Category:Kidz Bop songs

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 16:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Being covered on a Kidz Bop album does not seem like a notable enough characteristic to deserve a category. Also, it has already been listified at List of songs on the Kidz Bop albums. --musicpvm 00:11, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This is part of the transition of Singles by artist, which in a June 28 nomination converted a category called "category:Songs covered by the Kidz Bop kids" to this title. I don't care whether it stays or goes, though, since the Kidz Bop kids doesn't quite meet my fuzzy definition of an "artist." But maybe others might be more generous.--Mike Selinker 01:03, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename/merge to Category:Companies based in Tasmania --Kbdank71 16:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Companies are registered in Australia and not Australian states or territories. This category name is misleading. -- Longhair 23:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. --Tim4christ17 02:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong don't rename - we aren't talking about a legal definition here. It's fairly obvious to the non-legally informed user that where a company is from is where they are based, not where they are registered. (JROBBO 04:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Comment: There is no such thing as a Company of Tasmania. All Australian companies are Companies of Australia, and are therefore based in their relevant state if one wishes to further categorise in this way. The proposal is to rename, not delete. -- Longhair 04:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per "X in country" standard. JROBBO, this is not proposed for deletion. --Dhartung | Talk 04:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the strong consensus to rename American city demonyms in previous discussions including Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 July 14#More demonyms, the following should be renamed for the same reasons: to be consistent with other city categories and to avoid ambiguity.

Switching from "People from X" to "X-demonym" arose from a CFD consensus in the first place, didn't it?

Category:Americans who grew Hemp before 1900 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)}

Delete, Orphan category just created. Confusing inclusion criteria, includes 9 people, a farmhouse and a ship replica. Doesn't really seem like a useful or productive category... what's next, Canadians who grew Turnups before 1975? Also possibly indirectly POV... since why else would someone be pointing out this little factoid. W.marsh 16:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, I made a mistake when I posted the Mayflower II and the Plantation they are now gone, and considering the number of famous Americans who grew what is now an illegal substance it does matter. grazon — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grazon (talk • contribs)

- Comment "bizarre" is not a reason. grazon 17:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC) 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  - Fine. It's a bad category because a) it's a nearly useless piece of trivia, b) it's dated to an arbitrary point, c) it's very hard to verify, d) it will lead to even more trivial crop-based categories, and e) it's miscapitalized.--Mike Selinker 17:35, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment you make some good points Mike but I don't think any of the founding fathers grew a now illegal crop other than hemp. grazon 17:40, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
      - Sure, but you're narrowcasting to your understanding of the category. The category itself doesn't make any claims about illegality, or being a founding father, or even that it's a crop. So it can lead to "Canadians who grew turnips before 1975" because its wording encourages that type of category to be created. In my opinion, it's a "pathogen category"—if you leave it alone, it will multiply and kill the host.--Mike Selinker 17:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category is very ambiguous. It just states "This category links music singles which have been censored." That would include ever song that contains a profanity, so I don't see how such a category would be useful. Currently, the only articles it includes are Frankie Goes to Hollywood which is a group (not a single) and the Censorship of music article. --musicpvm 16:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Note the difference between the nominated cat and Category:Singles banned by the BBC, which says WHO did the banning. This means (1) easier to verify (2) avoid problem of governments like North Korea's that censor everything, and (3) avoid equating real censorship by powerful bodies like the BBC with church groups/public action committees and such that try to censor things, but don't actually have the power to enforce it. --M @r ē ino 17:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename I am a newbie and I created the category (as is mentioned in the talk page) because I wanted to be able to find censored songs easily and I thought others might also. I think they tell us interesting things about what society values over time. The Censorship of music article only provides a few examples and using the search tool didn't provide much useful information. I would be happy to see the category amended to be more specific, such as censored for political reasons in the USA. I hear there is a policy Please do not bite the newcomers that encourages looking for merit in new ideas. How could this category be amended rather than deleted? I intend to add things to it as I find them through research. --Missjeanie 04:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think anyone's trying to bite you, Missjeanie. I came up with a few reasons why the category is not useful, but that certainly doesn't mean that I think you are not a useful member of the Wikipedia team, or that you were stupid to try to create the category. As plenty of regulars on this page can tell you, I have created some genuinely stupid categories in my time here, so if I'm saying that you aren't stupid, I should know, right? ;) Like I suggested above, if you want to create a category for songs that some particular US government agency (like the FCC) has banned, you can do that. It's just that right now, this category is way too vague. --M @r ē ino 13:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Over-categorization... listify. LimoWreck 13:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Don't listify. Not useful. Carina22 16:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- well, some bands seem a vehicle for one central artist (eg. King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Nine Inch Nails, etc...), that's why I added a listify suggestion, to collect some notable trivia that doesn't need to pollute te articles categories however ;-) --LimoWreck 17:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We don't need a category for what is essentially useless indiscriminate trivia. Agent 86 17:36, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I actually kind of like this one. It made me want to add The Pretenders, for example. It seems to be documenting some weird state between band and singer that's very intriguing to me. Could be a list, could be a category, but regardless it seems useful.--Mike Selinker 17:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in this set too, and I can tell you for sure that the cat is extremely underpopulated right now. Nevertheless, it's not the best cat. A list would be ok, allowing that one member to be named along with dates. Bands don't always have the clearest membership histories, especially early on and during dry spells. There's also this cat's inevitable sibling, bands with zero constant members. ×Meegs 20:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I guess this category is not all that far from The New Main Street Singers. OK, listify (or something), but also delete.--Mike Selinker 22:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I created the category. I have no problem with it being deleted and turned into a list but I really do think it should stay. I don't see how it's not useful. I wouldn't want it to get out of hand with categories for bands with 2 constant members or bands with 3 constant members but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. I would also support categories for 0 and all origional members always. I might be hurting my own case by saying that but I think 0, 1, and all are more important to our number system than 2 or 3.

Delete and listify. This is a misuse of categories, the members are too disparate. It's trivia. --Dhartung | Talk 04:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Listify. This is exactly the sort of thing that Wikipedia can beat other encyclopedias at, so I think it's a great article candidate. The problem with making it a category, though, is that this information is now tagged to the bottom of every one of those band's articles. Far better to work it into the text, like "Ringo has been the only constant over the long history of Ringo Starr's All Star Band," with a link to the list of bands with only one constant member mid-text. --M @r ē ino 13:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Listify. Postdlf 21:25, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Though just make sure it's deleted whether or not anyone bothers to make a list first. Postdlf 19:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Listify is fine too. Kayaker 23:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC).[reply]
It is an interesting criterion of comparison between bands, but it's also a fairly trivial and non-encyclopedic one. I'd listify rather than deleting, personally. Bearcat 00:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Landolitan 16:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Listify if you like, but this is not encyclopedic, it is just ridiculous. --DreamsReign 23:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's certainly not ridiculous. Some of the bands like Yes and Deep Purple only have one constant member by coinsidence but most of the bands are outlets for one person and would not exist if not for that one person. It is a type of band, the type of band you see refered to ask "[only constant members name] and company" in music press. The Secretary of Funk 20:05, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As an impartial music fan who stumbled onto the category listing, I found it very cool, useful, interesting and informative. Anazgnos 17:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Cjosefy 00:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. or in the worste case, listify. It's not merely trivia or ridicolous info, it's a useful tool to compare different line-ups in similar scenes, I do not agree that it is not enciclopedic.--Doktor Who 00:56, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's a useful and interesting category. I also created the article List of bands with one consistent member before this category appeared. --HisSpaceResearch 18:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Royal palaces in Sweden (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to Category:Crown palaces in Sweden (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Rename, Tthis category is restricted to a group of ten palaces owned by the Swedish Crown and available for use by members of the Swedish Royal Family. I have created category:Royal residences in Sweden (a subcategory of category:Royal residences) which will also contain articles about palaces owned privately by the Swedish royal family. Initially I was going to propose renaming to Category:Royal Palaces in Sweden with a capital P, but that would be too confusing. Olborne 01:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
