Not a good precedent. The possibilities for this kind of category are endless; American people in Great Britain, Australians in Great Britain, British people in the United States, etc, etc. JW 22:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Irish-Americans are Americans of Irish ancestry, not Irish people living in America. JW 14:08, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Empty, duplicated at Category:Polish queens consort. Queens consort is probably the more correct plural although they are both in Category:Queen consorts. MeltBanana 21:24, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment wouldn't it be Polish Queens consorts? since it is multiple consorts for cat... maybe I'm wrong. gren グレン 23:41, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom; "queens consort" is the technically correct plural of "queen consort". Many other situations like this have been altered, at least in American English (e.g. "Whopper juniors" instead of "Whoppers junior"), but this is such a rare situation that there's been no such dialectizing AFAIK. siafu 01:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We base these categories off of *nationality* such as Category:United Arab Emirati terrorists, Category:American terrorists and Category:French terrorists, we do not categorise them based off of racial features. Note that we don't have Category:Black terrorists or Category:White terrorists - all of the characters listed under this category are already listed by their nationality, which is a much better solution.

This category is named "Time Travel devices". According to my understanding of Wikipedia policy, only the initial letter is supposed to be capitalized unless it is a name. Since there is no way (that I found) to rename a category, I made the category change in all of the affected articles. Now that this category is empty, it should be deleted.

I submit that this category should be renamed since it should have a focus on the neighbourhoods of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. This category could also include links to the articles on other neighbourhoods of St. John's, as well as the former municipalities of Wedgewood Park and Goulds.

For consistency with similar categories, propose renaming all to [[:Category:<series name> actors]], as that is the most commonly used scheme. I would also not object to renaming everything else in the category to "cast and crew" though, because that would be more correct. Radiant_>|< 16:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

comment Sorry, but there is nothing POV in it at all.

Overly simplistic. As discussed on Talk:List of critics of Islam there are Muslims who are critics of certain types of Islam. It's hard to judge who is and who isn't a critic and you can't set it as a boolean of is or isn't without a boatload of criteria. A well written page can give explanation but a category cannot. gren グレン 04:15, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete More controversial than it is useful. Osomec 05:00, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep This is a very useful category that helps keep track of notable personalities whose work addresses the same topic. I do not believe that Gren's points have merit as if we were to apply this reasoning regarding criterias to wikipedia then we would have to do away with all categories. --Amenra 05:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This looks like a list prepared to punish the critics, any critics. ←Humus sapiens←ну? 07:23, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps some people might interpret it that way , but that is not the idea of this list. The list is simply a list of free-minded thinkers who have expressed their views on Islam. As Wikipedians we should organize information to make it easier for the reader to find things. This list will help the reader to locate notable figures who have expressed independant opinions on Islam.--Amenra 02:52, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Agreeing doesn't make you less of a free thinker ~_~. My biggest problem is you haven't given any specific criteria of what merits inclusion. Is it only non-Muslim critics? Those who critic the existence of Islam as a whole? Those who critique its ethical system? Those who critique other sects? gren グレン 03:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Like I answered you on the Talk:List of critics of Islam the criteria is simply based on the dictionary definition of critic , that is "One who forms and expresses judgments of the merits, faults, value, or truth of a matter" It could be Muslim or Non-Muslim critics . They can have stated their view on any aspect of Islam , though it most cases they are more likely to have opined on the more conspicuous aspects of the belief system.--Amenra 03:36, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Serves no purpose given that we have a List of critics of Islam article. GeorgeStepanek\talk 10:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Many of these people would hate to be in the same category and they don't form some sort of united front. Yuber(talk) 16:08, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
How just exactly how would you know that? Did you ask them ? Did any of them think that by criticising the ideology they were not critics?--Amenra 03:08, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Can we now expect a Category:Critics of Roman Catholicism that joins together Martin Luther, Sinead O'Connor, Pope John XXIII and Marcel Lefebvre? Because that's about as much sense as this makes. As Grenavitar said, a list in an article can potentially embody the necessary clarifications and nuances (even if the list we have is far from ideal); a category can't. Some of the people on this category would be concerned to find themselves on it and probably think it rather unfair, I'm thinking in particular of the likes of Nasr Abu Zayd. Even if "critic" can mean "someone who makes a critique of", it's more likely to be interpreted as "someone who's against", and lots of the people on this list aren't blindly againt Islam, yet others are. Some are political polemicists of the C21, others are Christian apologeticists of the C7. It's no use. Palmiro | Talk 16:18, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
As I answered you in the Talk:List of critics of Islam the answer is a resounding YES, we should have all those lists. Let the information flow . --Amenra 03:05, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
