The result of the debate was delete. Syrthiss 14:15, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was created to contain the article about Jack Nicklaus's caddie, who was Greek. He was already in category:Caddies and I don't think caddies should be classified as golfers unless they had a notable golf career of their own (which is almost never the case). I start most of Wikipedia's new articles about golfers but have no plans to write any about Greek golfers as I am not aware of any notable Greek golfers. Delete. Osomec 22:09, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

  • Delete as per nom, unless quickly populated with notable Greek golf players (rather than caddies who also play/ed golf). David Kernow 22:32, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I must admit I wasn't sure about this when I did created it. With the effort to make sure that everybody in sports gets a nationality/sport category, I would support changing this to Category:Greek caddies and giving the other guys in category:Caddies similar caddies. That's certainly OK with me.--Mike Selinker 22:57, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. Leave him in category:Caddies. Rockpocket 23:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These were all recently orphaned by the deletion of Category:Stub templates, here, and ought to be deleted themselves for essentially the same reasons. (Duplication of other listings, and non-standardising and complication of the code for stub templates.) Alai 21:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

      • the templates would work the same way they always do, putting articles in stub categories. but the templates themselves wouldnt be in a special category for templates. why should they be? theyre all listed along with a lot more information already.

The result of the debate was keep. Syrthiss 14:11, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A user requested deletion on my talk page on the grounds that the episode list should be filed directly in Category:Lists of television series episodes — however, one episode has already been written up and all of the others so far are redlinks on the episode list, indicating that an intention seems to exist to write up the others as well, and if that happens there has to be somewhere to file them. (I personally think articles about individual episodes of a TV series are generally unnecessary, but I know there's an ongoing Wikicontroversy about that.) I created the category, but only because Pilot (Ghost Whisperer) was previously filed in all the TV series categories, where it doesn't belong — I have very little interest in the topic otherwise. No vote from me; procedural nom since deletion has been requested by another user. Bearcat 19:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I wouldn't mind seeing this category deleted as it is based on a non-authoritative list from a 2004 almanac, but if deletion fails, at least let us use the proper (ie. official) name for this list. Ezeu 03:31, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As of now, no one is categorized under Category:National Geographic's 50 Most Important Political Leaders in History. I support the change since "in History" is clearer than "of All Time", but we have to change the category in all relevant articles since we cannot simply move the category.--Jusjih 08:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. NG is indeed respected, but this list is not why. Publications of every sort are constantly publishing these kinds of lists, and only a very few are significant and longstanding enough to have attained notability (e.g. the Fortune 500). Incidentally, political bias is not necessarily a reason to delete a list, but I don't agree in the slightest that the NGS is "unbiased." -choster 23:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If this contained what its name implies it should that would amount to tens of thousands of articles rather than seven. It is actually for articles about the European Union's activities in these fields, which don't amount to much. The two articles about sport could perhaps be moved into a separate category, though sport is treated as a branch of culture within the overall categorisation system. category:European sport already exists.

This is bad in so many ways: it is abbreviated; it exists mainly to contain an article which needs cleanup and possibly shouldn't exist; it cuts across other categories for sports teams; it is U.S. centric because the term is U.S. centric. Just delete it please. Choalbaton 02:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

This category was apparently set up in contrast to category:Color commentators to reflect a Canadian/American spelling difference.

This category is for people related to the singer Toni Braxton. The term clan, while technically applicable, carries connotations which do not apply and IMHO is ostentatious; I see no reason why this category shouldn't match its counterparts in Category:American families. -choster 00:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename --Latinus 23:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC) The title seems a little awkward, and it is also somewhat misleading as to the contents of the category. The Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066, but the full conquest took rather longer and the category properly covers the full breadth of the topic, eg the Revolt of the Earls, which took place in 1075.
