September 8

Category:Clerks (film)

Nominator's rationale: Only five articles and all will be pretty easily interlinked and navigable from a footer. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:44, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Area codes in the United States by state

Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT, small categories unlikely to grow. Some of these states are served exclusively by one area code, e.g. Area code 701 for North Dakota. All area codes in all states (including those not in this nomination) are already in Category:Area codes in the United States. A category is included here iff there are fewer than four articles. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 18:33, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Abbott and Costello (film series)

Nominator's rationale: Does not exclusively include films. Article Abbott and Costello (film series) does not exist. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 17:36, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Stella Vine

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary small category containing only two articles CallyMc (talk) 15:29, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:8th-century disestablishments in Israel

Nominator's rationale: delete as an outlier in Category:Disestablishments in Israel by century which starts in the 20th century (to be precise, in 1948). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:41, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lübeck law

Nominator's rationale: rename since the large amount of this category consists of cities with Lübeck law rather than articles about Lübeck law itself. When this category is renamed, the first three articles may be moved to the two parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:37, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Data with undue precision

Nominator's rationale: Empty cleanup category with an unclear and possibly misleading scope.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  04:15, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Or for conversions (e.g. Imperial to metric) that are more precise than the data warrants. That's really what the issue is. If the data is only precise to within 10%, and we (or someone else) convert it into a figure with 1% precision, then we're misrepresenting the source. E.g., if a distance is given as 1km, and we convert that to 0.62mi, then we're claiming a precision of 50ft instead of 500m. Or, sometimes the source itself will have spurious precision, because the journalist reporting on the topic has little understanding of stats. There have been edit wars over keeping undue precision inherited from a supposedly reliable source, and that has required consensus among editors who do know what they're doing to change it. — kwami (talk) 18:20, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Winter Olympic venues by year

Nominator's rationale: While only the 2022 category (Category:2022 Winter Olympic venues) uses "Olympic" rather than "Olympics"; all the Summer Olympics use "Olympic". Hence it seems preferable to change (e.g. to Category:2018 Winter Olympic venues etc.) so as to have the same format as for the Summer Olympics (see e.g. Category:2016 Summer Olympic venues).
