NEW NOMINATIONS
Category:Team Canada 1981 members
- Category:Team Canada 1981 members - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Overcategorization of ice hockey players by national team in a specific year. Players should be categorized by national team but are not categorized by specific years or specific tournaments. Compare with the deleted 1972 Team Canada players.

Category:British Vogue
- Propose renaming Category:British Vogue to Category:Vogue (British magazine)
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. Suggest renaming to match main article Vogue (British magazine). Good Ol’factory (talk) 09:38, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Category:Digital data storage formats
- Category:Digital data storage formats - Template:Lc1
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Parent category of Category:Computer file formats; it seems to be synonymous. I just sorted down Category:Open formats and a single article. Pnm (talk) 07:11, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Category:Computer file systems
- Propose merging Category:Computer file systems to Category:File systems
- Nominator's rationale: Merge. Duplicate categories. Main article is File systems and is fairly unambiguous. Pnm (talk) 07:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- reverse merge "Computer file systems" has been around since 2004. "File systems" is much newer and should be removed as the newer almost unpopulated version. 184.144.163.241 (talk) 11:39, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Category:Computer storage backup
- Propose renaming Category:Computer storage backup to Category:Backup
- Nominator's rationale: Rename per main article, Backup. Pnm (talk) 06:50, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose definitely not. Backup is not a computer storage term. It could be police backup (assistance), military backup, even records backup of the dead tree variety, like microfiche backup records. 184.144.163.241 (talk) 11:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Category:Network-attached computer storage
- Propose renaming Category:Network-attached computer storage to Category:Network-attached storage
- Nominator's rationale: Rename per network-attached storage. It's unambiguous, so using a different name, something it's never really called, is awkward. Pnm (talk) 06:47, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Category:Sailing vessels and rigging
- Propose renaming Category:Sailing vessels and rigging to Category:Sailing rigging
- Nominator's rationale: Copying this over from a Cfd-speedy nomination. It didn't meet the speedy criteria, but it does seem like a good idea. Mike Selinker (talk) 05:10, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Cfd-speedy nomination:
- Category:Sailing vessels and rigging to Category:Sailing rigging — Ambiguous title creates confusion with Category:Sailing vessels, resulting in miscategorized articles.Gjs238 (talk) 20:53, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- Probably a good idea for a renaming, but this does not appear to meet any of the speedy criteria. This needs a full discussion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:49, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- Cfd-speedy nomination:
- Rename and divide: Most articles should go into the renamed category, but some should go into Category: Sailing rigs per "Rig, the configuration of sails and other rigging on a sailing vessel" (e.g. Gaff rig). Mangoe (talk) 11:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
