Nominator's rationale: Redundant and empty cat. There are no independent websites as such that are notable on their own and merit a website. Usually they are related to manufacturers or clubs, which get their own articles and cats. MSJapan 22:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete when was this category depopulated? How can someone tell if it has been empty for 4 days or not? My research seems to suggest that it never was populated, but I could be wrong. Anyway, delete per nom, possibly speedy.-Andrew c ^[talk] 00:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete - small category, contents are interlinked, doesn't seem necessary to have a category. Otto4711 21:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Categorizing people by specific affiliates does not work in the long term, as people may work for multiple affiliates (or for major national networks) during their careers. When such a system has been used, the resulting category clutter in individual articles make the category system difficult to use for navigation. Dr. Submillimeter 07:37, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete people move from station to station, programs also move, so this is not defining. Carlossuarez46 16:51, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete - absent the improper performer by performance category all that's left is the station's article. Category not warranted. Otto4711 21:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete - category is capturing personalities, music formats and the like, none of which warrants a category. Otto4711 21:27, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Categorizing people by specific affiliates does not work in the long term, as people may work for multiple affiliates (or for major national networks) during their careers.

Nominator's rationale: Delete - performer by performance overcategorization per many, many precedents. Otto4711 21:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest merging Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in West Midlands to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the West Midlands

Nominator's rationale: Merge, Duplication of maintenance only category, keeps photo requests together for area. Keith D 20:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Could this be a speedy? Carom 18:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 13:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Poorly named category. Implies that the computer killed the indvidual directly, and possible over-cat too Lugnuts 19:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete poorly named; how one dies is appropriate, but it looks like one guy died of a heart attack and the other by suicide and into those categories they should be placed, leaving this empty. Carlossuarez46 20:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I would have thought this category would have contained the Airbus A320 crash victims (ie. autopilot into ground), or the Theratech radiation overdose by mis-set dosage, ... 70.55.88.166 04:41, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This category is too subjective. It basically attempts to categorize people who died because of circumstances somehow related to computers. It should just be deleted. Dr. Submillimeter 07:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - maybe change "computer" to "computer use"?--75.37.15.195 08:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, death causes are a poor category inclusion criteria, try a list. -- Cat ^chi? 08:45, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Just to reply, note that Category:Deaths by cause is a currently accepted categorization scheme. So categorizing by cause of death is already done. That being said, this particular category isn't a valid cause of death. Dugwiki 15:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While Category:Deaths by cause is a legitimate categorization scheme, this particular subcategory isn't valid. The people in it didn't "die by computer use". They died from exhaustion or a heart attack or suicide, etc. Merge the articles into the other more appropriate cause of death subcategories and delete this one. Dugwiki 15:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete vaguely named category. Wryspy 00:45, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete - eponymous overcategorization of a single article. Otto4711 15:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete eponymous overcat; only article is the bio. Carlossuarez46 20:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, badly named, only current member (a director) is already in Category:Saudi Arabian film directors. -- Prove It ^(talk) 14:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an inappropriately blended category. An actors category can be recreated if one is needed. Otto4711 15:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Recipients of the Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medal to Category:Royal Philharmonic Society Gold Medallists

Nominator's rationale: Rename, proposed name is more brief and much more encyclopaedic in tone. emerson7

Delete as overcategorization by award, otherwise rename per nom. Otto4711 21:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename and Keep per nom; this is probably the oldest and most distinguished such award in classical music - only 90 recipients in 135 years. Johnbod 12:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:New Hampshire turnpikes to Category:Toll roads in New Hampshire

Propose renaming Category:English English to Category:English language in England

Nominator's rationale: Rename, English English sounds silly and is likely a neologism. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 08:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On looking at the article English English it appears that there is claim that this term has been used since 1984 and is now "generally recognised" in academic writing. I however cannot see any citations for this. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel 10:24, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. Oliver Han 12:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. --Chicaneo 15:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do Not Rename; the term "English English" is used all the time by world famous British dialectologist and sociolinguist Peter Trudgill; see e.g. Trudgill and Hannah, International English, Arnold. ---The user formerly known as JackLumber 22:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This term was used by George Bernard Shaw: I must, however, most vehemently disclaim any intention of suggesting that English pronunciation is authoritative and correct. My own tongue is neither American English nor English English, but Irish English... ---The user formerly known as JackLumber 23:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rename - Even if George Bernard Shaw used the term "English English", it would still be preferable to use a term that seems less silly. (Besides, Shaw wrote satire. Would you trust him to be a serious authority on what term should be used?) Dr. Submillimeter 10:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I would, definitely! But what about Trudgill? Trudgill was the first linguist to use the term on a regular basis, but what the hey---Wikipedia is full of articles whose titles are either neologisms or sheer original research, and this is clearly not the case. ---The user formerly known as JackLumber 13:07, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:The Universal Motown / Univeral Republic Group to Category:The Universal Motown/Universal Republic Group

Nominator's rationale: Rename, current category name is a misspelling FMAFan1990 01:37, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy rename for spelling and removing spaces around "/" to match lead article The Universal Motown/Universal Republic Group. Bencherlite ^Talk 10:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
