Propose renaming Category:Wikipedians in Montréal to Category:Wikipedians in Montreal

Nominator's rationale: Rename. Category needs to be renamed to match the common English spelling of main article Montreal, and for that matter, master category Category:Wikipedians in Quebec, neither of which use the accented "é" in the English Wikipedia, per Wikipedia:CANSTYLE#French_names . Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename. Consistent with the well-established consensus on the English Wikipedia. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy close and relist at WP:UCFD. Otto4711 (talk) 21:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I tried to use the cfr-user template, but I can't figure out how to fill it in so it doesn't say CATEGORY UNKNOWN... Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:50, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Categories are duplicative of the Category:Wikipedian guitarists series of categories. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge all to respective equivelant in the "Wikipedian guitarists" tree, except for guitar-5 which should be merged with -4, as instrument categories don't have a 5th level. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Hmm, it appears 5 out of the 6 of these have previously already been merged, see Wikipedia:User_categories_for_discussion/Archive/September_2007#Category:User_guitar.

Iceweasel is now a redirect, and this has apparently been renamed to GNU IceCat. We should rename this category to match the article name. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to Category:Wikipedians who use GNU IceCat as nom. I would also not oppose deletion as I don't think it is particularly useful for Wikipedia to categorize users by web browser preference. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedians who use WordPress (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

According to our article, "WordPress is an open source blog publishing application." Not helpful for Wikipedia to categorize users by blog publishing application preference. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Suggestion. Just a thought, but if these are deleted, what do people think about a friendly note to members of categories like this that they may like to watchlist the relevant page, for example our article on Wordpress? The only utility I can think of in having a category is to find someone if there is an issue with the article. Would such a note go some way to covering that base?

Category:Recycling in the usa today\ (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This could possibly be speedy deleted as nonsense, looks to be some story by a single-purpose account. Only page in it is a user page, so I guess this is supposed to be a user category. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Testcat (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

We already have Category:X1 for testing purposes. Would probably qualify as a G2 deletion, but I see this has already been deleted as G2 previously, so perhaps users thinking about recreating this would be better off being linked to a UCFD (this) that will point them to Category:X1.

  • That also has some sort of box pertaining to an individual user (the creator), so this may be some sort of individual user category, a further reason to delete (plus, being a "fan" of Japanese railroad is not something we need to categorize). VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedian Leaving Certificate Students (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I fail to see how this category can be used for collaboration.

Category:Ek$i Sözlük Contributors (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

No indication this is a user category, so needs a rename at minimum. Would also support deletion as I don't believe categories by contributon to other websites are useful for Wikipedia. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to Category:Wikipedians who contribute to Ek$i Sözlük or delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I don't really know how it works here, so even as the creator of the category I can not really say that I'm strongly against a delete or a rename, but it is not a user-only category. ie Okan Bayülgen and Murat Arslan are also some of the exposed contributors of the website, and actually I'm pretty sure that there are more of these non-wikipedian-contributors within wikipedia. So I think the question is, whether this is a noteworthy information or not. I would say that it is from a turkish point of view. It's really hard to explain this to a non-turkish-speaking-person, but to give a couple of examples, it's a website where celebrities care a lot about, it's cited quite a lot on the newspaper articles and TV shows, when somebody is starting a research it's one of the first places they look at etc. So it's basically like an undergound wikipedia written in colloquial language, and a large part of contributors see it almost like a secret organization like, say, freemasons :). See it for yourself; go to http://www.websitevaluecalculator.com/ and try both wikipedia.org and sozluk.sourtimes.org, you'll be surprised :) But again, I'm not strongly opposing a rename or a delete, you probably know better how it works here.

  • We should not be mixing mainspace articles and Wikipedian user pages in the same category. If both categorizations are considered appropriate, the category should be split. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 09:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - perhaps the best course of action is to depopulate this category of user pages, and then let CFD take care of this past that if they don't think this is appropriate for mainspace pages. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Design Wikipedians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This would make more sense with a rename at minimum, or a delete as too broad. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Rename to Category:Wikipedians interested in design as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete — too vague any way you look at it; there are many disciplines of design. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 14:51, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wouldn't oppose deletion based on that rationale, nomination edited to reflect that. VegaDark (talk) 16:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename is fine. There is no reason to delete. The subject of design in general is as interesting as any one discipline of design, especially to those with multidisciplinary interests. Oicumayberight (talk) 23:30, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - simply too broad. Not opposed to creation of more specific categories, such as industrial design. - jc37 20:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cafe Mobil member (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

No article on Cafe Mobil, so can't possibly support collaboration. Additionally, no indication it is a user category. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete category is only used by one userbox, by one user, therefore it's a single user category, also per that the article doesn't exist, it used to, but was deleted per: (A7 (web): Web content which doesn't indicate its importance or significance).

Category:Game Maker Wikipedians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Either needs a rename to Category:Wikipedians who use Game Maker or Category:User GameMaker (or something similar) depending on if we want to treat this as a software program or a programming language, per accepted naming conventions. I'd prefer the first option. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, as a "Wikipedians who use a non-wikipedia-related software application suite". If no consensus to delete, then Rename to Category:Wikipedians who use Game Maker. - jc37 20:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wouldn't be opposed to deletion based on that either. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Grasshopper-Club Zürich Fans (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Needs a rename to reflect this is a user category, and for proper capitalization. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename to Category:Wikipedian Grasshopper-Club Zürich fans as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
