[WikiEN-l] Categories for deletion/discussion issues

This is related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Limited-access_roads . Necessary background is that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-access_road is an ambiguous term: "It can mean anything from a city street to which the maintaining authority limits driveway access to a freeway (or other equivalent terms)." The category was originally created at "Freeways" and listed for renaming to "Freeways and motorways": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_Mar… This discussion has little input, and ends up renaming it to "Limited-access roads" (though there doesn't seem to be definite consensus for that, going back and reading it). No one mentions there that "limited-access road" is ambiguous. I come across the category a while after and realize that it was renamed and that that renaming was a mistake. I list it for renaming back to "Freeways" and clearly explain why other options won't work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_Jul… Most people end up supporting "Freeways and motorways"; very few support keeping "Limited-access roads". Yet it is closed as no consensus by one of those editors. I take it to DRV: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/200… It is relisted, mainly because of who it was closed by. So it goes on for another week: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_Jul… A few more people comment. Again there is rough consensus to rename to "Freeways and motorways", and again it is closed as no consensus. I take it to DRV again, where the closer admits he counted votes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_July_20#Cat… So even though almost no one now supports the name "Limited-access roads", including several who also commented in the original CFD, it is kept there because of a vote-counter. I fail to see why we have chosen to operate this way - there is certainly not consensus to keep it there. If I choose to ignore all rules I will probably be banned for violating my probation against "provocative edits". But the current name does not correctly describe the purpose of the category.
