Category:Miscellaneous engineers
"Miscellaneous" is ambiguous. There is currently only 1 article. &mdash; Instantnood 07:26, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * This sub-category was listed for deletion on April 9, 2005. Consensus was to Delete. The following discussion from CFD is now closed and should not be modified.
 * Keep It's obviously intended to be ambiguous, and to serve as a waypoint in the creation of new subcategories as necessary.  It serves a useful purpose when you are in Category:Engineers and this fits under "subcategories" along with other specific branches, which are not all-inclusive.  It also gives people unsure of the subclassification a logical place to put them; somebody will probably eventually put it in a sharper category, if it is noticed in this subcategory.

 * Delete I don't see any logical difference between putting an article in this category vs the parent category:engineers category. Also violates BOTH of the guidelines at WP:CG (although it is amusing to imagine an article which should obviously be in this category - perhaps it would start J. Doe was a miscellaneous engineer from a miscellaneous country who lived in a miscellaneous era of history ...). -- Rick Block 16:36, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. No need for a "miscellaneous" category - just put those entries into the parent.   --Azkar 20:24, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. I think Miscellaneous should be a banned word in category names.  I can't think of any case where just leaving it out wouldn't be better. --ssd 13:26, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ssd took the words out of my mouth. -- Linuxbeak 03:34, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
