This nominiation should probably include all of the other included subcats for the ones listed above for which there are many. I should note that many of those were renamed on Jan 15 from US to U.S. in the names. Also the naming convention is fooian aircraft. Vegaswikian 22:18, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. When we talk about things having to do with the United States, it is usual to say "U.S.", not "American". "U.S. President Bush", "U.S. Forces in Iraq", "U.S. Trade sanctions on North Korea", etc. Remember, the nation whose capital is Washington, D.C, is called the "United States". Guapovia 09:08, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you suggesting that the naming convention should not apply here or that I'm misreading the naming convention? Vegaswikian 19:03, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose, since American is an imprecise term, unless these categories could also includes airplanes from other nations in the Americas. --Habap 15:50, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename All of Guapovia's examples refer to the U.S. government, and some of them are dubious in any case. Carina22 12:23, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename as per nom. Claims that it will cause confusion are invalid. Bhoeble 00:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. "American" is ambiguous and US-centric (there are other nations in the Americas). Ignorance is not an excuse for conformity. Since non-participants of WP:Air project are eagerly voting for the rename, can I presume you all will take the time to fix the 2,000+ disrupted articles? - Emt147 ^Burninate! 03:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bots will fix the articles. Sumahoy 04:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename as per nom. Sumahoy 04:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose, since both America and American are disambiguation pages, but not U.S. (redirect) or United States. In fact, quoting from United States#Notes:

America may describe the United States or the Americas—North and South America (including Central America). The latter usage is more common in Latin American countries, where the Spanish and Portuguese word América refers to the pair of continents. United States is a less ambiguous term and less likely to cause offense. American as a noun to describe an inhabitant of America or a citizen or national of the United States, and as an adjective meaning "of the United States," has no straightforward unambiguous synonym in English. Many other words for American have been proposed, but none has been widely accepted.

Based on that, the "naming convention" should be to expand 'U.S.' to 'United States', in which case it should be removed from every single article which contains 'U.S.', and not just civil aircraft. McNeight 06:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at the history of CfD and you will see that has been happening. Also U.S. is being changed to American when the naming convention calls for that usage. Vegaswikian 09:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename Spanish and Portuguese usage is not relevant. Choalbaton 06:32, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes it is relevant. Wikipedia is a global project. Non-English users are allowed to read the English Wikipedia. As McNeight said, "America=US" is US-centric (and yes, I'm from US). - Emt147 ^Burninate! 08:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is a global project in English. Non-native speakers obviously need to understand the usage of each item of English vocabulary and this is just another one. It is actually the instinct to distort the language in response to outside pressures that is U.S. centric - a result of American political correctness on ethnic issues. Choalbaton 13:01, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose For the same reasons listed above. --Sylvain Mielot 06:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename as per nom. The decision that the nationality of people and things from the United States is "American" has been debated at great length and a working consensus was reached. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)/Usage of American and its associated talk page. (BTW, the users who felt that "American" might be US-centric were almost all Americans; non-Americans in practice seem to have no issues with this usage). Aircraft are named "Fooian plane" - see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Miscellaneous "nationality x" - this is policy. This is not the place to re-open the American vs. US debate and the naming conventions apply in relation to the thing being categorised and not in relation to the country it belongs to. So this one is virtually undisputable. Valiantis 05:46, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And yet we're disputing it. Go figure. Guapovia 11:07, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Rename per nom, as is policy cited by Valiantis, both as pertains to the 'Nationality X' format and usage of American. Josh 22:16, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Agree per nom, all this political correctness posturing is odd for an encyclopedia, besides which both Mexico and Brazil are "United States"es and are so referred to locally so we should move everything to USA?... don't think so.... Carlossuarez46 22:21, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename as proposed "American" is normal English in the English-speaking world. That is all that is relevant. CalJW 05:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category contains no articles, only a subcategory (Category:LGBT serial killers). Seems rather pointless, as the Serial Killers category covers everything. --DrBat 21:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete --Revolución (talk) 22:45, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: the serial killers category covers only serial killers, not one-time murderers. Perhaps the serial killers category should be deleted, and the articles in it moved to LGBT murderers, which has a broader scope and has a more generic name. Aecis ^{Mr. Mojo risin'} 23:33, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Resulting vote: Keep Category:LGBT murderers, delete Category:LGBT serial killers and move the articles in the latter category to the former category. Aecis ^{Mr. Mojo risin'} 13:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC) Delete per Bearcat. Aecis ^{Mr. Mojo risin'} 08:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Same as last time. Golfcam 00:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename without slang acronym. "LGBT" sounds like some sort of sandwich - lettuce, gerkin, bacon & tomato. Use real words; this is an encyclopedia, remember. 12.73.196.151 03:30, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Not redundant. Bhoeble 00:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Unnecessary category based on intersection of two unrelated traits. I can't even tell from the category title if this is for people who murdered LGBT people, or LGBT people who happened to be murderers. Postdlf 16:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment This is the third time in 2 months that this category has been voted on. Previous discussion are here and here . Perhaps we can just copy the previous discussions here every month or so and everyone can say "ditto". -- Samuel Wantman 06:54, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per Postdlf.--cj | talk 14:52, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Per Wikipedia:Categorization/Gender, race and sexuality: Dedicated group-subject subcategories, such as Category:LGBT writers or Category:African American musicians, should only be created where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right. You must be able to write a substantial and encyclopedic head article (not just a list) for the category — if this cannot be done, then the category is not valid. I don't personally see that this criterion can be met here — it has nothing to do with positive vs. negative portrayals; it has to do with the encyclopedic merit (or lack thereof) of "LGBT murderers" as a topic in its own right. I'm down with the delete, but I was down with the delete the first two times, too. I find it fascinating that we now have a clear policy that spells out precisely when these kinds of categories are valid and when they're not, and people still feel free to disregard it whenever it doesn't suit their own particular agenda. Policy's policy, people: a keep vote has to be accompanied by proof that a social or cultural phenomenon of "LGBT murderers", as a documentably distinct phenomenon from the non-LGBT kind, exists as a distinct field of cultural study in its own right. If you can't prove that, it can't be kept, period. Bearcat 20:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete unless we're prepared to keep categories like Black murderers, White murderers, Roman Catholic murderers, Left handed murderers, Latino murderers and the like....up for it? not me. Carlossuarez46 22:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Clearly a list used as a part of an agenda against LGBT people. Keeping this category is bad precidence because it would allow for other categories such as Catholic Priests accused of Child Molestation, Polygamist Mormons, Baptist Child Molesters, Evagngelical Christian Child Molesters, LDS Serial Killers, Left Handed Terrorists, and many more offensive and irrelevant categories. Irrelevant because the horrible actions of people in those categories, are not a part of the way that most people in this societal group live (Hypernick1980 23:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]
• Conditional strong delete, if and only if Category:LGBT criminals and Category:LGBT serial killers are both also deleted, as should have occurred the very first time they were ever nominated for deletion, which has happened over and over now and will continue to happen until someone finally figures out that WP:POINT is non-negotiable. -Silence 05:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Wikipedia is still relatively free of liberal establishment control compared to Britannica and Encarta, but there are worrying signs. This is as legitimate as category:LGBT actors so nominate them both together. The solo nomination makes the bias clear. CalJW 05:46, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You've said that before, but "sticking it to the liberals" isn't a valid reason. I'm not liberal, but you don't want to start some kind of tit for tat revenge kick with liberals. In time someone may make categories for Christian or conservative serial killers because of this. Is that something you really want? Also there are LGBT films so LGBT actors is a bit more valid. Just as there is Catholic films and Category:Roman Catholic actors. Added to that many of these subcats are to avoid the main category getting too large. The gay categories aren't overfilled with murderers, but they might be filled with actors because Hollywood is full of liberal elite weirdos who make sure of that.(Okay that's slightly sarcastic)--T. Anthony 21:07, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That being said there might be some justification to have this for murderers whose story strongly relates to the LGBT community. For example Michael Alig, who was removed from this, could belong as he ran a gay club and Andrew Cunanan could also maybe fit. If this lives though the serial killer one should be ended as it's mostly child molesters and unrelated murderers.(Cunanan was a spree-killer, there is some difference) Ideally both should end until this is shown to be a recognized phenomenon.--T. Anthony 18:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CalJW, the policy on gender/race/sexuality categories is quite explicit in setting out the criteria under which a grouping like this is or isn't valid, and in forbidding the application of POV criteria such as the positivity or negativity of a grouping as a consideration. If you want to assert that Category:LGBT actors doesn't meet with the policy, you're free to nominate it for deletion anytime you wish. In the meantime, however, you will kindly stick to the matter at hand: does Category:LGBT murderers meet with the policy spelled out at Wikipedia:Categorization/Gender, race and sexuality, which clearly spells out that a category is only valid if the grouping has already been established as culturally or sociologically significant by others outside of Wikipedia and can have a valid encyclopedic head article written about it? If it does, then it's a keep, and if it doesn't, then it has to be deleted. No other consideration is permissible under the established and binding policy that you had every opportunity to participate in shaping. Bearcat 23:18, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Bearcat. -- Samuel Wantman 00:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Lots of reasons but the main one is that it has become a useless category that doesn't contribute anything to an encyclopaedia. David | Talk 10:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• I hate that LGBT categories are constantly nominated for deletion. Keep if there are enough murderers who are L, G, B, or T (and publicly identified as such) and whose L-, G-, B-, or T-ness affected their murders. -Seth Mahoney 19:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"players" is the term used for this sort of category. See Category:Footballers by club for a couple of hundred examples. Honbicot 19:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

• Oppose. Please renominate it together with articles in:
• Category:Footballers in Argentina by club
• Category:Footballers in Denmark by club
• Category:Footballers in the Netherlands by club
• Category:Footballers in Spain by club

...which have some, or all, articles using "footballer" as opposed to "players". --Vizcarra 22:27, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Nomination withdrawn. There appears to be a distinction between countries with football only clubs, like England, and countries with multi-sport clubs, like Spain. It's probably best to leave them as they are. Honbicot 23:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Move, on the assumption that when taxation without representation ends, we will have a United States Senator from the District of Columbia] category. The people of Washington, D.C., do elect two "shadow Senators", though these folks have no constitutional role in US Government. --Habap 16:02, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, ambiguous: are these US Senators who represent the state of Washington, or are from there??? Al Gore was born in Washington DC, was a US senator representing Tennessee, therefore seems to be a US senator from Washington. Certainly is not a US senator from Washington State, however.
