    • You're using a bad argument. It's not all-or-nothing. Put the others up for deletion and I'll say they should be deleted too. But keeping some crap because a whole lot of other crap hasn't been dealt with is, well, crap. --Cyde Weys 23:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • They are all up for discussion, and you can put in your deletion votes there too. But swamping these with delete votes will likely only lead to them being kept as is, which means we'll have to nominate them again because of the consensus to have "Wikipedian" in the titles. And that keeps them on this page until and unless they get a separate page. So I don't think you, Doc, and Golfcam are doing yourselves any favors if you want to see them off this page. Just my opinion, though.--Mike Selinker 23:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These all still need to be deleted (I have tagged all of them now.)

  • Note: there is a deletion review on for this category, which was created just as I created this CfD. If I have made a procedural error, I request an editor experienced on CfD procedure to correct it. Rama's arrow 16:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep deleted,Infact there is nothing like Hindu Politician.Although there are hindu politicians they are not recognised as such.They may however be listed like Brahman Politician,Dalit Politician etc.Because the criteria here is notability.Such categories which does not exist in reality are hardly notable.HW 17:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • NoteReligion based politics/icians are not notable?Bakaman Bakatalk 17:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment:There are two separate discussions running here as pointed above by Rama's Arrow. Can somebody with knowledge of policy, correct this and bring the discussion to a single page please -- Lost(talk) 17:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Extremely strong Keep, Bottom line is that is there are categories for Muslim politicians, Jewish politicians etc there should be a category for Hindu politicians also. Plus, to say that there is "no such thing as a Hindu politician" is completely false. There are many politicians in India and in other countries who are both of the Hindu faith as well as who campaign for issues that are pertinent and relevant to all Hindus regardless of sub-denomination. Members of the previouss center-right coalition govt, as well as members of various parties such as BJP definitely come under the category of Hindu politician.Shiva's Trident 18:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I do not know why there is another CfD when a previous CfD had reached consensus to delete. My main reason for delete is that this category's main purpose is to divide on basis of religious lines and thus insert POV into wikipedia. Look at the reasons above. - "Members of the previouss center-right coalition govt, as well as members of various parties such as BJP definitely come under the category of Hindu politician". Does that mean that the others are not Hindu politicians? Who is going to check if all entries are correct. Previously the people like Maneka Gandhi and Sangma were tagged as Hindu politicians. Quoting Hornplease from the previous CfD "If we leave this in, someone will go around randomly adding Indian politicians to the category, completing diluting the information value of the categories on pages with not much other information". - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)Changed to no vote per my discussion with Bakasuprman.-Aksi_great (talk - review me) 14:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Wow!Now that's what I call twisting my words to serve an agenda! I never implied exclusivity to the NDA (center right coalition) in my last post. Simply a notable example.Plus, the same reasoning as yours applies to the Muslim politicians sections too.Why aren't you bothering them there? Afriad of getting shot at? If somebody goes around "randomly adding politicians into the category" then another will "randomly" question their addition in the talk page, discussion will "randomly" ensue, a "random" consensus will be reached, maybe with a few admins hanging around to make sure everything's nice and kosher and then, quite "randomly", unmeritorious additions will be REMOVED. THAT'S HOW WIKIPEDIA WORKS!!!!! Anyone can randomly add anything anywhere. That's not a legitimate pretext to demand removal.Statement retracted in light of Aksi's new stand regarding this travesty.Shiva's Trident 20:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Hindu politicians are not just restricted to India. There are many in countries like Fiji, USA or United Kingdom.nids(♂) 18:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, look at the first line of the category - "They may or may not be associated with Hindutva or the Sangh Parivar.". There should be no need to mention this if it was just another categorising like Muslim politicians or Christian politicians. - Aksi_great (talk - review me) 18:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note sentence removed. Why only deleting the Hindu cat? Bakaman Bakatalk 18:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Aksi - we only need to invoke the policy of verifiability to take care of the last reason (the one attributed to Hornplease). For the benefit of others, other deletion debates for religion based categories may be found here -- Lost(talk) 18:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Thats not really a good reason to vote delete. Its quite easy for you to add them if you so wish.Bakaman Bakatalk 02:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This is what I wrote on the deletion review page: I voted to delete earlier. But it appears that consistency suggests that this cat must exist, although I continue to think that all religion based cats are unencyclopaedic unless religion directly impacts what the person is notable for. (So "Christian philosopher" is automatically acceptable, but "Christian athlete" is not, unless the athlete in question is notable as an evangelical or his religion itself has received public attention.) Further, the last time the cat was appearing randomly on various cats - such as Indira Gandhi, without citation. As I mentioned that time, on what basis do we classify someone as Hindu? Being born Hindu is not enough. I raised the issue of Bal Thackeray, who proclaimed atheism after his wife died. But does that mean he is no longer Hindu? Nehru was an outspoken atheist, and we have no idea what Indira and Rajiv believe. What about communists like Jyoti Basu? This cat will be simply meaningless. All religion based cats have this problem, but Hinduism, because of its unique structure, poses a particular problem. So I suppose my vote is delete.Hornplease 06:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note - Why the discrimination? No major commies have been added, neither have any of the Gandhi's or Nehru seeing as they were probably Muslim.Bakaman Bakatalk 02:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep:It would be discriminatory to delete this category on account of the fact that the same ambiguities apply to all other religious categories but they will not be deleted. Hindu politicians means those politicians who speak for Hindus as a people, so communists like Basu, Karat etc do not count into the category. Thackeray should not ,ideally, count either, nor do Gandhu, Nehru etc since neither of them spoke for the Hindu point of view.Hkelkar 23:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am even more concerned after the last two comments. The first comment is beneath notice, but Kelkar's comment reveals (a) some people mnay have missed the point that Hinduism, as it is more pliable than practically any other religion in terms of what one may believe and still proclaim that one is a Hindu, raises unique questions of ambiguity and (b) "speaking for Hindus as a people" is a particularly difficult categorisation, and if that is what is meant, the title of the cat should reflect it. Note that that interpretation clashes with what Subhash Bose, writing as Shiva's Trident, says above. Hornplease 05:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:DC Animated Universe characters edit

Merge into Category:DC animated characters, an existing subcat of Category:DC animated universe. -- ProveIt (talk) 13:37, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Rename one of those--The Judge 13:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "DC Animated Universe charactes" category contains all DC Comics characters appearing in the DCAU (the TV series and movies created by the production team of Bruce Timm and Paul Dini, while Category:DC animated characters contains only the DC characters *created* in *any* animated TV series (Filmation, Hannah-Barbera, Bruce Timm, Jeff Matzuda, etc.). Some of the last category have been already adapted to the current continuity comics, but not all of them. However, I was never sure about the name of the category, maybe it should be moved to something like "Characters appearing in the DC Animated Universe"... but then again, I ignore how would it affect the artcles linking to the category with its current name.--The Judge 13:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The merge probably shouldn't happen as nominated. The DCAU is separate from, say, Teen Titans (TV series) so merging them together destroys the encyclopedic value of the category. I'm not sure the encyclopedic value is all that high, but it's definitely different.--Mike Selinker 15:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Teen Titans continuity is somewhat tied to DCAU's so there is not much problem there. The problem, however is that the Filmation, Hannah-Barbera and Jeff Matzuda aren't so merging them together would destroy the encyclopedic value of the category as you said. --The Judge 21:27, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm unfamilier with the subject, and happy to go along with any consensus... -- ProveIt (talk) 22:13, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I created the category, but if I could, now that it's still soon enough (meaning there is not much people involved with the category yet), I'd move it to "Characters appearing in the DC Animated Universe", since that's more appropiate for the porpouse of the category, wich is to list all articles about characters created by DC Comics that also appear in the series and movies created by Bruce Timm.--The Judge 05:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion: Have the "DC Animated Universe characters" category (including only characters from the Dini-Timm series) as a subcat of "DC animated characters" (including characters from series such as Teen Titans and Superfriends). Perhaps rename to make the distinction clearer. -- Supermorff 19:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, DC animated characters is only for characters created in animation. DC animatd universe characters is for ALL characters apeariing in the universe created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini.--The Judge 00:25, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, then forget that suggestion. I've attempted to make that distinction clearer with an introductory paragraph to the "animated characters" cat. It does raise the question of what to do with the "Category:Teen Titans animated series characters", which technically doesn't belong as a subcat of either and yet is a subcat of both. "animated characters", as you've described, also no longer belongs as a subcat of "Cat:DC animated universe". -- Supermorff 10:10, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all -Doc 16:19, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all, irrelevant to the central purpose of Wikipedia and the reason categories were created in the first place. --Cyde Weys 16:36, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Guys, you know there's no way we're deleting just the rugby categories.--Mike Selinker 18:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all per nom. --Cswrye 19:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose unless the national team categories are amended The current proposal defines people as supporters of the national rugby unions, ie the governing bodies. I doubt this is true in many cases. It should be Category:Wikipedian Australia national rugby union team fans etc. Wimstead 21:14, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I amended the nomination to reflect this.--Mike Selinker 00:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per amended nomination. Blarneytherinosaur 08:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all per nom. Cyde, if you disagree with the entire concept of User categories, create a discussion about it. If the result of the discussion is that they are to be deleted, so be it. If Wikipedia overall disagrees with you, they will be kept. However, the way to get your point across is not to spam each CfD with your own ideas. — Dark Shikari talk/contribs 23:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename/merge as nominated --Kbdank71 16:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Catholic Churches in Washington, D.C. to Category:Roman Catholic churches in Washington, D.C.

  • Rename, (1) To be consistent with higher level categories. (2) "Roman Catholic" avoids ambiguity (other churches claim to be "catholic") & (3) "Churches" should be lower case --dm (talk) 05:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom, and I'm surprised that Wikipedia has no coverage of George Stallings. --Dhartung | Talk 13:09, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 14:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This rename is a violation of WP naming conventions and policy. Please see User:Vaquero100/CC vs. RCC for a thorough presentation. Vaquero100 17:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose (1) "Catholic Church" directs to the article describing the organization to which these congregations belong, so it is already consistent. (2) It is already unambiguous, as there are no other churches having the name "Catholic Church". SynKobiety 17:40, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename Abstain There is a current debate underway at Talk:Roman Catholic Church whether to change the name. While I support consistency throughout wikipedia, I'd urge editors to NOT move pages while this discussion is on going. I've proposed a freeze on wikipedia in regards to changing the name (either from RCC to CC or vice versa). While I can't expect everyone to know I've proposed that, nor can I expect people to do what I say, I still think we should wait out for the main discussion to have some sort of closure before bringing this debate out into every other catholic subpage. Update I've decided to change my vote from abstain to Rename, per Gimmetrow's reasoning, and the likihood of voting on every single page seems more plausable than reaching a consensus policy.--Andrew c 17:42, 3 September 2006 (UTC); 14:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above. Kylef81 17:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above. --Leinad ¬   »saudações! 18:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename - for points (1) and (3) of nom; the category should be changed for consistency with other categories in the hierarchy. However point (2), the notion of simply changing because "RC avoids ambiguity" is being debated in general, as Andrew c mentions. Gimmetrow 23:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose as per Wikipedia:Naming conventions

  • Oppose 2nd Piston Honda 11:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename in line with Category:Roman Catholic churches in the United States and its 19 other subcategories. Olborne 09:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as per naming convention. The opposition to renaming has a whiff of POV, ie it may reflect a Roman Catholic rejection of the claims of all other churches to the status of Catholic. Whether or not this is true of the people voting oppose, Wikipedia must be seen to be neutral. Choalbaton 13:47, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename for clarity. Wimstead 17:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename as per most of the relevant hierarchy of categories. Merchbow 22:09, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
