Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because it's a valid category, the CFD happened too long ago to be enforced via G4 and the recent DRV didn't result in expliciti consensus against recreation. --Armbrust The Homunculus 09:08, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The DRV closed today endorsed the CfD result, the age of which does not matter. It also concluded explicitly that there was no consensus for creating the category again (actually neither for or against). This absence of consensus about recreation is therefore trumped by the last re-endorsed consensus, which was for deletion. Creating the category against despite this still ongoing deletion review was only done to add fuel to another ongoing CfD discussion about an individual radio station. As is cited in this discussion, nominations at CfD have shown a longstanding consensus against individual radio station categories. This is not a "valid category".

 * No, the DRV closure said "There is no consensus about whether to recreate it", and that's completely different than what you say above. Armbrust The Homunculus 11:37, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy deletion is explitly only for uncontroversial cases. The most recent discussion about the category resulted in no consensus regarding whether it should or should not be recreated, so deletion is not uncontroversial and it therefore not eligible for speedy deletion. I will remove the tag, but note this is without prejudice to CfD but I strongly encourage a discussion to establish what the current consensus actually is (per the DRV) first.

 * "First" before what? Seen the DRV, I would think that it is strongly advisable to establish what the current consensus actually is before re-creating the category, not before nominating it to CfD, which is a venue for discussion. Place Clichy (talk) 13:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, the discussion should have happened first, but it didn't. So the second best thing to do is to have the discussion now. It's clear from the DRV, this discussion and the KCRW CfD that any consensus there was (and it is not universally agreed that there was) about radio station categories might have changed so holding of on both deletions and deletions nominations is the least disruptive thing to do. Even aside from that, if there are good faith objections that a speedy deletion criterion applies then it does not apply, and this applies regardless of what general consensus exists regarding that type of page.

 * I am sorry for misreading the comments, which I thought allowed the recreation. That said, I think this category has enough merit to exist. --evrik (talk) 03:50, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Opposed speedy rename request

 * Category:KROQ to Category:KROQ-FM – C2D: per KROQ-FM. Armbrust The Homunculus 19:05, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Ehhh, KROQ is okay. Most of the articles in the category don'y have FM. --evrik (talk) 20:22, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
