*'''Delete''' per nom and per [[WP:V]] issues. I'm also uncertain if the criteria of 8 inches truly counts as a point over which a penis counts as "unusually large"; with the average according to [[human penis size]] saying 5 to 6 inches, my gut says more like 9 inches or above counts as unusual. If it turns there are votes to keep (which seem unlikely at this point), then I would rather it be kept under AnonEMouse's suggestion of ''keep but refocus'' than just a straight keep.

Revision as of 16:37, 29 July 2007
July 29
NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Misspelled article titles
- Category:Misspelled article titles ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Merge into Category:Redirects from misspellings, since it should only contain redirects. Misspelled articles should just be renamed, not added to this category. -- Prove It (talk) 13:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Category: Information economics
I'm nominating Category:Information economics for deletion. The category only has one article in it besides the main article; and the main article is misleadingly and confusingly named, per the comments at Talk:Information economics. Jeremy Tobacman 12:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Category:Universities and colleges in Abia State
- Suggest merging Category:Universities and colleges in Abia State to Category:Universities and colleges in Nigeria
- Nominator's rationale: Merge, this category and similar ones are too small so this is over categorization. Bduke 11:40, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Include also all other state categories in Nigeria:
- Category:Universities and colleges in Adamawa State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Akwa Ibom State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Anambra State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Bauchi State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Borno State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Cross River State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Ebonyi State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Edo State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Ekiti State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Enugu State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria
- Category:Universities and colleges in Kaduna State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Kano State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Kogi State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Kwara State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Lagos State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Ogun State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Ondo State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Osun State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Oyo State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Plateau State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Rivers State
- Category:Universities and colleges in Sokoto State
- Merge as nominator. Most of these categories contain only one entry and the largest number is 4. They are never likley to get much larger. Bduke 12:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Merge all to Category:Universities and colleges in Nigeria per nom. The total number of colleges isn't large enough to justify this many subcats. If there were hundreds of colleges, dividing them by state would make sense. -- Prove It (talk) 13:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Category:Men with unusually large penis
- Category:Men with unusually large penis - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: I speedy deleted this category but I think I was wrong to and per the creator's request I have undeleted it and am nominating it for deletion. I believe this is overcategorisation in that it contains an arbitrary inclusion criterion ("men with penis size over 8 inches"), is trivia, and the title ("unusually large") is probably POV. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 11:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete as arbitrary inclusion standards and also WP:V issues. Otto4711 12:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Having created this category in conjunction with the section Human penis size#Men famous for their large penis, I would like to explain my action. First, I'll mention that that section has also met resistance from another user who has removed it twice. The discussion at Talk:Human penis size will provide my rationale and, I think, will elucidate the problems which AnemoneProjectors sees with the current nominated category.
- Phallic worship has been a strong motivating factor, albeit mostly unconsciously, in human cultures always. Unfortunately Wikipedia does not have a good article on this despite many books available to source it. So far the topic of penile largeness and everything associated with it, has been left unattended and obviously unsupervised, relegated to the discretion of arbitrary contributors to articles on male porn stars. This has led to the discrepancies and sometimes, I'm sure, unreliable claims upon which this category is based. However, I would urge the community to see the category (as well as the above mentioned article section) as starting points for a much needed work of harmonizing criteria and applying quality control to these articles. Deleting the category (and article section) will diffuse attention once again, removing a strong incentive for the needed clean-up.
- I set an "arbitrary" inclusion limit, however, it can be changed following discussion. This should not constitute reason for deletion. Such a discussion may lead to more "scientific" and neutral criteria, i.e. setting the limit based upon an average of the known numbers set for the mean size of of a human penis (discussed in detail in the article Human penis size) and a given percentage above that, perhaps leading to a renaming of the category at that time. I would encourage editors to see this as a work in progress and allow time for needed discussions and clean-up, and see if the situation becomes acceptable when this has taken place. If then, this part of Wikipedia still is as messy as it is currently, we can delete then. __meco 12:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- There is no standard for "unusually large" that is objective. Whatever size you set is going to be arbitrary. Otto4711 12:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- There may always be a murky border area, however, I at least do not think that should be prohibitive for having such a category. I also think it would be considered very helpful for people investigating the subject of penis size which should weigh in more than the presented problem of setting a limit. __meco 13:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, or at the very least Rename to Category:Men with an unusually large penis. I think this subject is more suitable for a well referenced article, rather than a category. -- Prove It (talk) 13:21, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- 'Keep but refocus to Men famous for a large penis. There really are a number of people for whom this was an important, or even the most important, characteristic of their notability: John Holmes, Ron Jeremy, Long Dong Silver (from the Clarence Thomas#Anita Hill controversy), etc. That also removes any issues of verifiable measurement or arbitrary limit - we don't care how long the member actually is, just that it got Wikipedia:verifiable notoriety as being long. On the other hand, though, this will exclude people who happen to have unusual measurements but aren't particularly notable for them. For example, most male pornographic actors assert above average dimensions, but we don't want to make this a copy of Category:Male porn stars, so I would remove, for example, Mike Branson, Rex Chandler, etc. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 13:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and Otto4711. 72.76.85.187 14:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Think this would be better as a list, not a category. Then it could be more accurately sourced. Porn star "measurements" seem to rarely be reliable, being part of the mystique that sells their movies. Most of the measurements in articles currently should be deleted anyway, due to not being verified. But that's another issue... -Ebyabe 15:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and per WP:V issues. I'm also uncertain if the criteria of 8 inches truly counts as a point over which a penis counts as "unusually large"; with the average according to human penis size saying 5 to 6 inches, my gut says more like 9 inches or above counts as unusual. If it turns there are votes to keep (which seem unlikely at this point), then I would rather it be kept under AnonEMouse's suggestion of keep but refocus than just a straight keep. Tabercil 16:37, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Category:Former Towns of RSK 1991-95
- Category:Former Towns of RSK 1991-95 - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: This category is a nonsenical offensive POV, the same category was already two times (speedy) deleted and now the same vandal using his sockpuppets creates it again. No.13 09:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Incorporations
- Category:2006 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
and Category:2005 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:2003 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:1991 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:1938 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:1911 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:1901 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:1888 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:1847 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Category:1833 incorporations ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: See Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 September 26#Category:Incorporations by year where it was agreed that the distinction between incorporation and establishment was not really needed. Tim! 09:29, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per Tim and pervious discussion. ×Meegs 10:16, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per Tim! and nom. Onnaghar (Talk) 12:43, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Category:Soviet propagandists
- Category:Soviet propagandists - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: The category is very POV. People who are propaganists according to some are genuine writers, journalists, politicians according to the others. The way the creator put people in the categories seems to be arbitrary. Why e.g. Konstantin Chernenko is here but Joseph Stalin or Leonid Brzhnev not? Why Vladimir Mayakovsky is here and Demyan Bedny is not? Alex Bakharev 06:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Category:Russian propagandists
- Category:Russian propagandists - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: The category is very POV. People who are propaganists according to some are genuine writers, journalists, politicians according to the others Alex Bakharev 06:58, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - many people have different viewpoints. A debate would occur. Onnaghar (Talk) 12:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
