Nominator's rationale: Only one person in the category, not likely for expansion. SMALLCAT, NONDEF. MSJapan (talk) 21:01, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply - What he did was irrelevant to the fact that there's only one artice in the cat. So we're going to keep his cat just so we can find somebody to make a bunch of BIO1E articles just for the sake of populating the cat? By and large, we do not list every war victim - otherwise we'd have hit the 6 million mark of articles just on Holocaust victims. People are killed in wars, and very rarely is it a defining characteristic. MSJapan (talk) 23:29, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge Category:Recipients of the Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross to Category:Recipients of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross; delete the others. – Fayenatic London 21:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:Recipients of the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:OCAWARD, per WP:NONDEF, per previous discussion and many discussions before. The first three categories are mainly heads of state, nobility, ministers and generals to whom the granting of the order is merely a gesture. In the latter three categories there are not just heads of state, politicians etc. but nevertheless the awards are not defining at all for the persons of those categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:39, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can imagine the doubts about Category:Recipients of the Star of the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross. For the 4th to 6th category, though the awards are given to their own citizens, they are really not a defining characteristic across the articles. People in these categories are notable for other more important reasons. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:57, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Suicidology

The result of the discussion was: merge. – Fayenatic London 19:26, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The items in this category have nothing to do with the study of suicide, except that they like all other topics can be studied. The "Suicidology" Wikipedia article might not even pass AfD if it were submitted as it is an essay and original research. All of these topics would fit well into the category for suicide.

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Thompson (folk rock band) albums. – Fayenatic London 19:32, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category not needed. Contains only one entry, for a single album recorded by an ensemble. --Another Believer (Talk) 13:49, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apologies, I thought that based on WP:MOS-ALBUM I had to create that category, as it states that "Each album should be placed in the two categories, Category:<Artist name> albums and Category:<year> albums".Dennisthemonkeychild (talk) 13:55, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedily deleted WP:G7. – Fayenatic London 07:33, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Empty, motivated by SPA editor that wants to promote BATTLEGROUND and edit war over contents -- Aronzak (talk) 10:55, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - POV pushing category (examine creator's other recent contributions). There is nothing "Jewish" about the crimes listed in this category, it is merely a clear antisemitic attempt to list Jewish criminals. Brad Dyer (talk) 17:35, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Salt There is no such thing as a "Jewish crime". There are, of course, Jewish criminals; and these are included in relevant categories, such as Category:Jewish-American mobsters. This category is a nasty POV attack, trying to equate all Jews with criminals, and it has no place on Wikipedia. RolandR (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question The category is a red lik. Is it already deleted or is there a typo in the nomination? RevelationDirect (talk) 18:42, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Historical gangs

The result of the discussion was: rename all to use former. (NAC) Armbrust The Homunculus 02:48, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per the spirit of WP:C2C, bringing a category into line with established naming conventions for that category tree. This nomination would change "historical" to "defunct" to match one parent category, Category:Defunct organizations, and change "of" to "in" to match the other parent category, Category:Gangs by city. My concern is that "historical" could also mean an old but still active gang but these categories are only intended to group gangs that no longer exist. (The preposition change was at Fayenatic's request and based on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 March 12#Gangs.) RevelationDirect (talk) 04:17, 27 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
