Nominator's rationale: Afaics there is no difference in meaning between "media file" and "file". Note: before the proposed upmerge the "See ..." paragraph of the category text should be moved to the target category. DexDor (talk) 22:19, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in this area, all files are media so the intended distinction adds nothing but redundancy. SFB 14:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Wikipedia images in SVG format. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 22:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category's current name looks like a content category (it is not clearly a wp administration category). The proposed name would be more consistent with Category:Wikipedia images available as SVG, Category:Images that should be in SVG format etc. DexDor (talk) 21:57, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Something The category should definitely start with "Wikipedia". No opinion on what comes next.RevelationDirect (talk) 02:39, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename' to Category:Wikipedia images in SVG format. Invalid ones should be placed in the maintenance categories which can be a child of this new category. This will by default mean that invalid files are not directly in the cominated category and all contents will be in the valid format. SFB 14:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Images of 1978[edit]

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is (afaics) the only "Images of <year>" category in en wp and it only contains a single file (Microsoft-Staff-1978.jpg). DexDor (talk) 20:57, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support this level of detail is not helping navigation as it stands. As per my previous comments, I think using the year is often not very definitive and further subdivision by genre (e.g. Category:Images of war in the 20th century) would gather content in a much more useful way. SFB 14:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment there are so many images of the 20th century, surely a division by decade would be necessary just for organizational purposes. -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 04:39, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
En wp does have many thousands of images of the 20th century (e.g. most of the images in Category:Screenshots of television), but editors have overwhelmingly chosen to categorize images by subject and not by year/decade. DexDor (talk) 08:24, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The images are just incompletely categorized then, needing additional categorization. -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 12:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you think these images "need" additional categorization ? - they are already categorized by subject (nature, sport etc) and (where appropriate) by location. Note also that these images only exist in wp so that they can be placed in articles so (unlike on Commons or for wp articles) only editors are expected to be looking at these categories - Category:Wikipedia images is an administration category. Images could also be categorized by date, but (unless someone is willing to do all the categorization) a largely incomplete category is worse than no category. If we were to categorize images by date then we would also have to consider (for example) how to categorize a photo taken in 2015 of an object (e.g. a building or a portrait) from decades earlier ? DexDor (talk) 15:15, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The date a photo was taken can be used to check against copyright expiration. Years that they are taken can also be used to check for event photos of that year, to see if a suitable image exists without needing to upload another. Our images are mostly incompletely categorized, so the existing trees already are incomplete by topic. Thus having a date available would let us have a different method to find appropriate images. -- 65.94.40.137 (talk) 04:49, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the images-by-subject tree is very incomplete (this can be shown by seeing how a sample of random files are categorized), but it does contain tens of thousands of images compared with just 11 in the images-by-time category tree (approx 0.001% of wp images). Images-by-time would be a fine way to categorize images if editor time was available to populate/maintain it, but the evidence indicates that there isn't. DexDor (talk) 09:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The purpose of the category system does not extend to the technical information on the file relating to copyright expiration. SFB 12:38, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. As with the radio station categories currently under discussion on the January 3 log, the channel number that a television station happens to be located on is not a useful point of categorization. The substantive purpose of such a grouping would be to help people find a television station if they knew its channel number and location, so such material would be appropriately handled in a list — such lists already exist in Category:TV stations by channel number — but happening to broadcast on the same channel number is not a useful point of comparison across otherwise unrelated television stations, so it's not an appropriate or defining basis for a category. The value of the lists is the ability to provide additional details (i.e. city of license) to help people find a particular station if they don't know its call sign — but by virtue of its inability to add contextual cues, a category can't help with that. Per the rationale at Category talk:Canadian TV stations by channel number, further, the purpose of the categories was to take content load off the lists for size management purposes — but that's not a valid basis for a category in and of itself under our categorization rules. Accordingly, stations categorized here should be readded to the appropriate lists, and the categories themselves should be deleted. Bearcat (talk) 20:31, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify no objection to having this information in a list article but it doesn't aid navigation in the category space. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify as content is useful in terms of avoiding confusion between the subjects an delineating regions. Delete category as not suitable for navigation as this is not a definitive feature. SFB 14:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify -- I cannot see the purpose of such a category. A list will be much more satisfactory as it can provide further contnet in further columns. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:55, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:41, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Non-standard categorization pattern, from what I see there's no parent Category:Blocked websites by country. Brandmeistertalk 20:25, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm not sure what use a parent page would do. In the mean time it's a useful page for tracking notable sites blocked. I could probably create a similar one for China and Pakistan if that would standardise things better? Deku-shrub (talk) 22:42, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you are not sure why categories should have parent categories please read WP:CATEGORY before creating any more categories. Categories should be for permanent characteristics - not for tracking the current status of whether a website is blocked. DexDor (talk) 23:08, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. We have categories based on more defining characteristics (e.g. websites by country) and categorizing a website by every country that blocks it could add a lot of categories to some articles. Possibly listify. DexDor (talk) 23:08, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is not a defining characteristic of the websites, it can be a transient characteristic which is temporarily true but then becomes untrue again (which is not a useful basis for categorization), and encouraging this could lead to extreme category bloat as some websites are added to similar categories for three or five or ten or twenty different countries simultaneously. Bearcat (talk) 01:35, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per Bearcat's analysis. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:44, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Delete as non-defining and temporary, and also non-helpful as a country level division for a non-country-specific concept (cf. avoiding national categories for animals). Content coverage is fine as a list on the article. SFB 14:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. As with the radio station categories currently under discussion on the January 3 log, the channel number that a television station happens to be located on is not a useful point of categorization. The substantive purpose of such a grouping would be to help people find a television station if they knew its channel number and location, so such material would be appropriately handled in a list — such lists already exist in Category:TV stations by channel number — but happening to broadcast on the same channel number is not a useful point of comparison across otherwise unrelated television stations, so it's not an appropriate or defining basis for a category. The value of the lists is the ability to provide additional details (i.e. city of license) to help people find a particular station if they don't know its call sign — but by virtue of its inability to add contextual cues, a category can't help with that. Per the rationale at Category talk:Canadian TV stations by channel number, further, the purpose of the categories was to take content load off the lists for size management purposes — but that's not a valid basis for a category in and of itself under our categorization rules. Accordingly, stations categorized here should be readded to the appropriate lists, and the categories themselves should be deleted. Bearcat (talk) 20:12, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify no objection to having this information in a list article but it doesn't aid navigation in the category space. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:42, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify as content is useful in terms of avoiding confusion between the subjects an delineating regions. Delete category as not suitable for navigation as this is not a definitive feature. SFB 14:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. In addition to the arguments made in the radio station discussion, equivalent templates and disambiguation page content, which might serve as rough substitutes, do not exist for US, Canadian or Mexican TV stations. --Chaswmsday (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify -- I cannot see the purpose of such a category. A list will be much more satisfactory as it can provide further contnet in further columns. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:55, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Listify. I'm probably primary recently in contributing to populating these categories, but was doing it as part of other cleanup work because that was established precedent for these articles. Lists make much more sense, and I'm happy to step up and get my hands dirty to do that work if that's the ultimate result. Mlaffs (talk) 03:30, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object to including the Channel 6 radio stations category in the mass discussion as that category refers to a specific type of television station (a low-power one that operates primarily for its audio feed), not an indiscriminate listing of all channels occupying a particular frequency.

    • Reply To editor Sillyfolkboy: - I have been seeing the Template:WikiProject India for many years where the sub-projects have migrated to better naming conventions without the parenthesis (Railways, for example) and others in parenthesis have been dropped (Architecture, Religion, Sports, etc.). Hence these will not be used at all. You can check the template to understand this situation. Please provide support for speedy deletion. VasuVR (talk, contribs) 15:46, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
