Speedy Deletion of Category:Battles of the War of 1812 (Northern Theaters)

edit

We already have Category:Battles of the War of 1812. I think that would be adequate Battlefield 13:39, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Delete. I'm not sure why this category was created, but the war along the U.S.-Canadian border was the main theatre of the war, and so almost all of the battles in the main category Category:Battles of the War of 1812 were in the northern theatre. This means that this category duplicates the main category, with the primary exception being the six actions of the Chesapeake campaign. The Chesapeake campaign could be put into its own sub-category, perhaps, but there's no reason for a sub-category for the northern theatre, which should be the "default" category. --Kevin Myers | (complaint dept.) 15:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

DELETE duplicate category not needed. SirIsaacBrock 21:13, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Empty this category first. enochlau (talk) 23:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Keep I created that category to gather articles more relivent to canadian military history for Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Canadian military history task force , please don't deleate it. if this is going to be deleated, please break battles down by campaings (i.e. lower canada, niagara frontier, northwest frontier, eastern seabord etc.) ...Mike McGregor (Can) 18:14, 2 February 2006 (UTC),

Comment - Each War of 1812 battle article has a campaign box built into the article, which provides internal wiki-links for battles of the campaigns. The last thing we need is to have numerous mini-categories. If you're interested in Canadian conflicts see List of conflicts in Canada this list is strong enough. In addition, it seems that "User:Mike McGregor (Can)" is the only one involved in the project he created. SirIsaacBrock 18:24, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
comment - The purpose of this category is to make navigation easier for any one who may not be as knowlagable as you are in military history (specifcly the war of 1812). The link you provided (as well as Category:Conflicts in Canada) also seems to omit battles that happened on the American side of the present border which have historical segnificance to Canada, as parts of wider campaings which did cross over into presentday Canada. Making the distinction between battles which happened inside canada and battles outside canada is somewaht baffiling when you consider that Canadian Military History pre-dates the boarders of Canada. As for me being the only member of the Canadian Military Task Force, It's a brand new project, give it some time (that, and I'm clearly not the only member, there's 2 of us). feel free to come over to Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history and take a look at the discussions around this. regarding the campaign boxes, you can't use them to navigate the subject if you can't find the right campaign.

note If this page is deleated, many of these articles will need to be put back into category:Battles of Canada and category:Conflicts in CanadaMike McGregor (Can) 19:14, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hello Mike McGregor (Can), if the cat is deleted, I suggest as the person that removed the cat tags you should put them back. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 20:02, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
Since there is a dispute, I think the appropriate course of action is to take it to Wikipedia:Categories for deletion, where all interested parties can make their feelings known. Seeing as the original claim was for redundancy, I was thinking that perhaps these could be moved back to where they were, and this category deleted for being empty, but that isn't appropriate anymore I don't think. enochlau (talk) 23:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

ADDED TO: Wikipedia:Categories for deletion Discuss Here SirIsaacBrock 23:26, 2 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. I think the list is missing one battle at least, that being The Battle of the Forty (naval battle fought just off of present-day Grimsby, Ontario). I only know the name of the British Commander, that being James Lucas Yeo. If anyone knows more... feel free!
