After deleting the template "game-cleanup" (see log), its related category hadn't been deleted. 500LL 20:24, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I was going to list it here after I cleaned up template use and deleted it but then forgot about it. Good catch 500LL. RedWolf 05:31, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

Empty category, and redundant with Category:Emo musical groups. (It's really too bad redirects don't work for categories...) Lachatdelarue (talk) 14:32, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Should be renamed to Category:Namesakes of Charles Darwin, which is more correct terminology.
Rename: Cyberjunkie 05:14, 9 May 2005 (UTC)Change to Delete, there is already a disambiguation page and legacy section in the article that should suffice.--Cyberjunkie 16:04, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Delete, do not rename. This is a very artificial category; the constituent parts have little in common acceppt their name. Imagine if we had Category:Namesakes of Columbus or Category:Namesakes of Victoria or Category:Namesakes of Mary. We don't, and for good reason. All of these should just be mentioned in Charles Darwin's article; integrated into the text when more or less directly relevent to his life or influence like Darwin's finches and Darwinism, and in a small list at the end for things not directly related like Darwin, Northern Territory and the Darwin Medal.--Pharos 05:57, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Replace with article List of things named after Charles Darwin. No need for a category, but an article might work fairly well. Grutness...wha? 10:50, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as trivial. I wouldn't mind an article though, as Grutness suggests. Radiant_* 11:21, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Replace with article. I agree with the suggestion by Grutness above that this should be an article, not a category. -- Redfarmer 15:52, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not really germane to the category, but I don't think a separate article is at all necessary; there are only twelve entries, and three of these are relevant enough to be discussed in the main body of the text. A list of nine would not bloat the Charles Darwin article.--Pharos 16:42, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Here's why I created it: I made Category:Charles Darwin to hold all of the miscellaneous articles about different parts of Darwin's life and his books and etc. Just a useful organizing device. While doing this, I thought, "Does the Darwin awards really go under Charles Darwin?" Not really -- he had nothing to do with them, they are just named after him. "Fine, I'll just make a little subcategory of the Charles Darwin category where all these things can go." I can understand renaming it but I don't understand what good it will do to delete it. If you wanted to drop the "isms" because you think the category tag is ugly, I'd be happy with that. But I don't see any good reason to delete the category -- it isn't doing any harm, it is a sensible organization device (that is, it is not nonsensical), and whether it is trivia or not probably depends on individual taste. I'm not sure I find it any more or less trivial than Category:Bird Pokémon. It's a small category but it's better than a list and doesn't need a whole article. Just leave well enough alone, eh? There are few enough entries that it doesn't make the idea ridiculous (as would some of the other Namesakes, though even then I'm not sure how many Namesakes of Columbus there are).Anyway, whatever, it doesn't matter, I guess I'm just frustrated that I took the time to figure out which of those things were actually named after Charles Darwin or not and I'm a little frustrated that a day later half a dozen people find it convenient to vote to delete something which I think is well within the boundaries of notability and sensibility. It was a simple attempt to find a way to categorize a few things in a more elegant way than as a list, delete it if you want, I don't care. --Fastfission 17:07, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]- But the problem is that the "Darwin Awards" really have nothing to do with Darwin. Category:Bird Pokémon may not be the most important thing in the world, but it is unquestionably about Pokémon. That's the difference. I'm glad that you researched which things are actually named after Charles Darwin; this information is even more valuable on his main article.--Pharos 17:23, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
