deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was:rename to
Category:Underwater diving sites; "locations" was offered as an alternative to "sites", but there was more support for use of the latter. – Black Falcon(
Talk) 04:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Keep. Many of these are defined by having been notable dive sites. Now, if we can clean the category to remove the counties and other broad areas.
Vegaswikian (

Keep per Vegas, and Rename to
Category:Underwater diving sites per Otto below. The AfD nomination linked by the nominator appears already to have lost the project some useful information, as the sites were not in fact (and why not?) merged or listified. How else would many of these articles, like
Blue Hole (Red Sea) be classified? Badly mistaken nomination.

Delete why are we categorizing places by what happens there? Next we'll have skydiving sites, hockey sites, basketball sites, couch potatoing sites, love-making sites.... etc...

Keep per Vegas. It seems perfectly reasonable to categorise
Portsea Hole (say) as a Dive site.
Carminis (
talk) 22:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)reply
To anyone who's ever waited tables, "dive sites" sounds like it ought to include "DewDropInn.com". Please rename to
Category:Diving locations or something better if kept. —
CharlotteWebb 17:29, 13 February 2008 (UTC)reply
I see. Had I noticed the parent category, I probably would have suggested "
Category:Underwater diving locations" but obviously any of these choices is better than the status quo. —

The result of the discussion was:article-ify to
Great American God-Out. Listing for deletion is left to editorial discretion. – Black Falcon(
Talk) 05:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale: Category contains only one article, already included in a larger atheism category, and a good deal of text, some of which might qualify as a separate article, but almost all of which is certainly at best unnecessary for the category itself.
John Carter (

Article-ify and delete - Clearly intended to be an article, not a category, by an editor who didn't know the difference. It's a plausible article topic, if not a reasonable category (unnecessary eponymous category for an event, and categorizing people or organizations or things by their relationship to this event would be overcategorization). --

Delete per Lq. I'd say articlify, but it doesn't seem notable to me.
Johnbod (
talk) 21:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Delete and article-ify per Lquilter. I'm undecided on notability, perhaps it is appropriate to turn it into an article and then list at AFD? --
BelovedFreak 18:21, 11 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Delete and article-ify per Lquilter. It seems marginally notable - plenty of google mentions but I couldn't find anything substantial.

The result of the discussion was:no consensus.Conscious (
talk) 08:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale:Delete - nominated
once previously as a then-single item category. It was populated but it's still overcategorization by award. A complete list of winners of the various awards that have been presented under the name African Footballer of the Year exists at
African Footballer of the Year. Similar categories for
Asian footballers and
Scottish footballers were deleted.
Otto4711 (
talk) 18:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Delete both - As applied to players, this is overcategorization by award; these players have numerous affiliations and awards already. The article is kinda pretty. --
Lquilter (
talk) 20:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Agree we should consider the European category with this one. I'm not sure if FIFA is exactly parallel? --
Lquilter (
talk) 22:13, 10 February 2008 (UTC)reply
I have added the European category to the nomination. A complete list exists at
Ballon d'Or.
Otto4711 (
talk) 22:49, 10 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Keep both as major awards for footballers to win as individuals (as opposed to championships etc won with a club). Consensus last time was to keep and rename, and nothing has happened in the meantime to make me think that this is overcat by award.
BencherliteTalk 00:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Keep both per Bencherlite (to clarify my position above). (I agree that the FIFA one is not parallel.)

Talk) 04:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale:Rename. (1) Pashtun Mafia is highly offensive. Pashtun Mafia implies that Pashtuns are all criminals. (2) Pashtun Mafia is used on google seven times less frequently than Opium Mafia. It is best to remove ethnicity from this.
Kingturtle (

Keep per Otto. I think the name of the main article should be controlling here.
Snocrates 20:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Keep to match main article, which should probably be renamed.

Keep/Don't rename per Otto, I don't think that the name implies that all Pashtuns are criminals. That's not the impression I get, anyway. Keep for consistency with main article. --

Keep without renaming per Otto.

Talk) 04:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)reply
Nominator's rationale:Rename. Current name is ambiguous given all of the places with this name. In addition this matches the main article and
Category:San Jose, California. Current sub cats use a mix of the two, this nomination would unify the subcats.
Vegaswikian (
