- The result of the discussion was: keep. Kbdank71 15:51, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:2100 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Nominator's rationale: Isolated category (i.e., not part of a pattern), containing no articles and only one category, Category:2100 in science. I have doubts about that category as well, but it can fend for itself. It wouldn't become uncategorized even if this category were deleted from it, which it need not be, as Category:2031 in science through Category:2099 in science also exist. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 11:51, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It is part of a pattern, that of categs by year. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:10, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's part of a pattern, the same way 100 is part of a pattern containing only 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, as none of Category:2031 through Category:2099 exist. A correct formulation would probably be merge to Category:2100s, but the sole member category is probably not worth adding to that category. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:06, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and create the earlier ones: eg Category:2031 may not yet exist but it is not empty. (Note that all up to Category:2030 already exist.) Occuli (talk) 20:48, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Somebody created Category:2099 incorrectly. If the categories are to be created, we need a bot to handle the creation properly. Category:20''ab'' should have:
((portal|History))
((yearcat))
((Decade category header|decade=20a0))
[[Category:21st century]]
[[Category:Years]]

- Keep so long as it has actual content in it, which it currently does. If you have doubts about the subcategory, nominate that for deletion, and then if successful you can just tag this category for C1 deletion. VegaDark (talk) 08:37, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Are categories "actual content"? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:40, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, subcategories within a category count as "content", this is why C1 deletions are not permitted unless the category is completely empty of both pages and subcategories. VegaDark (talk) 08:47, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
