    Basically, we're using "war" for the category names, as it's by far the more commonly used term; the (rather pedantic) distinction between the two terms isn't really sufficient to justify a separate category tree (similarly to how the "by country" categories typically contain a few that aren't technically countries).

Category:Fictional characters with the power to manipulate energy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Plans for this category appear to have fallen through, with its last rename it lost all its worth by becoming too vague. Combined with the loss of the Green Lanterns category, it would simply transform itself into a "Green Lantern and Green Lantern pastiches" category with a view characters whose powers are ill defined (like Ling-Ling) and the odd magician. Maybe someone can create a force field category another time. Either way this one really should go. ~ZytheTalk to me! 11:07, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Settlers of the National Capital Region of Canada edit

The result of the debate was no consensus --Kbdank71 13:54, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Settlers of the National Capital Region of Canada to Category:Category:Settlers of the Ottawa Valley

  • Rename, This category was recently renamed, but the previous CfR discussion did not quite reach a consensus that "National Capital Region of Canada" was appropriate. Both Kingston, Ontario and Quebec City can lay claim to being Canada's capital in the past, and the Quebec area is in fact still called the "National Capital." All the settlement happened before it was made the capital (in 1857). NCR is a recent name for the area, only used since the 1980s. --HKMarksTALKCONTRIBS 04:14, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. First, I disagree that the name of the category has to reflect a geographical name that existed at the time that the settlers arrived. Various names were used at various times, and it is not clear to me that all the settlers would have even used the name "Ottawa Valley". We should use the name that most clearly identifies the area in question today for Wikipedia users. If we're bound by historic names, then Category:Settlers of Canada should be renamed (which would be absurd), because a number of those settlers settled in areas that were not considered Canada at that time.

    Second, I'm not sure why you suggest that the National Capital Region is a recent term from the 1980s. Yes, the Mulroney government enacted a new National Capital Act in 1985, but a prior National Capital Act (which defined the National Capital Region) existed since 1958. And for decades before that, the Federal Commission Act governed the National Capital District, which is an almost identical term, although NCR was a term also in use at that time. In any event, all of this is completely irrelevant, because we should be looking to use the clearest term in use today.

    Third, and perhaps most importantly, Ottawa Valley is an inadequate name for the category. Technically, the valley may extend on both sides of the river, but it is commonly used to refer to areas only on the Ontario side, and often used to refer to areas outside of urban Ottawa. The term is, therefore, inexact in use and is almost certain to mislead some users. For example, it would seem odd to see Philemon Wright, perhaps one of the most important settlers in the area, in an Ottawa Valley category, since Hull is rarely thought of as being in the Ottawa Valley.

    Finally, Quebec City is often referred to as the Capitale-Nationale, but never as the National Capital of Canada, so it is puzzling as to where confusion might arise. As to the historic fact that Kingston and Quebec City briefly served as Canadian capital (not to mention Montreal), I doubt that they were referred to as the "national" capital at that time. In any event, no confusion would arise since a person from the 1850s is unlikely to be using Wikipedia. More to the point, a quick check of the Kingston, Ontario, Quebec City and National Capital Region (Canada) articles reveals no current confusion as to what is the National Capital of Canada, so a Wikipedia user today is extremely unlikely to believe that the category in question pertains to Kingston or Quebec City.

All the articles associated with Panic are presumably already linked in the main article for interested readers. Dugwiki 15:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Bad idea. --NewtΨΦ 17:58, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. Every band with an albums and songs subcategory should have a category. It's part of the defacto navigation system for musicians. --kingboyk 18:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply A parent category is not actually needed in these cases. Simply include the categories "Albums by X" and "Songs by X" in the musician's main article. The main article becomes the hub readers can use to navigate the album and song categories for that musician. There is no need to create an additional unique category named after that musician to house them. Dugwiki 15:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep per kingboyk. This category is doing its job in the hierarchal system as the parent to the subcats. We could delete practically every category under the logic that you can get to articles via links in other articles. I don't know the band's work, but why is Panic! at the Disco prone to attracting AFds and CFDs...? The JPStalk to me 20:20, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Very silly category. Plus it could potentially violate NPOV. --Downwards 01:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Probably impossible to listify with NPOV. David Kernow (talk) 05:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Do not make into a list either. I mean how can we determine whether it was malicious, simply reckless, or accidental?--T. Anthony 06:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete. Oh, good grief. Doczilla 07:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per above Dugwiki 15:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete POV and laughable. --NewtΨΦ 17:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Deleted, as was the only article in the category. Whole thing seemed to be an attack and should have been zapped on sight! --kingboyk 18:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Apparently already deleted and ready for closure : ) - jc37 09:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Natural monuments of South Korea (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete This has been created, doubtless with good intentions, to contain a single article, but that article was already in Category:Valleys and I have transferred it to Category:Valleys of South Korea. Category:Natural monuments does not exist and given its vague nature I do not think that setting it up would enhance the category system. Hawkestone 00:32, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Merchbow 12:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Category system is not a tree, and I don't see why the article in question can't exist in two separate categories. - jc37 09:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
