Category:Samyukta Socialist Party

The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:31, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As per WP:SMALLCAT. This category contains only one article of highly stub and highly non-notable political party Samyukta Socialist Party. Do we really need category for one article only? Specially when there is already a Category:Samyukta Socialist Party politicians?? As this political party is defunct and non-notable party, so there is no potential of growth in the category. So it suits WP:SMALLCAT. Human3015 knock knock • 16:01, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Reportedly haunted locations in India

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:04, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As per WP:SMALLCAT. This category is more than a year old and till now contains only one article. Is there need of a special category for just one article? There is already category named Category:Superstition in India exists, I think Category:Superstition in India is enough for sole article in nominated category. There is no potential of growth in this category. So it suits WP:SMALLCAT. Human3015 knock knock • 15:46, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The whole ghost and supernatural phenomenon would be "utter nonsense" to a rationalist. But that's not what we are here on this venue for. You may take that up on Village Pump and get the whole Wikipedia:WikiProject Paranormal and article under it deleted. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:42, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb is also sourced. I guess you missed it given the decent length of the article. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:38, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, I missed it but I think the citation is representative. The reliable Hindustan Times has an Entertainment article titled with a question mark "India's Most Haunted?" giving promotional quotes from the creators of a ghost themed reality show filming at the location.RevelationDirect (talk) 11:37, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:09, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Upmerge. Consensus when creating these categories was for them to be state-by-state, can't see why Perth should be a special exception to this. Jenks24 (talk) 11:36, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: administrative close of discussion, since the category no longer exists. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:36, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: An WP:OVERCAT. All the articles are/should be covered under the categories of their respective district which fall under Category:Visitor attractions in Maharashtra by district. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 06:15, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Marathwada is neither a state nor territory. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 15:15, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz: I was creator of that category, I emptied that category and requested speedy deletion. It was becoming very annoying from the nominator. --Human3015 (talk) 23:48, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Human3015:, I can see you doing a G7 as the category creator but it's not okay to empty out a category while there is a discussion going on about it. What if an editor came up with a rename suggestion and people supported it or a category merge? We would have to go through your contributions to try to find whatever articles were originally in this category. In the future, please let the proposal close with some determination and then the closing editor can enact whatever they determine the consensus to be.
I do appreciate you coming back and sharing what you did, otherwise, it was a mystery. Liz Read! Talk! 00:04, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz:, There were some tourist places of Marathwada region in that category. Anyway, it should have been deleted because there was really a issue of WP:OVERCAT with that category. I requested speedy deletion just to close this matter quickly. And thanks for your appreciation, I will surely not request "speedy" for any matter under discussion in future. I would like to thank you for voting for "Keep" here. --Human3015 (talk) 00:17, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American people of Hungarian descent by occupation

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: upmerge and delete as nominated. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:16, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: A non-defining, non-notable intersection of occupation and ethnicity, contra WP:OCEGRS and WP:NARROWCAT. The contents of the two subcategories Category:American scientists of Hungarian descent‎ (1 article) and Category:American film directors of Hungarian descent‎ (4 articles), which I'm also nominating, can easily be upmerged to Category:American people of Hungarian descent. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:19, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would say those higher categories of occupation by origin fail WP:DEFINING, and are game for future discussion. People are commonly labelled as Italian-American, Hungarian-American, etc, and may also be commonly labelled as scientists, film directors, or whatever else their occupation is. But people are rarely if ever described by reliable sources as, say American chemists of Hungarian descent. I think some categories exist simply because some people prefer small categories over large ones. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:36, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
