Wikipedia:Categories for deletion discussion

Discussion moved from Wikipedia:Categories for deletion concerning category renaming from Board game Risk. RedWolf 05:44, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC)

I stumbled across this recently-created category. More standard disambiguation would be Category:Risk (game) or Category:Risk (board game). (The game itself is at Risk (game).) -Aranel ("Sarah") 00:57, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm the one who came up with the name. I couldn't find a clear policy nor an example of a category that used the parentheses disambiguation convention used for articles. The closest I could find in Wikipedia:Categorization is "Choose category names that are able to stand alone, independent of the way a category is connected to other categories. Example: "Wikipedia policy precedents and examples", not "Precedents and examples" (a sub-category of "Wikipedia policies and guidelines")." If parentheses disambiguation is in fact the way to do it, I think Risk (game) should be the choice to match the article. I'd be happy to make the corrections, based on whatever is the consensus. --agr 01:36, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
