Category:Monster anime (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Another totally subjective category from User:Kid Sonic. The criteria he writes could fit any number of anime from Dragon Ball Z to Tenchi Muyo. Danny Lilithborne 23:08, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep it, No it can't. Dragonball Z mainly revolves around fighters and space. And Tenchi Muyo revolves around girls and space. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kid Sonic (talk • contribs)
- Comment "Anime that revolves around... fighting strange monsters from other universes." How does that not apply to many anime centered around fighting? Danny Lilithborne 21:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was rename both. the wub "?!" 11:07, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Nuclear power plants in the United States to Category:Nuclear power stations in the United States
- Category:Nuclear power plants in France to Category:Nuclear power stations in France
- Rename, to tie in with Category:Power stations in the United States, Category:Power stations in France, Category:Nuclear power stations by country and its other 28 subcategories. Brammen 22:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose until a standard is determined. See: category:Category:Power stations in the United States. It's a mixture of plant and station. See: Power station for comments concerning usage. Based on the article, I particularly oppose the US rename. - jc37 00:27, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename Power stations is fine in the U.S. Look how many of them have "station" in their names. Wilchett 01:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename. >Radiant< 13:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename. This was resolved in the last discussion. The category name was selected as power station since that is a common name used within the industry. The articles themselves use what ever is correct for each facility. Vegaswikian 05:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anthropomorphic comic book titles
[edit]- The following discussion is an archived debate regarding the category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was rename as follows:
- Category:Anthropomorphic comic book titles to Category:Comic books featuring anthropomorphic characters
- Category:Anthropomorphic films to Category:Films featuring anthropomorphic characters
- Category:Anthropomorphic television programs to Category:Television programs featuring anthropomorphic characters
- Category:Anthropomorphic comics to Category:Comic strips featuring anthropomorphic characters
since "featuring" seems to have a slight preference and no objections. the wub "?!" 20:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Anthropomorphic comic book titles to Category:Comic books which feature anthropomorphic characters
- Rename, The current category name makes it sound like the titles themselves are anthropomorphic. Also:
- Category:Anthropomorphic films to Category:Films which feature anthropomorphic characters
- Category:Anthropomorphic television programs to Category:Television programs which feature anthropomorphic characters
- Category:Anthropomorphic comics to Category:Comic strips which feature anthropomorphic characters
- Rename, per original nom Shannernanner 19:09, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose - I don't think that anyone looking at the cat names would be confused. Note: I placed them in their own sub-cat category:Anthropomorphism by media. - jc37 22:50, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename to Category:Comic books which feature anthropomorphic animals, not just characters.--Nydas 12:12, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, That's a narrower category, not all anthropomorphic characters are animals? Shannernanner 22:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, but all the entries in the category now are anthropomorphic animals, and let's face it, no-one's going to add, say, something like Astro Boy to this.--Nydas 18:43, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, Sorry, didn't see your reply. I don't see any reason to narrow the category names; and though, yes, currently the categories mostly consist of animals, the film category, for instance, does include Monsters, Inc. and Cars. Shannernanner 14:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Rename, could also make a case for deleting as trivia. >Radiant< 13:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename; except "comic book titles" --> "comic books" and "comics" --> "comic strips" lose something in the rename. It should be Category:Comic book titles which feature anthropomorphic characters and Category:Comics which feature anthropomorphic characters. Not every comic is a strip... etc. --Keitei (talk) 20:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, Was going by standard at Category:Comics. Comics are considered the blanket category for both comic books and comic strips; and to me, "Comic book titles which feature..." sounds like the titles themselves feature the characters, which is rather ambiguous (does the character's name have to be in the title?). Shannernanner 22:00, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- "which feature" → "featuring"...? David Kernow (talk) 03:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, Sure, doesn't make a difference to me. I noticed I typed some both ways on accident and changed them to all be the same. Shannernanner 10:07, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename all but change "which" to "that", meaning Category:Anthropomorphic films to Category:Films that feature anthropomorphic characters, Category:Anthropomorphic television programs to Category:Television programs that feature anthropomorphic characters and Category:Anthropomorphic comic book titles to Category:Comic books that feature anthropomorphic characters. — Reinyday, 19:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Comment, Okay, so what's the consensus on "which feature," "that feature," or "featuring"? I'm voting "featuring." Shannernanner 13:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - For grammar reasons, "which" is preferred to "that", in this case. I have no opinion whether "which feature" or "featuring" is better. (Though I am leaning towards the -ing verb.) - jc37 00:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename to Category:Comic book titles featuring anthropomorphic characters, as an aside, how anthropomorphized does a character need to be to have the title it's featured in included? Is the ability to speak enough to merit inclusion in this category? --NewtΨΦ 13:33, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Where are Maus and even all of the Disney titles (e.g. Donald Duck Adventures, DuckTales, Mickey Mouse Adventures)? This category, though possibly new, seems rather biased as is. --NewtΨΦ 13:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, I'm not sure what that has to do with naming conventions, but someone(s) has (have) been adding to this lately, but on some pages on my watch list anyway, someone has been mass reverting the category add, without a given reason. Shannernanner 18:32, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Doesn't have anything to do with naming conventions, it was more an issue with the category as it stood at the time of my posting. If you mean my earlier addendum to my "Rename" vote, I said that it was an aside. --NewtΨΦ 19:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Change both - While we have had issues trying to achieve consensus on how to standardize country/naval category names, the de facto standard has been to use the Cathead naval ships of template, which would be Category:Naval ships of Greece. As such, I would propose merging all members of Category:Hellenic Navy ships and Category:Ships of the Hellenic Navy into Category:Naval ships of Greece. --Kralizec!

Criteria seems to be absolutely subjective. The editor's idea of bug eyes is eyes that are solid and black. Delete Danny Lilithborne 01:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete What exactly is meant by "bug-eyed"? do they mean eyes that stick or bug out, or do they mean compound eyes like an insects? Also "solid and black" eyes does not mean "bug eyes" in any sense, unless they mean that their eyes resemble small insects, which is stupid.
- Comment: Bug-eyed means protruding or very wide eyed, as per this definition. It's a dictionary word, so the definition isn't the issue. The issue is, Will anyone find this a useful way of browsing articles? I don't think so either. — Reinyday, 20:00, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
