Category:Arts

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 merge as nominated --Kbdank71 15:23, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arts → Category:Fine arts . This whole Art vs. Arts nomenclature is irritating for the user. Clearly, "Arts" should be "Fine arts". I will do all the updates in the pages and cats that are needed (and there are a lot of them). -- Fplay 23:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This was done as a DELETE!!! Art vs. Arts never worked well. We should also kill "Category:Arts" in the Commons area and anywhere else that it has proliferated. The rec-catting of pages and other cats has already been effectively accomplished in a very unilateral way. The collaboration/committee approach would never have gotten this one sorted out. For all the hair splitting, see "Category:Fine arts" and page "The Arts". -- Fplay 15:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both Both should probably go. Opera and theatre are not fine arts as I understand normal usage. Just put them all in "culture". CalJW 08:12, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. Opera and theater are "fine arts", at least as far as the various academies of fine arts are concered. This will likely work better than "art" vs. "the arts". siafu 19:36, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Let us DELETE "Category:Pop culture". Here is the deal: Wikipedia:Browse says "Popular culture", as does the page. I have switched the roles of the Category and the Category-redirect. I want "Pop culture" to complete go away and for us to always use "Popular Culture". Again, the rename is already a fait d'accompli . Let us finish the job. Users who use the Browse interface will benefit for consistent usage: "Popular culture" only. -- Fplay 23:44, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete (and listify) -- Rick Block (talk) 23:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This category is inappropriate because it's not a defining feature of the cities it categorizes. Look, for example, at Dublin - according to its categories, it's a capital of Europe, a coastal city, part of Ireland, etc... and a host city of this one specific contest. This category is better handled as a list within Eurovision Song Contest or a related article. CDC (talk) 22:07, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why? The files are known as device drivers, not as peripheral drivers. Your reasoning? Metarhyme 07:23, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kind of like folders vs. directories I guess. Peripherals then if you dislike devices. Metarhyme 03:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The category is empty and without purpose, because of Category:Off-Broadway. Off-Broadway (with the hyphen) is the more common, and "official" way to spell the term. — warpedmirror (talk) 18:53, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Rename all ("of") K1Bond007 23:07, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of sub-categories of Category:Supermarkets follow the wording of "Supermarkets in country". However, some use the word "of", and one uses the wording "Fooian supermarkets". The following renamings are proposed so that there is one standard naming convention for supermarkets by country:

Note: Carina22 is correct, my original proposal by mistake was not one that followed the "of country" conventions outlined in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories) for companies. I'm withdrawing my original proposal and instead proposing the following renamings to match conventions:

Category is not needed as the articles cover the same information. There is only a handful of articles that could go in here anyway. Delete, but at the very least, needs renaming. The JPS 12:16, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Category has four members, and the article does not indicate this as a topic needing a category in the first place. siafu 19:57, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no need to rename or remove this category as there are other articles to be put under it which just havent been put there yet, Sorry not everyone is as fast as you and can do everything in a millesecond (The JPS). --MatthewFenton 11:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category is not needed as the main article Spira covers all the regions and locations in FFX Delete Chanlord 11:00, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • All the information you need is in one article Spira. They were merged not long ago, into one article from a number of stubs because it's better that way. FFX doesn't need 10+ articles on different cities in the game. It would mostly be fancruft. And it's been standardised like other Lists of Final Fantasy locations. And any more new articles that emerge would just be merged into the main article, leaving this category empty. Wikipedia is not a game guide. Chanlord 23:39, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is an inane category with no useful benefit. Are we going to add categories for wife-beaters too? How about pedophiles? -- Jbamb 05:02, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Um, we do have a category for pedophiles. If you want to make a category for people convicted (including guilty pleas) or known by historians to be guilty of domestic violence, go ahead. Firebug 05:49, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Do you know why I won't? Because it's puerile and of no possible benefit. It's trivia, at best. Or should we start surfing the pages of National Enquirer to pad our biographies? -- Jbamb 05:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am unable to think of any way this category would be more useful to our end users than just listing the fact in each article that the subject was convicted of drunk driving. The category doesn't serve to add information to articles, only group them, and I can think of a lot more useful criteria for grouping than whether they drove drunk. silsor 05:58, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the Category:Criminals subcategory Category:Drunk drivers or be fair and add traffic offense categories speeder, jaywalker, noleftturnturner; and while you're at it potsmoker, spitteronsidewalks and all the rest of them. Metarhyme 06:13, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hackwrench 18:01, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Pointless grouping of disparate people. No problem with mentioning drunk driving convictions in articles but what do you gain by grouping them togther? I suspect the category exists to subvert NPOV. User:Alex
