Commons:Deletion requests/Norro categories

• Category:Round icons by Norro
• Category:Flat round icons by Norro

I believe it is bad taste to name things after users. Norro has no proof he created the first voting symbols and even so we should not be naming categories after the original creator, which means absolutely nothing on a wiki. Ipatrol (talk) 00:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but rename. It's nice to have all of the similarly-styled icons located in one place, although I agree that the name could be changed. Perhaps Category:Round Wikimedia icons, since that is where they are most used? I also noticed that you already upmerged most of the categories... shouldn't that have waited until discussion was completed (my bad if I'm wrong on this; I don't know the details of Commons' deletion policies). --Drilnoth (talk) 03:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  This theme have not specially thing to do with Wikimedia, and It can exists many icon themes used or not buy many Wikimedia projets, then "Category:Round Wikimedia icons" is not helpfull. ~ bayo or talk 09:36, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  I mentioned that as a possibility since it is in Category:Vote symbols which is itself in Category:Wikimedia icons. Perhaps Category:Round 3D icons would work, since they do have the shading which makes them seem 3D-ish? The flat icons could probably be kept in their new location in Category:Vote symbols since there aren't very many of them. --Drilnoth (talk) 15:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• I create icon categories by theme all this icons (before you remove them) look like the same. Thanks a lot for your stupid remove of all categories i add in many files. If the category use a bad name rename it, do not remove the category (you are welcome to create a magic name for this theme). And anyway, thanks for your comment on my talk page. But, well... I love spending my time for nothing. I hope you will revert yourself. ~ bayo or talk 09:33, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• No need to get mad bayo, I'll help readd the category (don't worry about it :). But a new name would be nice. The problem is: what name? "Icons by Norro" was a logical choice although not completely accurate and unlike "Tango icons" or "Crystal icons", no one will know what this is referring to, so can create some random name for it.

How about "Norricons"? :-) Rocket000 (talk) 13:08, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That actually doesn't sound too bad. No specific name springs to mind, but "Norricons" is no more descriptive than "Nuvola" and the like. --Drilnoth (talk) 15:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think bayo wants to get away from specifics like "Wikimedia" or "Voting" since that's only how these images are commonly used on Wikimedia projects. And I support the move away from that too. It makes a lot sense when you look at it from a reusers' perspective, who may or may not know anything about their main purpose to us. Norricons (or whatever) on the other hand is just a meaningless name (it still gives some credit to the original creator, but that's irrelevant). The problem with descriptive names like "Round 3D icons" is that they don't limit what can be included and aren't a "theme". I always have trouble categorizing groups of icons like these, which clearly should share a common category, yet lack a name. Rocket000 (talk) 17:12, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe that we should give "credit" through titles. It's not done on any project. By not naming things after users, we emphasize the communal nature of the project. I suggest Norro prove that he/she actually created this theme and if so then we should make a note in the licensing section in order to comply with the original license.--Ipatrol (talk) 22:35, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying that we should keep the files at the current name; just that they should be in a category together, not upmerged. I agree that the previous name was problematic. --Drilnoth (talk) 03:09, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. It is useful to have a specific category to group these icons together. The name is probably not ideal, but this is just a matter of moving it. –Tryphon^☂ 08:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
