Nominator's rationale: Per main article. This article about the flash animation. JJ98 (
Talk) 22:13, 12 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Oppose, I think the main article is not strictly accurate. The category is for cartoons made with flash, not everything flash animation related (which I think is covered by
Category:Adobe Flash). jorgenev 01:33, 13 June 2011 (UTC)reply
How do you decide what is a "cartoon" as a sub-set of animation? This seems to be introducing a distinction that does not exist. What is the criteria for something being a cartoon?

Category:Warfare of the Modern era

deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was:Rename to
Category:Warfare post 1945, reconsider deletion separately if necessary. This is a tricky one with little support for the current title, no clear consensus on deletion and the title above seems to cover the various concers.
Timrollpickering (

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Historians' understanding of the 'Modern era' - and our well sourced
Modern era article, date the modern era starting around 1500 - 1600. This category says it begins from 1945, reflecting a very limited understanding of history. Category would probably need to be renamed 'Warfare of the Twentieth Century.'
Perhaps this could be renamed to something along the lines of "Warfare of the Atomic Age"? If I recall the original discussions about this set of categories correctly, the intent was to allow a division of 20th-century warfare into pre-nuclear and post-nuclear, so as to better document the shift from total to limited warfare as a consequence of the availability of nuclear weapons.
Kirill[talk][prof] 22:10, 12 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Well, that is a possible alternative until a new more destructive weapon is developed. My problem with a change to labeling conflicts like this is how many nuclear wars have actually been fought? So the title is problematic. The coldwar could be included, but how about all of the uprisings and non conventional actions or the chemical weapons usage or the huge number of conventional conflicts? Atomic is not really the best title.

'Warfare of the post-Hiroshima age'?
Buckshot06(talk) 19:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Rename to 'Warfare post 1945' as per Hugo999. Following the discussion, this is perhaps the clearest of the available alternatives, and of course will then require the mil units and formations cats to change as well. Kind regards to all,
Buckshot06(talk) 03:39, 18 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Delete. The notion of a major shift in warfare in 1945 ignores the Spanish Civil War and a litany of other conflicts fought during the first half of the 20th century. Most wars before 1945 were fought on a limited basis, World War I and World War II being the exceptions. This really boils down to an arbitrary line category, and so should be delted.

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Single-item category with little likelihood of growth. The sole article is already in a Clockwork Orange category. Delete per [{WP:OC#SMALL]]. No prejudice to re-creation should there suddenly appear a number of Burgess character articles but for now it isn't needed.
Harley Hudson (

Delete. I happened to notice that
Enderby (fictional character) was in it the other day, but that has just been deleted; I might have tried to rescue it if I'd noticed the PROD (titular subject of 4 novels after all, see
Enderby#Other). However, two members wouldn't justify keeping this category anyway. -

Nominator's rationale: Almost all "Formula One companies" are either competitors or engine suppliers, for which there are already categories. The only company which has Formula One as its primary business, and is not covered by another category, is the F1 Group, making a category with no real use.

Comment there are other companies as well... like fuel suppliers, gear box suppliers, timing suppliers, tyre suppliers, F1 race contract holders, F1 circuit companies etc....

F1 circuits, and by extension their operators/promoters, are already covered by
Category:Formula One circuits, while other technical partners and suppliers are not exclusively "Formula One companies", as the category infers.

Timrollpickering (
talk) 13:43, 30 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Delete or Rename - the category as currently conceived is for people who "competed, guest starred, or were otherwise involved in" the TV series. This is
overcategorization of performer by performance. In the absence of the participants' articles there are nine articles remaining, including two bare lists of fights that should either be deleted as redundant or merged. Seven articles is insufficient for a category where the contents are all linked through the TV series article. The category is likely to continue to draw articles about the people involved, making for burdonsome maintenance. If this is kept, the category needs to be cleared out and repurposed, preferably with a note advising that individual people shouldn't be placed in it.
Harley Hudson (

This rationale for deletion sounds fine to me. So fine, in fact, that it reminds me of someone. (I feel like Darth Vader when he first senses Obi Wan's presence in the Death Star in Episode IV ...).
Good Ol’factory(talk) 21:44, 12 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Rename but repurpose and depopulate, keeping only the articles with names beginning "The Contender". -
Fayenatic(talk) 20:36, 13 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Delete. Fayenatic's plan does not work. Categories are not supposed to be used as substitutes for disambiguation pages. Things are supposed to be categorized by their traits, not their names.

That injunction talks about not moving article pages, but I don't see anything that indicates that it extends to categories or other non-article pages. The point is also to avoid edit wars, not to prevent decisions for renaming to be made by consensus. Since categories typically are not moved without consensus, I don't see the injunction as being very relevant to any proposal made here.
