September 5

[edit]

Category:News media / Category:Journalism

[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 Keep. ∞Who?¿? 21:05, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The results of the previous CFD nomination were that the mass media-related categories needed to be tidied up, but not necessarily deleted. After doing the cleanup, there are only 6 subcategories and 1 article in this category. Should we merge Category:Journalism here? The last nomination asserted that there are people in the news media who are not journalists and who do not do journalism (technicians, etc.). -- Beland 22:29, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Don't merge. "News media" is a category for newspapers, newsmagazines, news web sites, etc., and to dfferentiate broadcast journalism from print journalism, for example.This deserves its own category. As a compromise, if you want to take it out of "Mass media," I could go along with that. Maurreen (talk) 00:39, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Accidental creation. I searched for it and couldn't find what I was pretty sure already existed...then found it later. This is an unnecessary duplication of the already extant Category:Transportation in Wisconsin. Marked speedy. Tomer TALK 21:25, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Rename nominated only. ∞Who?¿? 21:05, 14 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We shouln't expect readers to be familiar with acromynms unless they are the most commonly used term for the subject matter (like NASDAQ). To me "LSE" mainly refers to the London School of Economics, and a google search suggests I am not alone in perceiving it that way. It also stands for many other things in various countries, and this category will sound odd to people if it reads "Companies quoted on the Institution for Medical Research" or whatever in their native country. Rename category:Companies traded on the London Stotck Exchange. CalJW 20:32, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename per nom. There's already a strong presumption against abbreviations in both article and category titles. In this particular case, the acronym is also shared by two high-profile institutions. -Splash 21:21, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I doubt if anyone familiar with the London School of Economics will that that stocks are traded there. However, rather than tackling this one alone, we should consider doing a systematic rename of all of the sub-categories of Category:Companies by stock exchange to a single standard. At present we have the following categories:
  1. Category:Companies traded on AMEX
  2. Category:Companies traded on BSE
  3. Category:Companies traded on NASDAQ
  4. Category:Companies traded on the ASX
  5. Category:Companies lised on the Euronext exchanges (even with out standardizing, this one needs a correction for the typo)
  6. Category:Companies traded on HKSE
  7. Category:Companies traded on the Irish Stock Exchange
  8. Category:Companies traded on KOSDAQ
  9. Category:Companies traded on the Korea Stock Exchange
  10. Category:Companies traded on the LSE
  11. Category:Companies traded on NYSE
  12. Category:Companies traded on the PSE
  13. Category:Companies traded on the SGX
  14. Category:Companies listed on the SWX Swiss Exchange
  15. Category:Companies traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange
  16. Category:Companies traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange
  17. Category:Companies traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange
  18. Category:Companies listed on Xetra

The standard of the proposed change here would suit me fine, but having a single clear standard is more important than what that standard is. Caerwine 21:36, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rename. Abbreviations should be avoided. siafu 00:03, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename all except NASDAQ That's a familiar everyday word (I'm not American), many people probably don't even realise it is an acronym, and as it is so long I doubt it is an acromym for anything other than - whatever it is an acronym for. Spelling it out would increase the obscurity. CalJW 00:17, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Companies listed on (exchange), <ins>except Companies listed on NASDAQ</ins>. At least in the U.S. financial sector (of which I do not claim comprehensive knowledge), it is common to speak of "listings" and "listed companies" but not "traded companies," unless in the form "publicly traded" which would be redundant here. Besides, a company may have several listed securities, on more than one exchange, all tradeable, but not necessarily traded. - choster 15:53, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename but not NASDAQ, which is often written Nasdaq. The full version would be horrible and confusing. The same applies to Kosdaq, and SWX Swiss Exchange is long enough and clear enough already. But change the others. No preference on listed/traded. Carina22 22:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree, but the all-caps NASDAQ is more correct to refer to the exchange; Nasdaq is often an abbreviation for the NASDAQ Composite Index or to the parent company, The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.- choster 21:06, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Someone might want to mark these for deletion or nothing is going to happen with them. --Kbdank71 18:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a cultural category, and shouldn't think that anyone will have a problem with it being organised on state boundary lines. It is already in category:Categories by country. Rename category:Health by country. CalJW 19:50, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete "Employee" section. The Infobox for this article already contains the relevant bio info. #7. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information: directories, directory entries, or a resource for conducting business. Wikipedia is not a company website. This information can easily be found on either the company website or in Adobe’s annual report. Mopupcrew 17:31, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure what you're after here. Categories don't have sections, and there don't appear to be any employees in it. Have you already removed them? -Splash 21:21, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, no I didn't remove, but I wasn't quite sure how to place the link, instead of mucking it up worse perhaps you can just tell me if I'm way off base by taking a gander mid way down this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Systems Thanks, Mopupcrew 00:02, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was: Delete category and direct subcategories.


The votes so far have not provided the requested clarity. Please specify what you think should be done with the subcategories, and whether or not you think some or all images should be merged into Category:Nudity. -- Beland 21:42, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(Please note: I am neither supporting nor opposing the deletion of this category. -- Beland 04:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC))[reply]

This category has been nominated for deletion several times. (The last discussion is here.) Before having Pearle strip it of its contents, as was requested after the previous discussion was closed as "delete", I need to have some clarity on what's to be done with subcategories. Also, there were not many votes for such a controversial subject which has been up for deletion several times and survived so far. Participants on Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians for encyclopedic merit and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians against censorship seem to have been unaware of it, so I've left notes there for anyone on either side of the decency/censorship debate who might be interested. I guess this should get the usual amount of time as if it were a new nomination. -- Beland 04:35, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • NB All keep/rename/delete decision at Wikipedia are based on a handful of votes at best. Out of a supposed 13,000 contributors, one is doing well to find ten weighing in on any topic. And most of those are regular denizens of this category, and often "admins" to boot (who should be neutral). I don't care whether it's kept or not - it seems rather spurious to me, but so does a lot of the stuff here - but it got as fair a shake as anything can at Wikipedia. Which is, admittedly, not saying much. 12.73.195.155 14:38, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It would be silly to make a censorship issue out of this, the category itself has no apparent use, and in any case is already covered by Category:Nudity. --Lomedae 15:28, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

  • DO NOT MERGE into Category:Nudity, whatever happens, when images are merged into article categories, they become horribly overloaded and slow (like Image categories), and not useful for navigation purposes. 132.205.45.110 19:14, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Purposeless. --Ngb ?!? 21:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (cat and all subcategories). I had originally voted delete, but the subcategories cross the threshhold to genuinely useful (especially paintings and sexual acts). Maybe subcategorize a bit more finely either, though I don't have specific subcats in mind. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 17:50, 2005 September 12 (UTC)
