March 8

Category:UK Pensions to Category:Pensions in the United Kingdom

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. -- TexasAndroid 14:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Rename to remove the abbreviation and put into a more standard style. Carina22 15:55, 8 March 2006 (UTC).

  • Undecided: proposed change sounds wise, but there are no "Pensions in XXXcountry"-style categories. There is a category Category:Retirement in Canada, and the parent category is "Retirement", so would "Retirement in The United Kingdom" not be a better name? BrownHairedGirl
  • Rename as proposed. Retirement is not just about pensions, but for the major English speaking countries at least there should be enough articles about pensions to justify a category. CalJW 15:10, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename. To me, "UK Pensions" suggests a category populated only by different types of pension available to UK citizens, whereas the category as it presently stands also contains articles relating to pensions in the UK. David Kernow 16:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Rename per nominator. -- Reinyday, 20:02, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Match template name. There was an existing CfR on the page for another name last month (and a mess of template redirects near that date that were just cleaned up today), and it must have dropped off the screen without removal by the closer. --William Allen Simpson 14:40, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Oppose Is the proposed name grammatical? I'm not sure, but it doesn't sound right. Perhaps the last word should be pluralised. Carina22 15:55, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
    • You are correct, the other such related categories (languages, names, spellings, etc.) are all plural. I've updated the request to match. --William Allen Simpson 13:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment : Seems tricky to concoct a name for this category that is brief yet sufficiently informative. How about Category:Redirects due to capitalisation...?  David Kernow 11:42, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
All the other related categories are "Redirects from" (having been renamed last year), and this is the only remaining category that hasn't been fixed. The word "alternative" was rejected on the others because of negative connotations. The whole point is to match the template. --William Allen Simpson 13:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Ahh, okay. In that case:

Category:Comedy novels to Category:Comic novels

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 consensus for rename, but no consensus on *what* to rename to...so keep unless you contact me with a final decision. Syrthiss 15:13, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The existing title is awkward, odd, and non-standard, the standard term being "comic novel". Category:Comedy books should also be changed to Category:Comic novels, except that there's an obvious ambiguity; perhaps Category:Humorous books? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

undecided - I can see the need I just don't like the ambiguity issue. The Comic Novel sounds just so like a modern "Graphic novel" or a "Comic" i.e. lightweight. Still I know that the term you propose is the normal one. so consider this a neutral vote. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 13:17, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Also I have added a heading that uses the normal "Novels" appendage that I think is again more normal and better. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 13:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Rename: the ambiguity that User:Kevinalewis mentions is inherent in the language; that's just what humourous novels are called. --Saforrest 14:54, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Rename to Category:Comedic novels; Category:Comedic books. Surely that works? The Tom 23:11, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Proposing change for consistency with other clubs that have multiple sports. Real Madrid now has a category for its basketball players at Category:Real Madrid basketball players (FYI: I created it). I also created a category for FC Barcelona's basketball players at Category:FC Barcelona basketball players, and the footballers' category for Barça has always been at Category:FC Barcelona footballers. — Dale Arnett 08:27, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

It's too early to predict just who exactly will run for President in 2008 (as none of the subjects in the cat have stated an ambition to run), and according to WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.
