[edit]Category:Unite the Right rally
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: keep. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:53, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This is a WP:SMALLCAT (7 articles) with near zero likelihood of growth. It is a good example of category clutter, and it is a subcat of more categories than there are articles in it. If the purpose is to tie these related articles together, that would be better served by a WP:NAV template. ButlerBlog (talk) 13:12, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose - category serves an encyclopedic purpose, and I wouldn't necessarily call a category with 7 articles "small". Plus, as the legal and cultural consequences from this event are still ongoing to some extent, there is an outside chance that more categories could be added to this. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:28, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment, the category has been discussed before, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_October_20#Category:Unite_the_Right_rally. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:01, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- It seems that opposition to deletion centers around things like
Collects closely connected rally events and crimes occurring in them
, but as I noted, that's what makes it a perfect nav template candidate - it's what they were made for, but it doesn't meet requirements for a category. And aside from A Concert for Charlottesville, they're all in the same additional categories in the same tree already. ButlerBlog (talk) 13:11, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

- oppose 7 articles is more than enough to justify as a category, as is the subject matter and its connections to numerous parents. Meets the basic criteria for categories, which is to aid in navigation to related articles. Hmains (talk) 00:25, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Keep for now, first we should have a broader discussion about upscaling the minimum size of categories because nav templates are sometimes a better means of navigation. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:24, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:52, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Business schools in Lucerne to Category:Business schools in Switzerland
- Nominator's rationale: Only one and not likely to proliferate. Rathfelder (talk) 12:58, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Merge - it's WP:SMALLCAT and not likely to grow much, if at all. ButlerBlog (talk) 15:22, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: speedy delete per WP:SNOW (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 09:04, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: New category that is entirely subjective, violating WP:CATDEF. Schazjmd (talk) 01:23, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- You’re right, and I removed that category from every article that I added it to. Should I make it its own article instead, like Wikipedia:List of unusual articles?ILoveHirasawaYui (talk) 01:49, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Generally, you should not be doing anything while the delete discussion is ongoing because you don't know what the outcome will be (although in this case, it's unlikely to result in anything other than "delete"). In the future, while the discussion of a category is open, don't do anything to the category being discussed. And IMO, "no" to an article of this nature as well, for the same reasons - it's subjective. Also, it's too broad (WP:SALAT). Maybe review the criteria for lists before expending the effort. See: WP:CSC. ButlerBlog (talk) 15:31, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 06:00, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. It obviously is subjective and not an appropriate category. ButlerBlog (talk) 15:17, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Should probably be Speedy Delete since the creator has now removed all articles from it. ButlerBlog (talk) 15:33, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Unlike articles and redirects, categories that are part of a deletion discussion can't be speedied, in this case, for being empty. The discussion has to proceed. Liz Read! Talk! 02:26, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per above, inappropriate and unencyclopedic idea for a category. Inter&anthro (talk) 03:23, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who use Ultraviolet
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:02, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: I reverted Special:Diff/1073679177, which changed User:UBX/RW and Huggle to populate this category instead of Category:Wikipedians who use RedWarn, on the grounds that the text of the userbox referred to RedWarn rather than ultraviolet. That leaves this category containing only a bunch of userboxes. More fundamentally, if a script is deliberately limited to being used by its developers, then it's far too soon to create a user category for it. Category:Wikipedians who are waiting for Ultraviolet already exists, although I also considered CfDing it for lacking collaborative value. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:28, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Essentially WP:SMALLCAT ButlerBlog (talk) 15:18, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Delete -- This is about an anti-virus tool. I thought this was going to be about UV light, which I have occasionally used to read a faded archival document. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:13, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Category:Vegan cafés in the United States
[edit]- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 07:09, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Propose upmerging to Category:Vegan restaurants in the United States. Unnecessary to separate out cafes from restaurants, especially with so few entries. --Another Believer (Talk) 00:12, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Merge per nom. This is ripe for miscategorization, and I've seen this happen in other category areas. What's defines a "cafe" vs. a "restaurant". That's a subjective categorization and will end up with articles being "tagged" instead of "categorized" (i.e. crossover because editors don't have a specific defining difference).
