Speedy Per WP:C2D, facilitating concordance between a particular category's name and a related article's name. The main article is long-standing and non-controversial. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:34, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Fictional characters portrayed by Peter Dinklage (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: A "performances by performer" category, kind of the reverse that is discussed in WP:PERFCAT. In the past, we have deleted similar categories, such as those for Leslie Nielsen, Johnny Depp, Billy West, and Steven Blum. All of those discussions are relatively old, so maybe it's time to reassess if this is still the consensus. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 09:50, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Those discussions may be old, but there was a very clear consensus to delete. DexDor^(talk) 10:39, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - whilst we're on the subject, these might be worthy of consideration : Category:Fictional characters portrayed by Tim Curry, Category:Fictional characters portrayed by Christopher Lee, Category:Fictional characters portrayed by Johnny Depp, Category:Fictional characters portrayed by Harrison Ford, Category:Fictional characters portrayed by Bryan Cranston, Category:Fictional characters portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, Category:Fictional characters portrayed by David Carradine Le Deluge (talk) 11:44, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If we have articles on stand-up characters someone has created like Jeff Dunham's puppets, I can see a category. But all of the above should go. Hamlet is not defined by each actor that played him. RevelationDirect (talk) 13:38, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment These are all new categories, created by User:Americanfreedom. The oldest one dates from May 29 and all the others were created on July 8. I have no particular stance on their creation, but we currently have no category tree to cover them and I can not think of a precedent. Dimadick (talk) 22:54, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The other categories are now at CFD. DexDor^(talk) 10:18, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I would be in favour of adding something formal to WP:OCAT to discourage these. Oculi (talk) 12:32, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is like a mirror reflection of WP:PERFCAT. RevelationDirect (talk) 13:36, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm going to repeat what I said to User:Le_Deluge on my talk page I created these categories because I was unaware that a decade earlier a bunch of categories of this type were deleted. I noticed this when I went to create an "fictional characters by actor" category. I almost recreated that category thinking some admin would see it and have a talk with other admins on what the pertinent course of should would be. Anyway, I have no strong opinions one way or the other whether or not these categories should be deleted, just wanted to share my side of things. Americanfreedom (talk) 04:42, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this appears to be an (extreme) case of (inappropriately) attempting to create lists using the category system (e.g. articles such as List of The Boondocks characters have been placed in these categories). DexDor^(talk) 10:18, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
'Delete all of them - this should be addressed explicitly in OCAT. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 01:55, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 15:29, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:North Shore City to Category:North Shore, New Zealand

Nominator's rationale: North Shore City was amalgamated into Auckland City in 2010 - its current name is simply North Shore. Key article is now at North Shore, New Zealand. Grutness...wha? 02:21, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rename per nom. Makes sense to rename it at this stage; as noted, has been named "North Shore" since 2010, though article was only just renamed. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 02:40, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom, makes sense. We should do something similar with Category:Waitakere City.-gadfium 03:46, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Good point. Grutness...wha? 08:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
