- Suggest merging
Category:Prussian people to
Category:People from Prussia
- Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories, and the 2nd one (People from Prussia) seems to have been decided on in a previous debate over where to merge the "German natives of [foo]" categories into. It's also a bit more neutral because it's often contentious whether someone who lived in the former Prussia was "Prussian" as a nationality, but whether they were from the territory of the state of Prussia is merely a fact.

- comment as each sub-universe involves a new fictional universe with different fictional histories, but some common themes, merging all into one would be unwieldy. They also do not interlink, or inter-reference between universes. (ie. each timeline is a reimagining, or more extreme sort of unrelated reuse of some elements, of the concept)

- Nominator's rationale: Delete as
categorisation by name. This categ only contains only one item, the category
Category:Ontario county roads. The category text says that it is intended also to contain similar categories in the United States. Many countries have a similar system of lesser roads which are managed by local authorities rather than by a central govt agency, but difft jurisdictions use difft names to describe this sort of road. There may perhaps be a case for a series of transnational roads-by-what-authority-manages-them (although I doubt it), but if so the categories should be named in some generic fashion, not by the terminology used in some jurisdictions.

Olessi 18:05, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
reply
- Delete for now. This should be taken up with a larger discussion of how to classify people from geographical/administrative units whose borders have changed. For now, it seems that the people in this category were born while there was such a place, although one was a toddler when it went away. This province for a while was controlled by larger entities
Prussia notably, so these people are similarly "from Prussia". Ultimately, I don't think these are all that useful in the context of Germany where borders shifted and one could be "from" many different entities and never leave home - also using transitory geography for "from" categories can lead to POV issues - as anyone of these people in this category who was alive in 1933-45 could also be "from
Nazi Germany" a category we probably don't need created.
Carlossuarez46 02:41, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
reply
- Rename per nom. Disagree thouroughly with Carlossuarez46 on this, as a place does not go away—it would violate conservation laws! As a former historical region or entity, there are quite a few articles citing the history of such places, — and notable people from that time frame have biographies. Deleting the category would break precedent with a lot of organization of historical articles extant today.
Renaming to match the main article for the category is quite precedented and safe however. //

reply
- Sure, they should all be deleted. Lists of radio stations by state are being actively maintained and categorized, these city and market based categories aren't and they are incomplete as a result--
Rtphokie 21:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
reply
- Keep - Categories and templates aren't mutually exclusive. It is the current standard for radio stations to be present in a singular geographic category, which is city-specific in large metropolitan areas (not per policy but by precedent). These categories prove to be especially important in radio station-intensive states such as Texas and California. As there are 50+ stations currently residing in this category, Philadelphia is clearly a radio station-intensive area.
JPG-GR 08:25, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
reply
- Keep per JPG-GR and fact that stations go out of business, but will still have historic articles; admittedly they could be grouped in a "out of business" cat of some sort, that would be over-categorizing, as the station call letters are held off the "market" for a long while by the FCC, hence, the template and cat serve different collection purposes. Buying the noms argument is a dangerous precedent, imho. Templates link —categories classify, albeit with linking. //

Eponymous overcategorisation for a television series. Per precedent, eponymous TV categories are not needed when they include only 'characters' and 'episodes' subcategories, the main article, a list of episodes, a list of characters/cast members, and a navigational template. The articles are more than adequately interlinked by the template alone. The other two members are either already otherwise categorised (
Fawlty Towers (hotel) appears in
Category:Fictional hotels and is linked via
Template:Fawltytowers) or miscategorised (
Wooburn Grange Country Club is a real location where the series was filmed, so placing it in this category is overcategorisation of the form 'location by performance'). –

- Nominator's rationale: The current content does not justify a distinct category. The category's sole member (
Corner Gas) is actually miscategorised; the subject of the article is a real television sitcom, not a fictional gas station, and is already otherwise categorised. In general, it's unlikely that a gas station that exists solely in a work of fiction will be
notable, especially since real-life gas stations only rarely are. –

- Propose merging
Category:Planets located at the center of the universe into
Category:Fictional planets
- Nominator's rationale: I don't think that we should categorise on the basis of claimed location at the centre of the universe. Different works of fiction have different conceptions of the universe and
space-time, and sometimes even assume the existence of multiple universes. If kept, rename to
Category:Fictional planets located at the center of the universe, to clarify that these are planets that exist solely in works of fiction, or something similar (is there a phrase that succinctly captures the meaning of the phrase 'located at the center of the universe'?). –

- Merge - Considering that there is no such thing as the "center of the universe", if we were to keep this category it would have to be renamed to something like
Category:Fictional planets located at the supposed center of the universe. Besides, there are only 3 articles about such imaginary planets, so it doesn't pass the size test either.

- Propose renaming
Category:Magic Schools to
Category:Fictional magic schools
- Nominator's rationale: I think that there may be value in preserving a distinction between fictional 'magic' schools and other types of fictional schools, the category title needs to make clear that this is about schools that exists only inside works of fiction. The current title includes real places that teach
magic (illusion) as well as those that claim to teach
magic (paranormal). –

- Comment as a heirarchy, the category is fine, but the nom. didn't suggest way of handling the well populated sub-category of Cast members
2) Since the category is indubitably recognizable in the parent, English children's TV shows, and it is quite possible this one can and will have episode articles that would then have no place to go in a category, I say let the status quo ante stand for another year or so. If still empty then, then delete.
Further, the main article is under the scope of
Four TV wikiprojects , indicating likelihood of added material going forward.
