a standard one way or the other. Doogie2K (talk) 15:58, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, it's a number-of-articles thing. The Doctor Who categories are for many dozens of well-researched articles. This category would only have one entry (the rest of the shows having episode guides on their article pages), and so can be deleted. But if a user goes nuts and writes an in-depth article summary for every one of those meddling kids' adventures, a category will seem more appropriate.--Mike Selinker 17:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I previously listed this category, but forgot to tag the article, so let's try again: Apparently for TV shows that have had some sort of pop-culture impact, but that is so nebulous and subjective that a category seems unworkable. —tregoweth (talk) 14:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging all articles that are about items that are plot points in the book Angels and Demons (articles like antimatter, CERN, Holy See, Vatican City). This is specific enough to be clutter in most of the articles tagged (the book is already mentioned in the "X in fiction" sections where appropriate). --Christopher Thomas 11:55, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename the following to match the other Australian categories which take the form of 'state politicians, see Category:Tasmanian politicians ect.--Peta 05:28, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This mess desperately needs to be sorted out, and I support Peta's proposal, except for one issue. I don't understand any of these categories to contain politicians by residence. I understand them to contain politicians by origin. In particular, I use Category:Politicians from Western Australia for politicians born in Western Australia irrespective of the political system in which they are involved. And I use Category:Political office-holders in Western Australia for politicians in Western Australia's political system irrespective of where they were born. I don't see the need for a third categorisation that captures politicians by where they currently reside, and I would oppose replacing the origin semantics with a residence semantics, because I think the origin semantics is far more interesting and useful, and it fits more neatly within its supercategories, e.g. Category:People from Western Australia. Snottygobble 11:42, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Snottygobble (I think, if I have interpreted correctly) - too many cats - delete any that only refer to place of residence and/or merge with where they hold office and/or where they come from as in People of ... . We do need categories like Category:Political office-holders in Western Australia or whatever to cover the place for where the individual holds/held office. We don't need to know where they live at any given moment; we do need to know they are people of a place. For example, John Howard is categorised as "People of Sydney" among many others: Australian Anglicans | Current national leaders | Liberal Party of Australia politicians | Living people | Members of the Australian House of Representatives | Members of the Cabinet of Australia | New South Wales Federal politicians | People of Sydney | Prime Ministers of Australia | Treasurers of Australia | Government ministers of Australia. He doesn't live in Canberra :-) We could have a special cat for people not living in Canberra who others think should (joke). We don't really need to know he lives in Sydney most of the time through a category - if it is important, the fact can be included in the article.--A Y Arktos\talk 00:16, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is no reaon a person from WA could not be in Category:Western Australian politicians, Category:New South Wales politicans and Category:Governors of New South Wales, the above listed categories create a confusing stiuation and are not in keeping with the naming convention applies to other states and territories.--Peta 01:20, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • A politician can have served in more than one jurisdiction, especially say Federal and State (perhaps even more than one state but I can't think of any examples other than governors of whom there were a few. Any given politician can also be from more than one place, eg born somewhere, lived somewhere else, educated even elsewhere. I assume Hawke would not be categorised under Politicians of South Australia even though he was born there. The cat type is really only useful for organising sub cats. However, these sub cats could be organised say in the case of SA under Members of the Australian House of Representatives by Division, ''Members of the South Australian House of Assembly, ... There is already a cat such as New South Wales Federal politicians which might help to decipher the place issue where it is not immediately apparent in the case of Federal politicians. I don't disagree with the renaming proposal but I don't think these cats should be kept - not a useful aggregation, if they are kept, the criteria for inclusion is probably not place of residence. Apologies if my argument inadequately coherent - happy to try to clarify further.--A Y Arktos\talk 01:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Noone is proposing deletion, just a coherent naming strategy :) We should sort out what does where [Wikipedia:WikiProject Australian politics here]--Peta 02:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • I have withdrawn my objection above. I had assumed "by residence" to mean "by current residence", whereas (if I understand Peta correctly) it actually means "by notable (current or past) residence". Under this semantics, a politician belongs in Category:Western Australian politicians if he or she has lived in Western Australia and the fact that they have lived in Western Australia is notable. e.g. John Curtin belongs in the category because his time in Western Australia was important to his political development and career; but Herbert Hoover (who spent a year prospecting for gold in Western Australia) does not belong because his period of residence in Western Australia is not particularly notable (and in fact isn't even mentioned in his article). This is reasonably consistent with my current understanding of Category:Politicians from Western Australia, so this proposal is merely a matter of renaming to the standard. I now support the proposal. Snottygobble 02:35, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category was created by User --Spasage on 19 May 2006.However there already existed Category:Indian Muslims created on 16 May 2006. "Indian Muslims" is widely used term . A search for "Indian Muslims" gets 294,000 hits on google [1] , whereas the similar search for "Muslim Indians" get only 18,000 hits [2] . Unlike Muslims in say Germany and Britain Muslims of India are not immigrants so "Indian Muslims' category is appropriate . Therefore the Category:Muslim Indians should be deleted.Shyamsunder 15:20, 02 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Actually if you wanted to change the name, you should have initiated a process of renaming the category instead of creating a rival. If you still like to do so, that's absolutely fine, but I think "Muslim Indians" must go for now. Rama's Arrow 07:12, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
