Nominator's rationale: Very few incidents are caused by fog but there are ones involving fog. This was discussed at a WikiProject talk page here

Support - fog is a factor in accidents but not itself a cause.

not sure Ice was a factor in many accidents as well, but if you read the articles, the "cause" is often "pilot error" or "inadequate maintenance" or other things like that. If we rename this one, we should rename all of them to be "involving".--

I guess the question is how do we clearly state the purpose of the category.
Category:Airliner accidents and incidents where fog was a factor is probably the most clear statement but is it too long and is this really what the purpose of the category is? I'm not convinced that a decision here would affect other related categories. This could lead to a one by one review, but most will probably not change, at least in my opinion.

Comment. Many accidents/incidents involve many contributory factors (mechanical failure, crew error, weather, poor design etc) and categorization shouldn't be used to list all the factors that may have contributed. Thus, if we have "involving" in a category name there should be category text defining the degree of involvement needed for inclusion in the category.

Question Are "factors" typically stated in FAA reports (for the US) and/or comparable reports for other countries? If so, we could require this category to contain just incidents that are reported as having a fog factor. If not, I have no comment.

Nominator's rationale: unnecessary capitalization / consistent with others

Comment "County Judge" is the title of the head county executive in Texas counties. Perhaps
Category:County Judges in Texas to match naming conventions, but to also preserve the proper capitalization of the title. —

The capitalization of "judge" in that context only occurs when it refers to a particular person :"County Judge John Smith." In this context, no capitalization is the correct form.

Comment I think there should be two categories for Kentucky. County judge was an office until a major constitutional revision in 1975 which created a new office,
County Judge/Executive, which is unique to Kentucky. County judge, as I understand, was a judicial office, but the county judge/executive is an executive office with little or no judicial authority. Some details
here.

I agree, and I am working on making the distinction clear between judicial "county judges" and executive "county judges."
Greg Bard (
talk) 15:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)reply
Great. If I can be of assistance, you know where to find me. The constitutional revision was before my time, but I should have access to plenty of resources on it.

The peculiarities of the nomenclature in Kentucky are similar to the situation that led to the Tennessee category being named
Category:Heads of county government in Tennessee. (Tennessee used to call these people county judges, then started calling them county executives in some counties and county mayors in others, and now -- by decree of the state legislature -- has county mayors in all counties, except a couple that managed to be get the legislature to let them continue to have county executives.) --
Orlady (

Support except for Kentucky. Looks like a simple issue of correcting the naming for LA, NJ, OR, and TX. The issue Acdixon raises makes me think that it's a unique case that shouldn't be resolved here. Let's make a "no consensus" decision on Kentucky and immediately create a new CFD in which we could discuss whether to rename, split, keep, or something else.
Nyttend (

Comment - If anything, we should revert to the more general term, as there is no question that within the same state that calls the executive office "judges" or "mayor", they are still both "County executives." That is the way to resolve it, by using the more general term that applies to both, rather than a long named category with "x and y in state".
Greg Bard (
talk) 20:26, 21 March 2014 (UTC)reply
That's a proposal I can support.
Nyttend (
talk) 21:10, 21 March 2014 (UTC)reply
I'd also be fine with that. The name isn't really as important as the function. Kentucky would also need a "county judge" category for folks who held the (now defunct) judicial office, though.

Nominator's rationale:Upmerge. I don't see why everything in the nominated category can't simply sit in the parent category,
Category:Workers' Party of Korea. The parent category is not overly full or cluttered, and a category named after a party naturally contains articles and subcategories about the organization of that party. I can't find a parallel "Organization of PARTYX" example.
Good Ol’factory(talk) 01:18, 14 March 2014 (UTC)reply
Upmerge – the parent category has 1 article and 1 other subcat, so this is wholly redundant.
Oculi (

Upmerge, there is no need for this, unlike the Soviet one where the parent has lots of other content. –
FayenaticLondon 16:28, 15 March 2014 (UTC)reply
Upmerge unless someone can seriously show how this will ever be adequately populated. USSR was an enormous place, so that multiple categories may be useful.
