This has been created as a home for people of other nationalities than the Americans in Category:Color commentators and the Canadians in Category:Colour commentators (both are up for renaming so the links may go red). But it actually only contains three British people. I don't think it is necessary to try to export the distinction to countries where it isn't used. It is simpler to keep the British people in Category:British sports broadcasters as the terminology used in the UK is rather varied and inconsistent broadcaster collects all the relevant people in one place. The same would apply to other countries. Merge Osomec 22:42, 14 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]
- Comment Pundit is definitely a clearly distinct role in UK broadcasting; there is a definite difference between a pundit and a general sports broadcaster (albeit pundits are a subset of broadcasters). Pundits are normally ex-sportspersons and bring an in-depth knowledge to a particular sport; broadcasters may be ex-sportspersons but they are not necessarily so and may often present a variety of sports; they also do not necessarily play the role of expert that the pundit plays. Someone's punditry is often only a minor aspect of their overall notability (e.g. Ron Atkinson is more notable as a football manager than as a TV pundit) whereas most broadcasters are notable primarily as broadcasters. I agree that this cat is not necessary as all pundits are broadcasters (hence I am not opposing the merge), but it seems to me it could be a valuable subcat if renamed "British television sports pundits" and made a subcat of Category:British sports broadcasters and I would support this if others agree there is a useful distinction to be made. Valiantis 15:27, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge as proposed. It will be much more useful to divide British sports broadcasters by sport than by type, and this has been started with the football category. Doing both would surely be over the top. Hawkestone 20:24, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename to Category:British television sports pundits, as suggested by User:Valiantis. i created this cat page as a British companion the one for colo(u)r commentators and agree with what User:Valiantis says here above. many analysts do not give play by play and this distinction is a useful to make. i also support that there ultimately should be sub-catting by sport where possible, although many north american announcers cover various sports (whereas pundits obviously stick to their's) Mayumashu 02:33, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was no consensus. Syrthiss 04:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
All of the people in "celebrity duos" could just as easily be in just "Duos", since in order to be included in Wikipedia at all, you have to be notable (or basically have some level of celebrity). Most of the items in "celebrity duos" are redundant with other "duos" subcats, such as "Sibling duos" (ie - Evan and Jaron and the Olsen twins). If there is any theme to "celebrity duos" at all, several are comedy duos, but there are many musical, writing, and other type of duos there as well. Yin and Yang (the easter symbol) are even in there. The term "celebrity" clarifies nothing, and everything in there really belongs in simply "duos" or in one of the "duos" subcat.Esprit15d 21:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]
- Unfortunately, we have Category:Celebrities. As long as that stands, so can this. Postdlf 21:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this is a separate issue. I have no problem with the "Celebrity" category, since there are many things in WP that aren't celebrities, so that actually narrows down something. It's just that here, we have two cateogories ("Duos" and "celebrity duos") serving the exact same function, listing duos or all kinds, and one is more accurately named than the other. To illustrate, yin and yang (the eastern symbol) is in celebrity duos. Bascially, "celebrity duos" is a clearing house of redudancy for items that either already are or should be in other more specific categories or simply in "duos."--Esprit15d 22:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Precedent says that lists or categories combining two otherwise unrelated characteristics aren't encyclopedic, but just trivia which WP:NOT. Barno 23:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Absolutely, but I don't think that applies here, because the included articles are on people who are celebrities as duos. It isn't like it's Category:Roman Catholic duos or Category:Duos, at least one of whom loves cats. Postdlf 23:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some of these really aren't bands, but even the bands would fit under the umbrella of musical groups. Many categories follow the "musical group" naming system, since it is the broadest term. Esprit15d 21:28, 14 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

The old name doesn't convey that the list is in the televions category heirarchy and is only intended for episodes of televison series. JeffW 19:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Support any rename that includes "television series" in the title. Postdlf 21:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Can "Episode lists" include anything other than television series and movie serials? If not, it seems like the previous title is fine. But I'm not opposed to the change.--Mike Selinker 15:35, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The vast majority are lists of tv series episodes. I went through them all and there were one or two each of lists of machinima episodes, flash cartoon episodes, radio episodes or webisodes which I moved to the correct category and for some of them created a category. --JeffW 18:33, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure, of course. I didn't think of radio or the web. Well, either we accept this category as being more inclusive or make the change you suggest, and I'm fine with the latter. So support.--Mike Selinker 06:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Category is empty, and IMHO invalid as a category. A relevant article Irish Guards already exists. Yendor1958 16:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw nomination. Having looked at the example suggested by SoLando I withdraw this nomination. Although by the time They have finished amalgamating and renaming, there could be some very complicated nested categories. Should the pages in Category:The King's Regiment also go in in a new category for Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (King's Lancashire and Border) for example? --Yendor1958 12:11, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Related to the proposal below. West Greece is a periphery (region), and Wikipedia naming policy is Natives of (region). So Rename.

Empty and redundant with the corresponding "Unincorporated communities in..." categories, as "village" is not an official designation in either state. For those unfamiliar with this topic and categorization scheme, a "village" is a particular class of municipalities in many states, and so its use as a generic term for "unincorporated community" is disfavored as ambiguous and unnecessary.

Delete useless, arbitrary category, apparently meant for any place that could be used for recreation. Which is really any place that has hiking, fishing, skiing, biking, rock climbing...in other words, any named place that will have an article.

Has been sitting in the "undecided" pile for ages on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories), and so I'm trying to get a bit of movement on the last outliers. (1) All the subcats are formatted in the "nationality xx" format (2) it contains nationalities not neccessarily linked to countries (ie Category:Roma culture, Category:Sahrawi culture) and (3) Socio-cultural topics are explicitly listed on naming conventions as to be maintained as "by nationality" groups.
