Nominator's rationale: There is no main article for this genre and the
section on it explicitly states how it's ill-defined. —

keep Although the style of the music genre within steampunk has remained infamously eclectic, the bands within that scene are clearly identified. It would be very difficult to write an article on "steampunk music", but it's very easy to define and source the categorization of "the musicians of steampunk".

Delete as not defined enough of a genre to categoize things in it.

Keep – has the nom not looked at the category in question? It contains a host of subcats, including one for singers, as one would expect. A singer is a musician and so is a guitarist. (And what became of the cluebats, who used to accompany Ten Pound Hammer?)
Oculi (

Keep. For the reasons explained by Oculi, the nomination is blatant nonsense. The subcategories include sub-genres of country music, and country musicians who play instruments other than their vocal cords. I hope that nominator will withdraw it. --

Then why not pare to only the subcategories? It seems redundant for a singer to be categorized as both "singer" and "musician" if their only instrument is the voice. And it's not like there are any musicians known for playing and instrument that a.) is not the voice and b.) doesn't already have its own category. Ten Pound Hammer • (

That's routine category maintenance, which should happen as a matter of course. A lack of diffusion is not grounds for deleting a container category. If you think there is a backlog of diffusion, then the good news is that
you got the job :) --

It's also part of
Category:Country musicians by nationality. I agree that most of the articles should not be at the top level, as in the other nationality subcats. (And weren't there otters as well? Hammer, otters, cluebats?
Clamshells??)

Nominator's rationale: Rename all. per convention to follow the Regional Municipality of Waterloo main article by using C2D. On the past speedy nominations. Most of the Ontario census divisions in categories was speedy renamed to follow the main article. There is no objection in the past speedy nominations. But recently three of the group categories in three census divisions in Ontario was oppose speedy. Forget about how many hits or views on the old categories this is to rename the categories to follow the main article on C2D with no objection since the speedy was opposed.

It may well be that those moves should have been challenged too. If these nominations are closed as "keep", I'll see whether any of the other should be nominated for moving back to the short names. --

No users are participating the discuss the three census division categories, BHG. Let's extended this discussion for another week until users have reached a consensus.
Steam5 (

Oppose The nominator is correct that the categories absolutely should match the article title, but in this case there is significant doubt that the article itself is properly named. While "Regional Municipality of X" is the legal and official name for regional upper tier municipalities in Ontario, the most common name is almost always "X Region" (and, in fact, the regional governments themselves, IIRC, use the shortened versions of their names). This, and the related, category renaming discussions should be held in abeyance, and the affected articles should all be made subject to one RM. The ultimate decision here would depend on how the RM for the articles goes. --
