Category talk:Anti-Christian sentiment

No consensus whatsoever on category deletion and subsequent loss of valuable data
There was quite obviously "no consensus" when it came to the impending deletion of "Anti-Christianity and related" cats. , as there are 11 votes to keep, 10 to delete. So, could you please rescind the deletion and allow at least another week or so in order to allow more discussion of this rash deletion? Categories that are this large, complex, and all-encompassing obviously need more time to be discussed and 'voted' on, as users that are interested them may not even know that they are up for deletion/discussion yet! I feel that the deletion of the anti-Judaism, anti-Christianity, anti-Mormonism, anti-Islam, anti-Hinduisms, and anti-Buddhism categories are happening FAR too fast, and like I said many of the people that work on these categories or would work on them aren't even aware that they are up for deletion, and thus cannot contribute to the voting or discussion (I myself missed the deletion of the anti-Islam and anti-Mormon categories, which I would have voted to keep if I had only known of their impending deletion). Categories that are controversial and of this broad importance (religious intolerance/bigotry is an important subject of academic and popular study) obviously need to have extended periods of discussion and 'voting' before these deletions take place so rashly after only a few days (for instance, the people voting for the deletion of these categories haven't even been involved with them before they voted to delete them all!). Also, since Category:Antisemitism will obviously never be deleted, I'm not sure why all of these other "anti-[religion] categories" are being put up for deletion so quickly; this is pure hypocrisy. The data loss is going to be enormous if you people go through with these deletions (data loss has already has been quite bad with anti-Islam and anti-Mormon, and now anti-Christianity as well), and frankly it would be idiotic to lose these umbrella categories that group all of these closely related religiosocial topics together, which facilitates easier interdisciplinary research...for instance, anti-Hinduism has over 30 articles; anti-Judaism, nearly 25; anti-Catholicism, nearly 40; anti-Buddhism, 11...plus the other religions. Again, please allow more discussion and voting to occur before deleting ALL of these important categories and sub-categories, if only to prevent such massive data loss! --Wassermann 04:11, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
