The result of the debate was no consensus. Conscious 07:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Currently it is focusing on locations. "Books" and texts, like Chaldean Oracles need to be split into a separate category. No need to confound the site with the Oracle per se. The former might have serveral Oracle texts over time, each may eventually have its specific article. Connection 23:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is exacly the point (articles which are not about locations mixed with locations). You agree to create a separate Category:Classical oracle sites at the same level with Category:Classical oracles? This what I meant and did not put it right (refer to "need to be split" above).--Connection 11:32, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but there was no need to bring it here. The closing administrator probably won't be an expert on this subject so he or she won't be in a good position to carry that out. I suggest that this is closed as a no action to be taken (your request for a rename doesn't seem to meet your own requirements) and that you go ahead and reorganise things yourself.

  • Rename as nom. David Kernow 22:23, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename It also avoids using an American spellling (or a British one). Chicheley 02:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Do we really want to create a category with a letter that is difficult to type on most English keyboards. Articles can have redirects making it painless to use the alternate spelling, but category redirects don't work as well. --JeffW 07:36, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd say they only don't work as well because one more click is required. Is that really too much to ask for the sake of accuracy?  Regards, David Kernow 11:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unnecessary duplication of Category:Fictional books. MakeRocketGoNow 20:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. --Musicpvm 21:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep it's not a duplication, since a "fictional book" is any book in a work of fiction that only exists in fiction. However a fictional fiction book is a work of fiction in the work of fiction, so is a subcategory, and _not_ a duplicate. The "Encyclopedia Galactica" is a fictional non-fiction book, so thus is not a fictional fiction book. 132.205.45.148 00:20, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. If a book is fictional, I don't think it needs to be further categorized by what genre it is. Category:Fictional books is enough. Also, the majority of fictional books are fiction, so it doesn't make sense to create an ambiguously-named subcategory for them. --Musicpvm 03:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I seem to find the majority of fictional books are non-fiction or religious, and not fiction. 70.51.8.92 08:15, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete per nom.--Smerus 21:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep to see where it may be going. -Lady Aleena @ 22:08, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Musicpvm. If it gets to be an overly-large category then we can see about breaking it up. Herostratus 06:16, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Herostratus. --Elonka 18:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If there are fictional fiction books are there nonfictional fiction books or aren't those just called fiction? I think this category is getting a bit too specific and could just end up being confusing.--Joe Jklin (T C) 20:11, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment A nonfictional nonfiction book is a regular nonfiction book. A nonfictional fiction book, would be a real book, that is also a book of fiction... IOW, what you find on the fiction shelves at the bookstore or library. A fictional fiction book, is a book that does not exist, except in fiction, but is in the work of fiction, also a work of fiction. A fictional non-fiction book, is a book tha does not exist except in fiction, but in such fiction is a work of non-fiction (ie. Encyclopedia Galactica). Now, is a religious text a work of fiction or nonfiction? So... there's also fictional religious books... 70.51.11.172 11:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I understand your logic but it seems to be complicating something that doesn't need to be complicated. I just think this category is confusing and too specific. Sorry keeping my delete vote.--Joe Jklin (T C) 05:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Too confusing. Osomec 21:32, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Makes my head hurt.--Mike Selinker 15:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Category:Fictional books is quite sufficient; we don't need to subcategorize them beyond that. Oh, and Mike Selinker, if your head hurts now, ponder this: off the top of my head, the only thing I can personally think of that would belong in this category is the novel-within-a-novel The Blind Assassin in Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin. So how do you suppose we would categorize fictional fiction books that exist within works of fiction named for the fictional fiction books they contain? I have some ibuprofen if you need it.

The result of the debate was Category redirect Stadia to Stadiums. --William Allen Simpson 02:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The plural of stadium is stadia. Robwingfield (talk) 15:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And therefore, logically, renaming of all sub-categories that use the "stadiums" form. Robwingfield (talk) 15:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Cambridge dictionary, dictionary.com, Wiktionary, and our own Wikipedia article consider either "stadiums" or "stadia" acceptable. --M@rēino 15:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • But having both of these is not acceptable, so which one do you support? Osomec 18:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Right now, Stadia redirects to Stadiums. I see no reason why that's not acceptable.--M@rēino 18:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Category:Stadiums. Both are correct, but Wikipedia prefers common names. -- ProveIt (talk) 17:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would have said "stadia" is more common; I hardly ever hear "stadiums" used. Robwingfield (talk) 00:28, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Category:Stadiums. English evolves, and stadiums is now the normal usage, so it is the correct usage. Osomec 18:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Category:Stadiums. I created some of the categories which use "Stadia", but I regret it. They should be standardised to "Stadiums". Choalbaton 18:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Categoryredirect to Category:Stadium 132.205.45.148 00:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete category:Stadia. It is already a redirect, but that should go. Keep Category:Stadiums. Sumahoy 03:05, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. "Stadiums" is more understandable to the common layperson than "Stadia". Wikipedia should stick with English in its common usage, even if it is not most precise. --Elonka 18:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • As above, "stadia" is in more common usage, hence why I suggested the rename. Robwingfield (talk) 07:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Perhaps it is a US / UK thing? In the US, stadia is an obscure term. ProveIt (talk) 20:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Perhaps... I'm loath to admit it, but a simple Google search produces 2.65mill results for "stadia", and 15.3mil results for "stadiums". I guess I'll have to withdraw this one, even though it follows simple Latin grammar rules. I only hope Americans don't say "bacteriums" instead of "bacteria"! Robwingfield (talk) 12:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • I think "bacteria" is safe, as is "media". No worries about it being changed to "mediums"!  :) --Elonka 18:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose keep Stadiums as the primary name; keep redirect to it from Stadia. Never have I seen or heard 'Stadia' in US English. Thanks Hmains 16:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not a valid reason, I'm afraid. This is English Wikipedia, not American English or British English. Robwingfield (talk) 23:31, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't much care which one is which, but given the usage issue it's pretty clear that having one as the primary category and the other as a redirect to the primary category is very much the correct way to go here. Either keep as is, or merge the other way — I don't really care, but either way don't delete the redirect. Or maybe merge them both into a new category that avoids the issue of the conflicting plurals entirely, by using a different word for them altogether. Bearcat 02:56, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Category:Stadiums. I checked the BBC site and it used stadiums 6 times as often as stadia. Therefore "Stadia" isn't British English, it's just old-fashioned English. There is a separate Latin Wikipedia for those who prefer Latin to English. Golfcam 03:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm afraid you're mistaken there. Unfortunately, British English is suffering from American creep due to films, television, etc. As such, many people are starting to use incorrect forms of spelling and grammar, and pronouncing words like schedule as "skedyule" rather than "shedyule". The BBC isn't the bastion of the English language it once was. From personal experience in England, stadia is used more, and is the correct form. However, I've already conceded that maybe worldwide, stadiums is used more than stadia, but to say that stadia is Latin but not English is grossly incorrect. Robwingfield (talk) 09:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • English changes and the current form is determined by usage, not by the dictats of grammarians. If you don't like it, you will have to lump it, as you are certainly campaigning for a lost cause. Chicheley 07:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
