Category:MPs elected in UK elections
- Propose renaming Category:MPs elected in UK elections to
Category:Lists of MPs elected in UK electionsCategory:Lists of MPs elected in UK general elections (adjustment made per discussion) - Nominator's rationale: Rename. It is a category for lists and describes itself as such. Its parents is Category:Lists of United Kingdom MPs. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:55, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- comment ...maybe I'm missing something, but doesn't Category:Lists of United Kingdom MPs cover Category:Lists of MPs elected in UK elections? As in, to be a MP, you have to be elected? Or is there a Category: Lists of United Kingdom MPs not elected in UK elections for those appointe to fill out terms and whatnot? - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 00:30, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- I think the distinction is just that these lists don't include those elected in by-elections that are held at a time other than the general election. These by-elections would occur if an MP died or resigned in the middle of a Parliament. I suppose by-elections are still UK elections, but I think the meaning that is intended is "Lists of MPs elected in UK general elections". If this is thought to be a problem, perhaps we should rename to Category:Lists of MPs elected in UK general elections. |Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:39, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks, that makes more sense. I can Support renaming to Category:Lists of MPs elected in UK general elections, then. - The Bushranger Return fireFlank speed 00:48, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

- Rename to Category:Lists of MPs elected in UK general elections per above. Occuli (talk) 09:30, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Wouldn't Category:Lists of UK MPs by general election be clearer? Mangoe (talk) 20:56, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, I think that could work too. The current name seems to be simply patterned after the name of the articles, each of which involves the phrase "MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, XXXX". Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:05, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Category:Criminal defense attorneys
- Propose renaming Category:Criminal defense attorneys to Category:Criminal defense lawyers
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. To match main article Criminal defense lawyer. "Attorney" is generally only used in the U.S. and a few other jurisdictions; "lawyer" is much more widespread. It is a subcategory of Category:Lawyers by type. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:50, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Support In England, the profession is not divided formally into prosecution and defence solicitors or barristers, but in some countries it is. "Lawyers" is a better global term. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:38, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Category:Sporting 89' players
- Propose renaming Category:Sporting 89' players to Category:Sporting San Miguelito players
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The team formerly known as Sporting '89 is now Sporting San Miguelito. (If kept for some reason, the apostrophe in the current name is misplaced—should be Category:Sporting '89 players.) Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Category:Jewish people
- Propose renaming Category:Jewish people to Category:Jews
- Nominator's rationale: Category:Jews was previously renamed to Category:Jewish people per this discussion, the DRV of which has been closed as overturn and relist. Procedural nomination only, I am neutral. Tim Song (talk) 21:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Support "Jews" is a perfectly good noun describing persons of Jewish religion or ethnicity without the unnecessary addition of "people". Likewise for Germans, Americans (and many more), but not French (Frenchmen); likewise we have Spaniards and Scots, but Englishmen, Welshmen, and Irishmen (and women), so that in these cases "people" is needed to cover both sexes. This is a typcial case of trying to make one size fit all. This is frequently attempted in WP, but only has the effect of distorting the language. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:10, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Support and Rename to Category:Jews only, per nominator, for the reasons cited at the original recent Deletion Review: This long-time category was named Category:Jews since 9 June 2004 [4] to the satisfaction of all editors, particularly experienced and knowledgeable Judaic editors. Suddenly on 10 March 2010, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 March 10#People by ethnicity - Fooians to Fooian people, a barely noticed but sweeping decision was made by a tiny handful of editors, without serious input and discussion from Judaic editors or digging into this at WP:TALKJUDAISM, the long-established Category:Jews was redirected to the new Category:Jewish people, sweeping six years of consensus aside with abruptness and now trying to apply it to other Jews categories. This is wrong for many reasons and should be reversed and overturned and because of the complexity of this topic, these are some of the main reasons: (1) First off, there are over 38 million Google hits for "Jews" but a little over 3 million for "Jewish people", "Jews" outnumbers "Jewish people" 12 to 1. (2) The term "Jews" is not offensive and Jews ARE Jewish "people" -- that's what "Jews" means. (3) This flouts the correct English proper noun and 100% correct translation for the Hebrew word and proper noun for the word Jews = יְהוּדִים Yehudim (singular: Yehudi) and the Yiddish word for Jews = Yidden יידן (singular: Yid) and in all languages Jews are called Jews and not Jewish "people" that defies logic, history, facts, reality, truth and much more. (4) At times Jews or things connected with them are described in adjectival terms as being "Jewish" meaning "of the Jews" or "about the Jews" or "concerning the Jews" but the main subject is always "Jew/s". (5) The usage of the term "Jewish this-and-that" is sometimes helpful and sometimes just wasteful circumlocution, but the correct name for Jews is Jews! (6) In the bulk of the sub-categories in Category:Jews the term "Jews" predominates and correctly so. (7) It would also seriously mess up the fact that Category:Jews is the first half of the key parent category Category:Jews and Judaism. (8) Jews are not an ethnicity as such, see the Jews and Judaism articles to better grasp this. (9) To push all Jews into an "ethnicity" category is a violation of WP:NEO and WP:MADEUP and even of WP:NOR. Wikipedia cannot take on itself to decide serious matters of theology and peoplehood and dump topics relating to "Jews" into categories that are totally incorrect and wasteful. Jews are members of a religion, known as Judaism, and they are also part of a "nation" or as some would have it an "ethnicity" but they cannot be split, unlike Christians who are only part of a religion called Christianity and do not belong to an ethnicity unlike Jews who by definition are both part of a religious group as well as a national/ethnic/cultural group. (10) For this kind of serious discussion relating to the complex subject of Jews and Judaism there should have been very long and highly serious input requested from learned and highly experienced Judaic editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism many of whom are highly skilled editors some are admins, fully aware of this subject matter. IZAK (talk) 23:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Support The term Jew has a long history of usage, nothing pejorative about it. The original change was part of a larger change that may have made sense for the other categories, but Jew is a special case. Torchiest (talk | contribs) 00:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Category:Music genre compilation albums
- Propose merging Category:Music genre compilation albums to Category:Compilation albums by genre

Category:University of the South alumni
- Nominator's rationale: Delete Category:University of the South alumni. This is a redundant category. The appropriate category already exists under the schools proper name, Category:Sewanee: The University of the South. Jared Cramer (talk) 18:02, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Delete – nom is correct. Occuli (talk) 00:38, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Category:Jewish American film directors
- Category:Jewish American film directors - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Fails WP:OC: Non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation / Intersection by location. Rob Sinden (talk) 10:57, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Delete This category might make sense if it focused on Jewish American film directors who have made films pertaining to Judaism, but then the category name would still be imprecise. That idea would be better served as a list anyway, I would think. -- doorautomatica (talk) 13:54, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- Strong Keep.
1. Nationality. The Jews are a nation, not just a religion. Jews are members of the Jewish people (also known as the Jewish nation). The Wiki definition of "nationality" states, inter alia: "Generally, nationality is established at birth by a child's place of birth (jus soli) and/or bloodline (jus sanguinis)." In the (abnormal) case of Jews, who consist of a nation that has largely been dispersed from its homeland, it would not be appropriate to delete.
Other religions are in the "normal case" distinct from the nation. In other words, there was not a Protestant, or Buddhist, or Christian, or Hindu, or Aethiest nation per se. They are not a "people." They are not a "nation." Jews, peculiarly, are not just a religion. They are also a nation. Dispersed (largely) for a couple of thousand years.
2. Notability. Wiki policy calls for a sensitivity towards "notability." To determine what notability means here, one must go to Wikipedia:Notability (people), the notability criteria guideline for Wikipedia. That guideline states, inter alia, that "Notability on Wikipedia for people is based on the following criterion: The person has been a primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, scholarly papers, and television documentaries ...."
Thus, where one is noted as being a Jew in multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the person, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, and the like, they meet the notability requirement. And thus it would be appropriate to have a distinct category.
That the intersection is notable is clear to anyone familiar with the area, or who does a google search. Entire books have been written on the intersection. As American Jewish filmmakers, by David Desser and Lester D. Friedman
3. See also Wiki Naming Convention Policy 3.3, which demonstrates that something such as this is clearly contemplated, saying ...
Heritage People are sometimes categorized by notable ancestry, culture, or ethnicity, depending upon the common conventions of speech for each nationality. A hyphen is used to distinguish the word order: ....The heritage should be combined with the occupation, replacing the nationality alone (for example, Category:African-American actors).
Concurrent citizenship may be reflected by duplicating the occupation (for example, Category:Jewish American actors and Category:Israeli actors)."
- Per Wikipedia:Categorization of people, Wikipedia also "supports categorizing People by religion. Also, as it states "People are usually categorized by their nationality and occupation, such as Category:Ethiopian musicians."
- Furthermore, per Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality, "General categorization by ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexuality is permitted', with the following considerations:
- Terminology must be neutral....
- Subcategories by country are permitted, although terminology must be appropriate to the person's cultural context....
- Inclusion must be justifiable by external references. (For example: regardless of whether you have personal knowledge of a notable individual's sexual orientation, they should only be filed in a LGBT-related category after verifiable, reliable sources have been provided in the article that support the assertion.) People who occupy the grey areas are not a valid argument against the existence of the category at all; if they don't fit, they just shouldn't be added to it."
- Furthermore, per Wikipedia:Categorization/Ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality, "General categorization by ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexuality is permitted', with the following considerations:
- Clearly, this category is just the sort contemplated by Wikipedia guidelines.
The Jewish ethnicity, nation, and religion of Judaism are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation.[1][2][3]

- Wow - Impressive response. However, whilst I could accept that Category:American film directors,
Category:Jewish film directorsand Category:American Jews may be valid categories, is the INTERSECTION necessary, or is this a case of overcategorisation? Rob Sinden (talk) 08:15, 11 May 2010 (UTC)- Ah - It would seem that previously Category:Jewish film directors was deleted after prior discussion, so by that reckoning, Category:Jewish American film directors is definitely overcategorisation. Rob Sinden (talk) 08:22, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks Rob. I would chalk that up to the vagaries of this process, as not all editors are involved in each discussion. Frankly, this type of CfD comes up frequently, and some editors (me included) get bored with it after a while, and then some deletions slip in. It's not like the US Supreme Court, where the same justices (or those who replace them) review all the cases, leading to consistency. In fact, it would be best IMHO to just have an understanding that -- for the above reasons -- the intersection is as notable as an intersection with nationality in general. In category after category one will find more RS support for that than, say, "Monaco scientists", or "Malta film directors" or "Luxembourg windsurfers".--Epeefleche (talk) 21:55, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- But we're talking about an additional intersection here. Whether or not you count Judaism as a nationality, "Jewish American", cannot be counted as such. Rob Sinden (talk) 08:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

- Keep. Not only do I find Epeefleche's arguments convincing, there are over 160 articles in this category, which means that a large number of Wiki users also considered this category of value. Davshul (talk) 16:13, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'd like to point out that all these additions could heve been made by one, or a handful of editors. Rob Sinden (talk) 08:04, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Delete. If Category:Jewish film directors was deleted as an overcategorization (and correctly so), then this certainly is an overcategorization. Jayjg (talk) 01:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
- Comment -- But if it wasn't done "correctly so", which for the reasons expressed above I maintain is the case, we should not compound the error but making it twice.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:52, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Delete. We don't normally categorize based on allegations. I suspect that there are also POV issues at play here. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:31, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- delete - as per nom. In addition i would mention that most entries in this category are simply redirects e.g Suspect safe house, Bosnia - Hamza Al Ghamdi House - Suspect guest house - Al-Kuaiti House. IQinn (talk) 05:51, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Category:Shelters
- Category:Shelters - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Grouping of unlike items. What do an animal shelter, a bed and breakfast and the space station have in common? The main article is a dab page. If you stretch the point here, everything in Category:Buildings and structures is a shelter. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
- keep as is or rename This deletion focus is too narrow. A category named Category:Shelters or Category:Human shelters is needed as a major subcat of Category:Human habitats to implement the structure outlined in Human habitat. Minor pruning to the category contents is needed. Hmains (talk) 03:25, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This seems to me to be way overbroad—it's part overcategorization by shared name and part application to whatever—and it's not exactly clear to me where we would do minor pruning if we wanted to. As nom notes, this category as it stands now can apply to pretty much anything in Category:Buildings and structures and more. This category could best be utilized as a disambiguation category for Category:Homeless shelters, Category:Women's shelters, Category:Shelters built or used by animals, Category:Air-raid shelters, and perhaps any other category that uses the word "shelter".
