It's simply a POV category... bogdan 23:50, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I don't know if we have a nationalists category, or whether we should if we don't, but one of those three would properly go in it if we did. Additionally, the other two entries, the stubs, appear to be of dubious notability; I've tagged them with Template:Importance. Postdlf 01:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because of the term. It may be used in Bulgaria but allowing it here will result in avalanche of similar categories and never ending disputes. The two people were likely important in their time, it is just lack of Bulgarians here that it didn't get expanded. Pavel Vozenilek 14:42, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was keep. Syrthiss 15:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Makes more sense to have a general athletics category. Two of the entries, Memorial Field (Dartmouth) and Dartmouth College athletic teams are already general athletics. Also fits better with new subcategorization scheme of Category:Dartmouth College --_└^Smith120bh/_TALK^┐ 21:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose. However it fits with the Dartmouth categories, this recommendation completely circumvents the categorization scheme of Category:College football teams. I have no objection to making the Dartmouth football category a subcategory of a new Dartmouth athletics category (such as Category:Texas Longhorns football feeds into Category:Texas Longhorn Athletics), but I do not want to see this change enacted as proposed.--Mike Selinker 19:42, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I'm fine with that - I apologize, I didn't look at the precedent at other schools very closely. Other athletics at Dartmouth are not well-documented on Wikipedia, although some should be - some of the Dartmouth teams have been quite successful in national tournaments (women's hockey, women's basketball, and squash have all stayed fairly high in national rankings the past few years) - but that's a project for another day. I'd support making football a sub-cat of athletics. --_└^Smith120bh/_TALK^┐ 21:05, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, and the storied Dartmouth crew team could easily merit an article. (Especially if this keeps happening. Them otters are ferocious.)--Mike Selinker 01:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Mike's idea -- I think it would do best as a subcategory to Athletics. As a side note, I'd like to see the "Big Green" taken out of the name, as it seems superfluous and is not a particularly common way to refer to Dartmouth football. "Dartmouth College football" should do just fine. Dylan 23:30, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The nomenclature of the category is "(college name) (team name) football." So there should be a team name, and the only one I know is Big Green. Is there some other term the Dartmouth students use for their team? If not, it should stay "Dartmouth Big Green football."--Mike Selinker 01:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nope, Big Green is the official 'name' of the team. The only other option is the administration-despised and unofficial Keggy the Keg... I'm in the marching band at Dartmouth, and when we cheer, we're yelling "Go Dartmouth" or "Go Green". Keep "Big Green". --_└^Smith120bh/_TALK^┐ 02:02, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh, okay -- I didn't realize that there was a precedent for including the team name. You're right, Big Green (although unofficial) is definitely the best choice. Dylan 22:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Contains no articles, only alumni subcats for some Oxbridge women's and formerly-women's colleges. Since most Oxbridge colleges have been coed for decades, most Oxbridge women will not in fact be included in these subcats (and some men will be). Also, lumping Oxford and Cambridge together screws up category hierarchy and promotes Oxbridge myth. Also sexist. —Blotwell 05:11, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or rename If Wikipedia is to record historical as well as current information, it would be good to keep this category in some form. Biographical articles could be included directly for more recent entries. Jonathan Bowen 12:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Far too inaccurate. People who want to find out about Oxbridge women can scan the categories - all 60 or so, not just these - for female names. Piccadilly 17:57, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: no opinion for now on this particular category - but for enquirers who don't know simply by looking at a list of Oxbridge colleges which ones were the historical women's colleges, a quick and easy way to find out would be useful - although this category in its present form may not provide it particularly accurately.

Badly capitalised, not pluralised, from text and existing supercategorisation very unclear scope. Sounds like a gender-based split of Category:Filipino actors -- but probably isn't. Alai 04:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just because the movies spoofed the Bond films doesn't mean the categories have to spoof the Bond categories. The movies were funny and popular, but Austin Powers never spawned anything like Category:Bond girls, a cultural...um...phenomenon...in its own right, spanning decades, and Bond girl is actually a rather substantial article. Austin Powers girl is rather nonexistant. The phrase "Bond girl" gets more than 2.7 million Google hits.[1] "Austin Powers girl" gets 598, of which this category is the first hit.[2] Seeing as the internet's main task is to archive sexy pictures, I think these findings are highly relevant.

Merge into the more widely-used "Manga artists" category. Since Japanese comic-book artists are arguably the same thing as manga artists, I believe that the section is redundant. One might make a special case for Yoshitaka Amano, who has drawn for Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, but the way the category was being used was exactly the same as the category for actual manga artists. Julian Grybowski 03:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Opppose. I disagree that the two are redundant; the former refers to nationality, the latter to the genre or form of art. That they may overlap significantly is not a problem, because it's just a consequential intersection of cultural geography (or some such BS, I don't know quite how to phrase it). If articles are misplaced in either of these, that is an easy problem to fix. Postdlf 03:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: brand new category that is a dupe of an existing category (Category:Reality television participants) -- MisterHand 00:16, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's largely true, though I note that included reality television "stars" such as Paula Abdul are not "participants." I think this should probably be renamed to something inclusive of all people appearing as participants, regular judges (no one-shot guest judges, thank you), or hosts of reality television series, the preexisting participants category made a subcategory, and everyone in the participant category or its subcategory delisted from the successor to the "stars" category. Postdlf 00:32, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Not a bad idea at all. I'm just trying to avoid a growing problem where we are starting to get these folks listed in two places, which is entirely unnecessary. -- MisterHand 00:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Correct my comment to read everyone who should be in the participant category, as those redundancies were cured in the wrong direction since my comment. Postdlf 00:56, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - I don't know much about reality TV, but in the sports categories, the term for these people is "officials." I think that would cover Paula Abdul (a judge) and Ryan Seacrest (a host), but I might be wrong. Another possibility is "moderators."--Mike Selinker 19:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
