Category talk:Individual animals

message: Since we did have a cfd renaming this category and all of its subcategories to remove the prefix "famous", I've noticed some categories have not yet been renamed.  I also note we have a discussion above about the prefix "individual".
In any case, we should standardize our categories and hopefully soon, so an example of our not yet renamed category is :Category:Individual non-human primates.Curb Chain (talk) 08:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Category:Individual non-human primates has the correct name but I assume you are referring to its subcategories. I requested that these be speedily renamed but they were opposed because there is still on-going discussion. McLerristarr | Mclay1 10:08, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I am referring to that category, but another (sub) category is :category:Individual horses.  There are probably other categories as well.Curb Chain (talk) 06:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some Subcategories Not Standardized Yet 

message: It seems there's considerable debate here. Some support for renaming, some opposition. Among the support there's dissent over what the best option is. And it seems that a CfD will be needed. How can a CfD best be formatted, given that the target name is undecided? --Dweller (talk) 10:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, and I know I said I'm done, but I say go with "notable," and let everyone argue over if there is anything better.  Montanabw(talk) 22:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Reading the responses, it seems the most meritable argument would be moving to "Category:Named -".Curb Chain (talk) 04:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've started a a nomination for the leftover categories that were originally nominated to be changed from "famous" to "individual" here. I expect that either these will be renamed to complete that process, or a new format involving "named" or "notable" or something will emerge. Feel free to comment there, or start a new nomination for changing the current "individual" ones to something else, or both.--Mike Selinker (talk) 16:01, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  New CfD under way 

message: The present name is not optimal (vide supra).  It was slightly counterbalanced by the explaining text on the category page, which made it clear that it is intended for 'famous' or 'notable' (non-human) animals, without using either of these seemingly controversial terms.  However, this change replaced this explanation with a non-committant text.  According to the new text, any pet house animal, which has received a name by its owners, should be a suitable item for this category.
Therefore, I've reverted the edit.  I'm not saying that the old text was optimal, either, but it should cause less confusion than the new one. JoergenB (talk) 15:52, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Increased confusion 

message: Not sure how many people are watching a cat talk page, but here it is: I see :Category:Individual animals being applied to small groups (2 or 3) of animals. But is there an existing cat to cover things like Bats at 37 Military Hospital or the Cape Cross Cape fur seal colony? --Pgallert (talk) 14:56, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Named groups of animals 

message: I don't know if any of you are gonna read this but the titles of this category (and subcategories) roughly translate to "Famous animals" rather than "Individual animals" in many other languages including Spanish and Russian. English Wikipedia renamed all these categories 14 years ago however most other Wikipedias stay the same. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:04, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
