Category:Hybrid citrus into Category:Citrus

  • Merge, almost all citrus fruit are hybrids and there is some debate about which ones are not. GameKeeper 18:02, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as above. Even the Orange (fruit) is almost certainly a hybrid. Jcam 01:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - per the Tangelo, for example. Perhaps the category needs a clearer name of what's to be included? - jc37 12:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on jc37's opposition. Perhaps Category:Portmanteau citrus would be better name. As mentioned by Jcam, the Orange (fruit) is just as much a hybrid as the Tangelo. Infact they may both be hybrids of Tangerine and Pomelo. See Citrus#History for the 4/5 most likely candidates for un-hybridised citrus, but even these are debatable. GameKeeper 13:09, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Portmanteau citrus sounds like a better name. The problem with "hybrid" is that it would seem that nearly all foods now are hybrids. - jc37 03:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I still want a Merge into Citrus. I think even Category:Portmanteau citrus is a useless way to categorise citrus. The only hit on google for this name is here! GameKeeper 08:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - The division between "hybrid" citrus and "normal" citrus obviously is not very distinct. Having the division is neither helpful nor necessary. George J. Bendo 21:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Major league players from California into Category:Major League Baseball players from California; accuracy. Pegship 19:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Moved from Speedy doesn't meet criteria, accuracy not speedyable. Hiding Talk 17:52, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. - jc37 12:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The current name matches the other categories in Category:American Major League Baseball players by home state. Oppose unless the other categories are also nominated for renaming. - EurekaLott 02:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I agree that the others should be renamed as well. Anyone want to nominate them? - jc37 03:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - If someone should nominate them, I believe the correct category name should be Major League Baseball players born in (State), not "from" the state. AFAIK, each of the categories seems to include only players born in a given state. However, saying that someone is "from" a state just because he was born there can be misleading. To pick a handful of numerous examples:
    • Roger Clemens is most commonly identified with Texas, despite having lived in Ohio for his first 15 years.
    • George Brett was born in West Virginia, but spent the greater part of his childhood in Southern California, and developed as a baseball player there. Saying that he's from West Virginia may be technically accurate, but misleading.
    • Johnny Damon was only born in Kansas because that's where his father was stationed with the Army. He lived in many places as a child, but eventually settled in Florida after his father left the Army.
    • Although not a player, and thus not belonging in a category of MLB players, pitching coach extraordinaire Leo Mazzone is a perfect example of this dichotomy. He was born in West Virginia, but only because it had the nearest hospital to the Maryland town his parents lived in at the time. To say he's "from West Virginia" would be HIGHLY misleading. — Dale Arnett 09:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Actors who played HIV-positive characters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Delete, only one article in the category. It could, of course, have hundreds of articles in it, but why? Categorizing actors by the health of the characters they have played is not helpful. —Angr 16:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Category:Memoirists, since they are authors of memoirs. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Writers of memoirs. I believe "writing one's memoirs" is the more "common" phrase. - jc37 12:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom as an obviously correct usage of a common word. One is "writing one's memoirs" when they are not yet published, after they have come out one is a memoirist. Greg Grahame 13:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm having trouble finding such a word in the dictionary [1] : ) - jc37 03:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Try [2] or [3]. Another word for someone who writes memoirs is "memorialist" [4] [5]. As long as Category:Memoirists already exists, it may as well be used. —Angr 10:31, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename per nom. Piccadilly 11:44, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom. ReeseM 13:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fictional characters created by Stan Lee (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

  • Delete and listify overspecialized category. There is no Category:Fictional characters created by William Shakespeare, Category:Fictional characters created by Charles Dickens, Category:Fictional characters created by Stephen King, or Category:Fictional characters created by Bob Kane. Plus, given the hundreds of characters Stan Lee created or co-created, this category is virtually unpopulated with only three entries. Category title also suggest that Lee created these by himself when, in fact, the respective artists are normally considered co-creators. Doczilla 05:47, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete However we do have Category:Charles Dickens characters and [[:Category:Shakespearean characters, and rightly too, but Stan Lee isn't Dickens or Shakespeare. Honbicot 11:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm really tempted to say "keep" as few creators come close to coming up with as many characters who are still important today. On the other hand, given the creatorship disputes between Lee and Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby, among others, and the fact he virtually always collaborated with others, plus the Just Imagine... series, and his independent works... and it wouldn't really be fair to exclude many of the other prolific creators, especially Kirby. So, delete, listify and set a precedent. --HKMarks(T/C) 16:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

      • I found some info on Stan Lee in an online encyclopedia if that helps? :). Listify. Hiding Talk 07:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well not completely the creator - indeed even in the Fantastic Four's fictional universe when they recently went into the afterlife and met their creator he was Jack Kirby! Timrollpickering 15:20, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Ignoring that if fully populated it could possibly duplicate much of the Marvel categories, it would require citations in a way not possible by categories. (The Jack Kirby controversies, for example.) Categorisation by comic book creator is likely not a good idea. - jc37 12:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
