Confusing name; it is unclear whether this relates to items for Admins, or items related to general WikiProcess. Also, seems redundant with Category:Wikipedia maintenance and/or Category:Wikipedia administration. Wouldn't mind deletion, but if kept rename to something clearer.

Redundant with existing and more appropriate categorization of WikiPages. Made as a counterpart for "Wikipedia voting forums" to create a false dichotomy. Also, these aren't forums. Radiant_>|< 21:07, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one article in the category, and this is not likely to change in the near future, perhaps make a Non-Italian Popes category, as suggested further down under Polish Popes. -- Cooksey 20:19, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See Category:Celebrities with dimples a bit farther down and delete. Soltak | Talk 18:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • a reason to keep because it groups people by how they look. There are categories for Bearded women, Albinos, People without hands, among others, so why not a category for people with dimples? There are people born with dimples, you know. Dimples are classified as a human congenital appearance, present since birth. There is a long list of people with dimples on the Dimple page. Most articles on Wikipedia that contain long lists of people get merged into categories. --User:Sevensouls 18:04, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

At the moment, the only article in this category is Toon Disney, which is also part of the Category:Disney Channel, and isn't an affiliate in the traditional sense of the word, anyway. Disney, to my knowledge, does not maintain regular network affiliations, so I don't think there's really much use or need for this category. – Seancdaug 17:28, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a democracy, and very, very few places are actually votes. To list them as places for voting is inaccurate and misleading, as well as encouraging vote counting as opposed to consensus-building. [[Sam Korn]] 16:31, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Go for it! (talk · contribs) has also created Category:Wikipedia decision forums, as a "politically correct" alternative to this template. Personally I'm not disposed any more kindly towards it than I was towards the original. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 18:46, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, Lord! It burns! It burns us so badly! Kill it, now! And quickly! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 16:41, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • MexCabal burning, delete -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 16:42, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Everybody treats them that way anyway, no matter how many policy pages get created saying that they're not really "votes". (I'm not sure which way to vote... er, I mean "express my opinion"... on this.) *Dan T.* 16:43, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Worl, changing this to bullet points (when I and drini specifically weren't using them) doesn't help matters :-). The "voting forums" are not voting forums, and the perception that they are is harmful to the good operation of the encyclopaedia. Such a perception should be hunted down and destroyed, not boosted by silly categories. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:52, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • KEEP -- How are newbies going to find these forums if we can't use plain english to describe them? This category lists places Wikipedians cast their ballots, say "yeah" or "nay", decide for or against, say "keep" or "delete", "support" or "oppose"... in other words: VOTE. Heck even this discussion right now is a voting session. And now you're saying we can't describe it as voting, even though that's exactly what the activity is? That's just plain censorship, and it's idiotic. Perhaps the votes don't get interpretted nor counted in the same way they do in a democracy, but they're still votes. Voting is part of Wikipedian culture, and is done in a very Wikipedian way, and rather than labeling the word as taboo, we should simply put it in context, because you aren't going to stop users from speaking their native language just because it offends you. If they see something that looks like voting and feels like voting, they're going to call it voting. The categories are meant to help users find what they are looking for. If a user is looking for the places where he can vote, either because he participated by following a link or he read about them, he will understand the category Wikipedia voting forums the instant he lays eyes on it. Please, let's focus on building categories to help users find what they are looking for, which in turn will help Wikipedia operate more smoothly, and let's put it all into context at the destinations. Thank you for your time. Go for it! 17:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Wikipedia has only one procedure that involves straight-out voting, and that's RfA. And even then, it's not a full democratic vote. Encouraging people to "vote" at places that aren't voting forums, and telling them to expect those forums to be treated as elections, is bloody stupid and should not occur. AfD, TfD, CfD, RfD, RfA, $INSERTNAMEHERE, et al. are not places where people who want to engage in democracy can go to do so — they all have specific purposes, and this sort of thing subverts that purpose. To Hell with your "censorship" bizzo. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 17:52, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Calling something a voting forum is likely to give a newbie the impression that it is, well, a vote. When it isn't. The category doesn't put anything in context, other than that we vote in some forums: a context they should not be given. Established WPians know that, and newbies will be mislead by it. It serves no purpose that is not already collected together in the various other categories that most such pages are in, and so should be removed. -Splashtalk 17:29, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Drop it, Wikipedia is not a democracy. - FrancisTyers 18:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Do I have to give a reason? — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 16:25, Jan. 2, 2006

  • Strong delete. I've been monitoring the actions of User:Flarn2005 for some time now, and his actions have - in my opinion, of course - been nothing but disruption and censorship. A check of his blog, to which he links on his userpage, reveals that he is young - perhaps even a preteen - and attempts to reason with him, likely because of his extremely young age, have been met with difficulty. While I don't think that being young should exclude one from participating in wikipedia, I do think that his history counts against him. jglc | t | c 16:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uncertain as to the purpose of the category, are there amateur CAM treatments?. DocJohnny 11:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge --DocJohnny 11:32, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge same reasoning as above --CDN99 22:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. No argument. siafu 22:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. Cleates a nonexistent distincion. All CAM treatments are unprofessional, and CAM takes a degree of pride of not being professional at all. JFW | T@lk 20:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge. Whether you consider all CAM treatments "unprofessional" depends on whether you use the narrower, older definition of profession (by which there are only a few professions-- medicine, law, divinity), or the more widely used modern usage that equates professional with "making a living by doing something that takes special knowledge or skill". I would tend to use the broader definition in the alt med context and hence disagree with JFW. However the boundaries of the two sets are very difficult to distinguish from each other and I can't think of much value in keeping them separate. alteripse 15:21, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category is a sub-category of Category:LGBT organizations and was added apparently for the NAMBLA entry only so that it would not be listed on the LGBT org page. Pedastry accompanies more than just homosexuality, could be bi or straight also, so it's placement is misleading. It theoretically could be a valuable category if there was more than just one entry. Should be deleted. -- Jbamb 02:40, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
