*'''Rename:''' the problem with this is not that it's a bad category (it's useful to have these laws in one place in the encyclopedia) but that the name assumes that what gay people and their allies call "gay rights" '''are''' rights in the first place, and so it's POV. Perhaps it could be renamed as something like "laws about LGBTs" and include both sides, or as "anti-LGBT laws" and have its contents remain the same. The problem with calling it "pro-marriage" is that it's only pro-marriage in general '''if''' gay marriage is a threat to all marriage, which few (if any) people in favor of gay marriage believe.

:*:*Partially correct. Merge would be inappropriate because it would keep all the POV that was eliminated with [[User:harry491|Dave]] and my resolution regarding the change of name of the sub-category here from [[:Category:Anti-gay rights legislation]] to [[:Category:LGBT-related laws]]. We made that page an NPOV page similar to [[:Category:Family_law]].

In short, any such category must be about laws, not people.

Same reason as shown for Category: Record label artists. While I personally am a fan of this label, I feel it is NPOV to favor this small label ahead of others in categorizing, and I do not feel it fair to add hundreds of hours of work for others trying to add label categories to every artist. The clutter at the bottom of article pages resulting from adding 5 to 15 record labels for each artist that has been on different labels would be ridiculous. Use list format or article on the label and mention a particularly strong label connection in the artist's article if a link is desired; that's enough.

This item was recently created by a new user enamored of three minor indie recording labels, (the only three listed on the page so far) who thought this would be useful for the articles artists they knew of on the labels. However, this person did not consider the additional work this would cause other Wikipedians trying to be consistent and NPOV (not favoring the interests of three particular labels) because there are scores of recording labels and hundreds of recording artists that we would have to start doing this categorizing for, not just the three minor labels this person is a fan of. Also, although the person creating the category, who is a loyal fan of three particular labels they favor, did not realize this, most recording artists are not the property of one particular label throughout their careers. While there are a handful who stick with one or two labels their whole careers, most artists have been on 6 or 7 (or more) minor and major labels, both in Europe and the U.S. So not only does this parent category and the three minor label child categories the person created lead to a ton of work for other people trying to start categories for all the other hundreds of artist articles at Wikipedia already existing, but each artist is usually affiliated with several labels, not just the single label envisioned by the person creating the category. For instance for the 4AD label artists listed, some have also been on labels like Sire and Rykodisc, among others. Yet this person favored the label they personally liked and didn't start a Sire and Rykodisc category. I believe that this record label fan interest is better for individual record label history pages and List formats, but not categories for music artists. Using category format for this subjectt favors certain labels too much, is NPOV, and most importantly leads to much work for others extending this idea to all other artists. Better to stick to articles and lists for this subject and the three child categories I will list in a minute. The longer this is left unattended, the more work and confusion for others will result. I discovered it when the "4AD Records artist" category was added to two artist articles I authored and edited. Both of the artists have been on other larger labels as well, but the other labels are not given categories. The amount of unnecessary work leaving this new parent category and its subcategories up will create is staggering to consider (think of all the major and minor labels in existence the past 50 years!!!), plus it will lead to a heap of category text at the bottom of articles. Any important label affiliation can be listed in an article without categories needed. [[User:Emerman|Emerman]] 00:53, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

This should be outright deleted or merged with the [[:Category:United States musicians]] which predated it by six months. The American musicians category is a duplicate created by mistake. I depopulated it already because it's a duplication. People worrying about it in the past on the Talk page didn't realize that because it was a duplicate, the solution was this simple. Eventually the other "American" categories should be changed for consistency because United States is more specific, but I'm not listing this one for deletion for that reason; the reason here is duplication of an already existing, preferable category name. If we don't delete it or otherwise "merge" it, it will continue to be used by people occasionally unaware of the United States musicians category who see a blue link when they use American musicians as the category.[[User:Emerman|Emerman]] 00:37, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

*'''Keep''' "American musicians" and '''Delete''' United States musicians instead. "American", when applied as an adjective to a person, refers to the United States not only in English but as a cognate in many other languages as well. "United States" is furthermore simply not an adjective. [[User:Postdlf|Postdlf]] 18:29, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC) |

**While you do have a point, most such categories are in fact named [[United States <foo>]] rather than [[American <foo>]]. Also, strictly, speaking, 'America' refers to the entire continents of North and South America, both of which are somewhat larger than the US.

**Also, as pointed out in previous similar debates here, "American" ''is'' used to refer to the continents as a whole, even though this usage is a minority one. As such, for the sake of both consistency and clarity, I vote '''delete'''. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]... |
