Delete. Mistakenly listed in AfD along with a companion article, these are empty categories for the author's personal nonencyclopedic project - the author wrote:

i am creating a Halo campaing book for gurps with an friend of mine, but as it is no finished i shall updat this article every once in a while.

Enough said.  BD2412 talk 22:20, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Bring together experimental particle physics equipment/experiments with techniques/ideas. Categories like Category:Particle accelerators would now be put on here. Discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Physics#New particle physics category?--generally agreed there to be reasonable. -- SCZenz 19:01, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of 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 page.

The result of the debate was Rename to Category:Bell Canada Enterprises. «»Who?¿?meta 14:26, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

BCE Inc. (legally "BCE Inc.", also known as "Bell Canada Enterprises" [1]) is a Canadian company with the following subsidiaries: Bell Canada, Bell Globemedia, and BCE Ventures [2]. The Category:Bell Canada currently contains companies from each of these subsidiaries. For example, Bell Mobility is a part of Bell Canada, Category:Bell Globemedia is a sub-category of this category, and this category also contains Telesat Canada, a division of BCE Ventures. This category also contains members of the board of directors of BCE Inc., not Bell Canada. A category does not appear to be needed for the subject of just the subsidiary Bell Canada, so the renaming of this category is requested. Kurieeto 15:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Either option would be fine with me for the purposes of this cfr, I by default went with the legal name of the company. Kurieeto 17:42, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - "Inc." is the term used on the company's website linked to above. Your suggested compromise could also be selected as an option in this vote. Kurieeto 02:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — To answer your curiosity, federally incorporated Canadian companies may use a number of legal element designations, including "Inc.", "Incorporated", "Ltd.", and "Limited". See [3]. Luigizanasi 16:32, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - But "Bell Canada" also properly refers to a subsidiary of BCE, while this category is being used as if it has the scope of BCE and all subsidiaries. It is therefore ambiguous to the reader if a Category:Bell Canada refers to BCE Inc. as the company's common name, or just to one of BCE's subsidiaries. Kurieeto 02:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Overly specific. Has no articles in it. Just has 2 subcategories-Category:Irish National Liberation Army and Category:Irish Republican Army--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 13:18, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It's now been more than 4 days and it's still empty.--May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| r 3 $ |-| t |-|) 05:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per JW. -- SCZenz 19:03, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: Consistent and populated. (SEWilco 19:47, 13 October 2005 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete. Inherently POV and quite likely only created as a provocation (sorry, but given the history of editing in related articles this seems more than likely). Also, it appears redundant as there is already a Category:Proscribed paramilitary organizations in Northern Ireland which seems to cover the same ground in a neutral, non-provocative way. Palmiro | Talk 22:29, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • It will be impossible to put articles/subcategories in this category, as many people consider that NPOV requires that we avoid the use of POV terms such as "terrorist' cf Wikipedia:Words to avoid in articles, and as a result such usages have been scrupulously avoided on all the articles in question. This applies just as much to placing articles in categories.
    • There are good reasons why the current category is named as it is: apart from the POV problems with "terrorism", many people would consider that any categorisation of, say, the IRA as terrorists would be unfair unless opposing organisations such as, for example, the SAS, which have also killed unarmed civilians, are categorised as such. Many other people would vehemently object to this. The current category allows us to get around this problem.
    • I cannot imagine that an attempt to place the likes of Michael Collins (widely seen as the father of the independent Irish State) or Frank Ryan, who died largely as a result of wounds he received in the anti-fascist war in Spain, in a category denominated "terrorists" could be pulled off without the mother of all edit wars.
    • The category was created by an anonymous user, whose only previous contribution was the POV edit placing the category:IRA in category:Terrorism. The requirement to assume good faith is considerably attenuated in these circumstances.
    • In fairness I should point out that the reason the category is currently empty is that I reverted changes to cat:INLA and cat:IRA adding them to it as unacceptable POV changes. I'm pretty sure, though, that if I hadn't someone else would have. Palmiro | Talk 19:04, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • comment please do not depopulate categories listed on CFD until the end of the discussion. This gives a false impression that the category is empty. Thank you. ∞Who?¿? 21:56, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • query: surely the requirement to maintain NPOV (and accuracy, in the case of the IRA category) is not suspended simply because a category is on CFD? As it's explained here, it hardly "gives a false impression that the category is empty". Palmiro | Talk 13:56, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Under normal circumstances I would agree and would have not reverted. However, because the category is childless, removing any content, even POV content gives a false impression. Not all users read all of the discussion, they look and vote. Seeings a CFD only lasts 7 days, these articles/categories remaining till the end will not harm anything. ∞Who?¿? 14:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

International bank is a generic term for any bank that operates outside its home country. What is meant here are Supranational banks - which is also how the members of this category characterize themselves. DocendoDiscimus 12:39, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This category has been nearly depopulated by merges into List of Metal Gear characters. While that list may be split in the near future, it's unlikely that Category:Metal Gear Solid characters will need a subcat. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
