September 5

NEW NOMINATIONS

Category:Communist Party of Russia members

Propose renaming Category:Communist Party of Russia members to Communist Party of the Russian Federation members

Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match the official name of the party. There are many different communist parties in Russia with similar names (any one could be called a Russian Communist Party or Communist Party of Russia, although this is usually applied to the CPRF), and the Communist Party of Russia was also one of the historical names for the Soviet Bolsheviks during the 1920s.

Propose renaming Category:Godspeed You Black Emperor albums to Category:Godspeed You! Black Emperor albums

Swedes to Swedish

Propose renaming

Extended content

Nominator's rationale: Rename. This is one in a series of similar proposals. Propose changing "Swedes" to "Swedish people" in order to conform with the parents Category:Swedish people and Category:Swedish people by ethnic or national origin. Not all nationalities have an appropriate "noun-form" that can be used, so using "Fooian people" is able to bring cross-category and cross-nationality consistency in these categories. I realise "Swedes" is shorter than "Swedish people", but in my opinion this benefit is outweighed by the greater benefit brought by inter-category constistencies. (Also note that Swede is ambiguous and often refers to rutabagas, as well as people from Sweden.) See previous discussion for more information.

Category:Lists of films by technical issue

Propose renaming Category:Lists of films by technical issue to Category:Lists of films by technology

Nominator's rationale: Rename to match parent category Category:Films by technology. My issue is with the use of the word "issue." It makes it sound, to me anyway, as if it's a list of films with technical problems. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 03:28, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bisexual models

Category:Bisexual models - Template:Lc1

Nominator's rationale: Redundant. Category:LGBT models already covers this. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 00:31, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cannara

2 articles for a low-importance rated article reguarding a little Italian commune. Is it really necessary by now ? It sounds like redundant. --95.233.86.129 (talk) 00:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bettona

4 articles for a low-importance rated article reguarding a little Italian commune. Is it really necessary by now ? It sounds like redundant. --95.233.86.129 (talk) 00:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bastia Umbra

3 articles for a low-importance rated article reguarding a little Italian commune. Is it really necessary by now ? It sounds like redundant. --95.233.86.129 (talk) 00:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note : It seems that the author of this categories, Francesco Betti Sorbelli, is creating alphabetically a category for each commune of the Province of Perugia (total : 59), due to his creations of articles reguaring its frazioni. Some categories, as for exemple Category:Cascia have got a strong reason to exist (16 articles), but 59 categories for each village are too much (eg: the Category:Cannara has got only 2 voices: Cannara and a frazione). Is the project reguarding categories for Italian municipalities so developped ? Mainly i've see that there are categories for cities and towns, mostly provincial seats. Avoiding misunderstandings, the works of Francesbo Betti Sorbelli creating articles are good; but the categories, simply created for 1, 2 or 3 voices of frazione, are redundant. Also on itwiki, the municipalities with categories in PG are simply nine (the most famous or important and only Perugia, Foligno and Assisi exist both on it and en). This project to create a category for an Italian municipality (also a low-important rated one) when it has only one related article could open the road to create, potentially, 8,101 categories. Reguarding the province of Perugia itself and its 59 municipalities, i've never found a county of USA or a shire of UK with all its municipalities with their own category. Well for the cities of Perugia, Foligno, Assisi; good for the populated cats of Cascia and Trevi; useful (but i'm not so sure) for Campello and Bevagna but all 59 are, by now, redundant. In a future, with the continuous development of enwiki, it could be normal... but now IMHO not. In a next future i could only suppose that the categories who could be created will reguard other important towns of this province as for exemple Spoleto, Gubbio, Città di Castello... Good work :-) --95.233.86.129 (talk) 00:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
