Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2019 November 17

17 November 2019

Category:Shinano Railway – Closed with no action taken. I'm not going to call this No consensus, because that would imply there were disagreements that were not resolved. Rather, it's not clear what the nom is requesting here. I'll also mention that categories have processes and conventions that are somewhat specialized. My experience is that bringing category deletions to DRV rarely results in a satisfying outcome, because most of the people who frequent DRV are not categorization experts. Try starting a new discussion at Category talk:Shinano Railway Line, and perhaps also post notes at WT:CfD, Talk:Shinano Railway Line and WT:WikiProject Trains alerting people to this discussion. Explain what it is that you want to change, and see if people are on-board with it. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:15, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
Category:Shinano Railway (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore) When this was speedy deleted Shinano Railway operates only Shinano Railway Line. After Hokuriku Shinkansen (Nagano-Kanazawa section) opened in 2015 this company actually operates 2 disjoint lines, with the addition of Kita-Shinano line, thus the difference between Shinano Line and its operator is now quite significant. Also Category:Railway companies of Japan should have this page rather than Category:Shinano Railway Line as its sub-category. ibicdlcod (talk) 11:48, 17 November 2019 (UTC) What exactly are you asking us to do? Category:Shinano Railway was moved to Category:Shinano Railway Line, I think you're asking to recreate Category:Shinano Railway and move Shinano Railway Line and Kita-Shinano Railway Line into that category, and then place that category into Railway companies of Japan? SportingFlyer T·C 23:44, 17 November 2019 (UTC) Comment- the title Shinano Railway is a bit ambiguous. The reader may need to distinguish between the railway line itself and the company that manages it. I suggest if this irestored that we call it Category:Shinano Railway (company) or something like that. Reyk YO! 17:24, 18 November 2019 (UTC) Was this merged to Category:Shinano Railway Line? I’m not seeing the deletion or process failure. Can this discussion be had at WP:CfD? Ask at WT:CfD. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:20, 20 November 2019 (UTC) Comment - At this time I am not expressing a view, because I seldom take part in CFD and will leave this to other editors. Reserving the right to figure out what I think. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:50, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
