February 4

"Oceanic" categories

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was rename as nominated. Syrthiss 14:50, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I've noticed a couple of categories dealing with Oceania incorrectly using "Oceanic" as the adjectival form. Oceanic is the adjectival form of "ocean". The adjectival form of Oceania is "Oceanian". To put it another way, Iceland is an Oceanic country, but it is not Oceanian.

Depending upon the naming conventions, the latter one might be better as Template:Cl Grutness...wha? 23:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Rename all as proporsed. Prevailing format for countries is Fooian countries. - choster 15:38, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:Failed Apple initiatives

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus. Syrthiss 14:36, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I think this category is questionable based on the discussion pages of articles included in it. There's a lot of argument over POV in what constitutes "failure", degrees of failure, and reasons why Apple should be singled out for such a category. Recommend complete removal unless a less controversial category name is proposed. MFNickster 20:05, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Support to lose the of America. However I'd like to see something more specific like Category:Retail markets in the United States. Vegaswikian 20:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
    • That's not a bad idea, but it may be better to hold off on the second part until we can better address the entire markets category. Right now it's a mix of financial markets and shopping markets. - EurekaLott 20:14, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Rename per nom, though I doubt many Ukrainians would get lost ;) Grutness...wha? 00:24, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename as above. Not so hot on the "under six feet" naming convention. Sounds like a category about deceased NBA players. I'd prefer it if it was renamed National Basketball Association players under six feet tall (hahaha, the UK!! ..Ukrainians!!) Downwards 04:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Category:Roman era books

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was see below. Syrthiss 13:59, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete as redundant with Category:Latin literature. "Roman era" isn't used in classical philology or history to denote an era; if one wants to subcategorize by time frame, well-defined current terms like "early republic", "late republic", "Julio-Claudean" etc should be used. Pilatus 16:55, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn. See next section below instead. Apologies for not checking categorization thoroughly. Pilatus 21:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was rename as nominated, add latin lit to ancient rome. also, see note.. Syrthiss 14:04, 12 February 2006 (UTC)


Category:Roman era books and Category:Roman era writers are both subcategories of Category:Latin literature. We are classifying by language and cultural background of the authors here, not by timeframe (and what is "Roman era" supposed to mean?), so Latin texts and Latin authors is the appropiate way of putting it. It would also be consistent with the categories in Category:Ancient Greek literature. Also cleanup per Choster. Pilatus 21:43, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Category:Latin literature must be made a subcat of Category:Ancient Rome per CalJW above. Pilatus 05:28, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Agree Old cat name is ambiguous: when exactly does Wikipedia say is the "Roman era". Would Justinian agree? While Rome stands, it is still the Roman era in some people's view. Carlossuarez46 00:06, 7 February 2006 (UTC)


Note from closing admin - This seems like the best choice. I looked at Choster's suggestion of Ancient Latin literature, and thought about putting a cat redirect there to Latin literature...but since Ancient Greek literature and Ancient Egyptian literature don't exist in any one category together (so no need for consistency with them) AND there are modern texts in greek and egyptian but not in latin then the ancient would be redundant. --Syrthiss 14:04, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete, and nom that template for deletion. Syrthiss 13:41, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Pointless forks of the existing "need cleanup" and "need verification" cats; whether something is "urgent" or "priority" is entirely POV and not a useful distinction. >Radiant< 12:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I would have appreciated if you'd talked to me first but, sure, delete it since it has largely been superceded by WP:PROD. The idea behind the "urgent" label was that the articles would be nominated for deletion soon if no verification showed up to give the author a grace period beyond the 5 days of shooting on AfD. I was using Template:Needs-verification to put articles into this category but it didn't really catch on and once your PROD proposal showed up I decided not to pursue it further. You may as well delete the template too. - Haukur 13:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

All of these players have now been more specifically categorized by NFL Europe team in Category:NFL Europe players, a la Category:National Football League players. So this ubercategory should be deleted.--Mike Selinker 09:32, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Actually, you forgot to move Martin Dossett, but I took care of him. Now all 46 members of the candidate are also categoriezed under at least one team. (I love Cat Scan) ×Meegs 12:22, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete as too vague as formulated. Indeed, Bunnyman, the first entry, makes no mention of the Post at all; Watergate scandal, the second, of course involves the Post but I do not find utility in categorizing events by which news media outlet was the first to publicize them. choster 07:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
