Category:Southern District → Category:Southern District of Hong Kong

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 --Kbdank71 13:31, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

A category like "Eastern District" does not make much sense out of context. Also, I wonder about "North" vs. "Northern" for consistency, but it should probably reflect common usage even if inconsistent (I have no idea which is correct). --Tabor 21:40, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Rename No contention. siafu 22:32, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename Northern might be better, but do not oppose nom's suggestion. ∞Who?¿? 06:26, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: The official names are indeed Eastern, Southern, Central and Western, but North. :-) — Instantnood 13:08, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
Of course the one I choose is wrong :) ∞Who?¿? 13:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose unless disambiguation is necessary, which is not the case currently at the present moment. — Instantnood 10:01, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose unless prove is given that there's another district in the world with the official names "North District", "South District" etc. Deryck C. 12:09, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment erm...try typing "North District" etc in google and you will discover just how many places in the world uses that term.--Huaiwei 12:37, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Category:Rap

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 keep --Kbdank71 13:29, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Not my nomination; just fixing up a Template:Tl tag that was placed on the category page suggesting merge to Category:Hip hop--Tabor 20:52, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Unless something has changed, rap and hip-hop are not equivalent. siafu 22:31, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep agree with siafu, definately a different style and genre. I see that MakeRocketGoNow placed the merge tag, but did not start a discussion as to why, I'll invite them to this Cfr. ∞Who?¿? 06:30, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The Rap category was sparsely populated; everything was under Category:Hip hop, which I assumed was the preferred Category. I thought someone was sort of unnecessarily re-inventing the wheel. I invite others to determine whether an artist is rap or hip-hop because I sure couldn't tell you. I withdraw my merge tag. MakeRocketGoNow 18:51, July 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. People should use more specific categories if possible, but there's basically nothing wrong with this category. — Stevey7788 (talk) 06:03, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. The associated articles might need to be considered. Currently rap music redirects to hip hop music, while rap redirects to rapping. And the rapping article opens, "Rapping is one of the elements of hip hop and the distinguishing feature of hip hop music." I'm no expert in this area but some consistency and/or explanation might help. --Tabor 17:43, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment Good points, if not already resolved, I will view them but can not even begin to pretend I'm an expert on the matter. ∞Who?¿? 03:30, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
I reviewed the related articles, and am midly concerned about the redirects, but that can be dealt with in the near future. I removed MakeRocketGoNows merge tag, as it was mutually withdrawn, and added this cat to Category:Hip hop. I gained my reasoning from the hip hop article, and added a desc text for source. Please take a moment to view these changes and comment. Thanks. ∞Who?¿? 03:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

One article. Dup of Category:United States musicians Cfd notice added on July 2 by User:Paul foord. --Kbdank71 14:54, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge the one article to that cat, then delete. -Splash 15:37, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge per nom, but suggest Category:Musicians of the United States. siafu 18:14, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
  • What about singers? Maurreen 07:50, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I would normally immediately suggest merge, but I had to see what the reasoning was, as it was created farily recently by TUF-KAT. Evidentally works on Wikipedia:WikiProject World music, and I think there either may be more to it, or just didn't do enough research on the current category structure. Will invite them to this CFR. ∞Who?¿? 06:40, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge to American musicians and delete Category:United States musicians. "United States" is not an adjective. Googling "american musician" receives 89,000 hits. Googling "United States musician" gets 554, many of which appear to be derived from this site's own use of that awkward phrase. Postdlf 08:08, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/delete per KBdank. Categorize by the country (United States), not the continent (America). Radiant_>|< 14:56, July 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • See above comments under Category:United States painters; the premises of your comment are incorrect. Postdlf 17:45, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
    • See also the CIA World Factbook table of the correct adjectives and nouns to use in referring to nationality.[1] Anyone have any contrary evidence? Postdlf 18:10, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm on a wikivacation right now, and don't have anything to add. It doesn't really matter to me which one is used. Tuf-Kat 23:13, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

Almost every actress has worn a wig at some point, so you'd have to add almost every actress. What's the point of that, and who cares who's wearing wigs? ♥purplefeltangel 02:05, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

We've already gotten rid of categories like "Terrorists" itself, "Left-wing terrorists", etc. The consensus was clear that the issue was about the word "Terrorists". Now this. -- 01:50, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Jmabel | Talk 01:50, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete w/o question. It's midly concerning that it's cat'd under Category:Peruvian people by occupation. Terrorism an occupation? My guidance counselor was way off. ∞Who?¿? 03:55, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
