This category contains stadtholders who have governed in one or more provinces of the historical region of the Low Countries. The provinces are at the centre, not the dynasties/States. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 20:05, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

The category Stadtholder in the United Provinces provides an overview of articles on stadtholders who no longer acted [as governors] for the monarch, but for the States-General. The first ones, who were appointed during the Revolt, did not yet, strictly speaking, do so for the Republic.I could agree with that, but...

I created this category, but figured it would have a slim chance of survival. I'm excited to learn more about Wikipedia via the deletion process for the entry. Spellbinding Nitwit (talk) 16:58, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

If you don’t want to end up blocked or banned like [this person to whom your actions bear little or no similarity]is a pretty common way to phrase an (ignored) threat; it’s a very odd way to phrase an explanation. The page you link to is a personal essay, that’s why it’s inside your user area and has the words “This is an essay” as the first words on the page. Yikes. To review the relevant facts, there is no unqualified rule
not to empty categories, but rather that one should not do so while they are listed on this page. I removed numerous unsupported articles several days ago, not even realising that I had all but emptied the category (save one article). That article turned out to be unsupported too. I then realised I ought to do something about the category, and a search of the labyrinthine process pages brought me here. I now realise I should have used C1 to avoid being harangued by users very keen for me to read their lengthy user pages. Read mine if you like – I used three words.

take" anyone’s time, but given their free will I will rest easy in not having done so. A simple “wrong venue, this should be tagged speedy deletion not posted here” (of the kind used, including by me, at myriad other noticeboards), would suffice to signpost unfamiliar editors (I wrote those 11 words in ~ 12 seconds). Or they can simply ignore it, thus avoiding any perception of wasted time. As I indicated in my previous post, you’ve cured me of my egregious unfamiliarity with category deletion procedure for categories in which no articles’ categorisation is supported by RS - abstruse enough that in four years I’ve not had cause to understand it until a couple of days ago. Given my and Grorp’s experience of the
very knowledgeableeditors here, I’m glad to know there is a less tiresome route to removing inappropriately created categories for which there is no available supported content. Thank you again for the point to the appropriate method. I hope that the simple collegiate courtesy found at other central discussion boards can at some point migrate to this one.

no desire to get involved in the intricacies of wiki category esotericsand then
not really interested, you continued to push the matter. And after
quit pestering me about it, here you are doing it again. Please stop! I get it; you think you're right, you think I'm wrong, you want to set me straight. But I don't care. Just stop! Grorp (talk)
