Nominator's rationale: This category was created by a user (CYl7EPTEMA777) who was blocked in part for competency issues. The current category is based on something that does not exist "project koko". There is a Koko (gorilla) but that is it. The user categorised 5 articles under this category and it appears that the only reason is that they have something to do with gorillas. I am One of Many (talk) 20:36, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and see Wikipedia:Overcategorization and specifically, WP:DEFINING. There are 3 members of this category, but none claim to be about androgyny, although two use the word in the title. The third song was inspired by "a dude who looks like a lady", so whether that song should be included is debateable. "Songs about..." categories remain a repository of original research without any redeeming factors. Richhoncho (talk) 14:47, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support deletion - I believe there may be some categories of "songs about..." that could be useful, though the categories are usually better off being phrased as "x songs" and in most cases seem to be in such a format already ("Anti-war songs", "Patriotic songs" and "Religious songs", for example). "Songs about androgyny", however, is not one of them, no more than "songs about chairs", "songs about a pink fluffy cloud", "songs about my neighbour's niece's first pet" or any other such a category would be. It would be different if androgyny became a common defining theme in songs, like war has, various forms of activism have, sexuality has, religion has, etc., but right now it's overcategorization on a non-defining theme.

Nominator's rationale: Following the requested move last year (i.e. Japanese occupation of Indonesia --> Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies), this category needs to be standardised (also note that I am fixing capitalization)  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:01, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is the way railway station categories by location are named; these stations are in a location called the Catskill Mountains, not operated by a company or system by that name. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:37, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Fails Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information - see Wikipedia:Overcategorization and specifically, WP:DEFINING. Nearly every "break-up song" and "protest" song could be included. There is a fundamental problem with "songs about" and songs about an emotion top of that list of problems.
