Nominator's rationale: Non-English. Appears to be an attempt to create an article, but placed in wrong namespace. DB1729 (talk) 21:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If I overstated my knowledge of Bahasa Malay language, I'd say it was "nil"... but this seems to be a history of the Sabah village of Api-Api. Whatever it is, it isn't a category. Grutness...wha? 14:25, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as this appears to be someone who was experimenting or put something in the wrong place but it's not a category. --Dan Carkner (talk) 04:34, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- I cannot say articleise, becasue it is not in English. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:22, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. I'm assuming good faith and say that the editor was trying to (incorrectly) export their draft article from user space to category space --Lenticel(talk) 01:58, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Alien zoos in fiction
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.
Nominator's rationale:delete per WP:NONDEF, in most articles in this category the concept of "alien zoo" is not mentioned and it is quite a stretch to deduct that the articles are about alien zoos after all. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to Category:Fiction about alien zoos and purge. Much of the contents do not fit the inclusion criteria, but 7 of the 16 articles probably do have this as a defining trait. Here's a rundown of the contents:
Rename/purge per LaundryPizza03, and I'd say keep Slaughterhouse-Five in it (zoo is central to the plot). Grutness...wha? 00:45, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rename per nom. The category needs a better defined scope, but this is not a reason for deletion. Dimadick (talk) 20:48, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Only one page. Upmerge to parent categories. Gonnym (talk) 13:39, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment' Sad enough that almost no one is aware and interested enough to populate this category. As a clear case of SMALLCAT it else must be deleted. --Just N. (talk) 12:27, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, meanwhile two subcategories have been added. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:25, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 19:12, 31 August 2021 (UTC) [reply]
Keep. Many University categories only have the two subcategories for staff and students.Rathfelder (talk) 18:31, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Upmerging would disrupt the tree, which should have one where the main article stands at its head. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:25, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: A pair of twin brothers does not a family (or necessary category) make. Nohomersryan (talk) 00:05, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I count only one set of twins in the category, not a pair of twins. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But a twin is only one person... Nohomersryan (talk) 17:27, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, the categories do not contain what they say they contain and there is probably no content to populate the categories otherwise. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:42, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
