Category:Art and design workers already encompasses more than the visual arts and there is a need for an occupations category for the entire category of the arts.

This category is not used much and is too broad. Media, entertainment, and sports subcats are already listed directly under Category:Occupations.

After cleaning out the previously-deleted categories listed below, the remaining categories for Oz characters still need various capitalization and disambiguation fixes. - EurekaLott 21:02, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's only two articles in this category. Previously, several fancruft articles were in it, but they were all deleted and/or merged into the other two remaining articles. There isn't much likelihood that more articles will be added to this category. -- LGagnon 19:01, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't want to bite the newcomers, and especially not a promising one like Trident13, but Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Perhaps a reframing/renaming/merging might be better than deletion, but as it stands currently, not appropriate IMO. SP-KP 18:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This could be a solution - if we adopt it, not all articles should transfer to it though - Orchardleigh Lake isn't really a visitor attraction as such SP-KP 22:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was speedy merge as recreation of deleted content. - EurekaLott 20:27, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A user has recreated these, despite a vote to delete, and then a deletion review. I voted to keep these originally, but the recreation of them is way uncool. Below are the original requests from Usgnus, but I would suggest they deserve a Speedy merge back into category:Prisoners of Oz and Category:Staff Members of Oz (recapitalized to "members").--Mike Selinker 17:40, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Rename --Cyde↔Weys 16:04, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category is mainly used for schoolteachers, and it makes sense to make that explicit as there is room for confusion, and if it is not restricted it is just a confusing dupicate of category:Educators. This is made more necessary by the fact that in some countries the distinction between teachers and professors/academics is not as clear cut as it in the English-speaking world, which means that the purpose of this category can get lost in translation Chicheley 17:29, 11 June 2006 (UTC).[reply]

The result of the debate was Delete. Vegaswikian 05:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As per the category for deletion nomination for Category:Omega models, and discussion at Talk:Cindy Crawford and Category talk:Supermodels, "Supermodels" is not an encyclopedic term for categorising. It is not a "real" profession, and the term itself is a media creation. It's also highly POV, because who exactly decides when a particular model extends his or her career from that of a mere model to a "supermodel"? I understand the term denotes exceptional earning power or visibility within the industry, but categories should not be based on levels of success, especially when the criteria for inclusion on such a list is highly subjective - the particular noteworthy, unique achievements of the individual should be discussed in their article, rather than using a colloquial term to try to group all of them under one elite category. The current category of "Models" is all but empty, but seems to me to be a more logical and encyclopedic place to list these people, as it uses the correct name of their profession.

OK, I nominated for a merge, but I'm happy with delete. Rossrs 11:06, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Having been interviewed for Playboy is not really a defining characteristic of Paul Newman or Billy Wilder or any of these other people. Celebrities get interviewed by hundreds of publications in their lifetimes, which makes this a pretty bad precedent. JW 11:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Merge both to Category:Ancient Egypt in fiction. Vegaswikian 05:32, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and rename. These two populated categories appear to have a duplicate scope, and should at least be merged. Neither name however seems particulary standard (and for consistency with other usage it should be Ancient Egypt and not ancient Egypt )- I would further propose that both be replaced and renamed by something like Category:Ancient Egypt in fiction. cjllw | TALK 10:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most Category:Sports organisations are professional -- ProveIt (talk) 06:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Or, at least, most of the notable ones will be; the number of notable sporting organizations probably doesn't require a division of that nature. That said, is "sports" or "sporting" the preferred use, here? And without revealing myself as both a boorish American and a new editor, is there any precedent about American/British spellings (organisation/organization)? I doubt that last bit's important, but if it is, I thought I should point it out. Luna Santin 10:13, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
