 * musical artists who died at the age of 27

27 is an arbitrary age cutoff. We might as well have one for every profession at every age if this were allowable. There is an article titled 27 Club to try and substantiate the need for such a category, but that has virtually no sources for the supposed phenomenon, and even if it did all the names are already listed on that page, so no need for a category. VegaDark 23:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Variants of this have been deleted before. Honbicot 23:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as category with arbitrary inclusion criteria. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment (re: above) - if someone did die of laughter, and was 27, can we have a category for them... Lugnuts 14:18, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Would be specific enough? ;) --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or rename to Category:27 Club. I looked for the Janis Joplin article specifically because I wanted to find more about this "phenomenon" but didn't know where to look.  27 is not arbitrary, this age and as far as I can tell only this age has a reputation for untimely deaths of musicians.  While the article may be poorly sourced I expect multiple reliable sources could be found.  Certainly it would make no sense to create categories for every death age, but this particular category helps organize subjects around another topic.  &mdash;dgies tc 05:21, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete 27 Club has all this information in a better form. The article needs to be sourced.  Since the article already exists, the category does more harm than good. -- Sam uel Wantman 05:51, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

 * child abuse victims
 * fictional child abuse victims (subcat)
 * fictional incest victims (subcat of fictional abuse victims cat)


 * Delete all per nom. Honbicot 23:43, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nomination is wrong to say that being a victim of child abuse is not a defining characteristic: for many of the articles in this category, such as Victoria Climbié, it is the main reason for their notability. There may be a case for restricting the category's membership, but deleting the category would leave many articles from the most defining category they could be in. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say most of Victoria Climbié's notability comes from her murder, which places her in Category:British murdered children. If she'd never been mistreated in her life up until her killing, she'd still be notable as a young victim of murder whose case drew a lot of attention. There's no doubt that her history of abuse, along with the numerous missed opportunities to save her life, played a key role in the outrage surrounding her case. Nonetheless, she'd still be notable otherwise. szyslak  19:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply Sure, the murder was the main event that brought her to public attention. But the reasons that Climbié's murder became so notorious were centred on the stunning savagery of her treatment while alive, and the failure of the child protection services to adequately protect her; that sets her apart from other murdered children such as Holly Wells. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 06:44, 6 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete fictional incest victims. No opinion on the child abuse cats. Otto4711 15:47, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all per nom. Unfortunately it's far too common to be defining. Doczilla 20:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete fictional incest victims, Keep real. I don't understand the comment that says its not a defeining characteristic - may be too common in USA, not in UK. Rgds, --Trident13 21:25, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep To say that having been a victim of child abuse is not a defining characteristic is, frankly, pretty insensitive. Treybien 21:31 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is not the significance that characteristic had for individuals' that is relevant when deciding whether a category should exist, but their relevance to what those individuals did in their public lives. Brandon97 22:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete save it for imdb keywords Sleep On It 20:40, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per my comment above. Brandon97 22:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Carlossuarez46 00:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep real and Delete fictional. For real people this is absolutely a defining characteristic.  As noted, these articles need to be properly sourced to address any BLP concerns, but that is not reason to delete, rather it is a reason to watch for violations. --After Midnight 0001 04:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It is not a "defining characteristic". Most child abuse victims are not notable in the wider world. People have articles for other reasons. If anything it is the fictional ones that should be kept, as those fictional characters that have articles and suffered child abuse, will much more often be defined primarily by that characteristic. 21:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep sufficient material for category. Tim! 10:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't understand that comment. This has exactly three items - an article and two subcategories. Neither subcategory needs "Muppet people", and it's not obvious to me why David Homan needs his own unique category. Dugwiki 20:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * paul is dead


 * Delete category without room for growth. Jeepers. Doczilla 01:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep deletion would leave all articles contained therein uncategorised. Tim! 10:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - The seven articles in this category are about the rumors of Paul McCartney's death while he was a member of the Beatles (see Paul is dead). The category links them all together appropriately.  Moreover, if this category is deleted, it is unclear how to categorize articles such as "Paul is Dead" clues from Let It Be and "Paul is Dead" clues from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.  Dr. Submillimeter 10:38, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As noted in the nomination, they would be categorized under such things as Category:Paul McCartney, Category:Urban legends and Category:Conspiracy theories. There are homes for these articles in the absence of this category. Otto4711 15:13, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - Why mix these closely-related articles with general urban legend and conspiracy theory articles? That would hinder navigation.  This is a perfectly useful category; the category should be kept for these articles.  Dr. Submillimeter 20:30, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * How is navigation hindered when the main article Paul is dead has a section called "Clues" which consists of a list of links to the other articles in the category? Otto4711 21:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. The unique nature of the articles in this category suggests to me that they can only be categorized in this category.--Mike Selinker 20:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Why, if the category can be put in the urban legends category, can the individual articles not be? Otto4711 21:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep The category seems fairly harmless and keeps the fork articles from cluttering up bigger categories.  It seems that there is an advantage to having a single entry point for the subject instead of many. -- Sam uel Wan t man 19:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep (assuming the articles aren't deleted) I'm going to disagree with Otto on this one. It seems to me that for navigation purposes it would be better to have a single subcategory of Category:Conspiracy theories with seven articles than to have seven individual articles directly under Category:Conspiracy theories somewhat cluttering it up. On the other hand, I did notice that some of the articles are up for possible deletion, so my keep is contingent on these articles not being merged into a single article on the topic. If it's all merged into one main article then you don't need a category at that point. Dugwiki 20:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I also agree that if the articles are merged, this category can be deleted.--Mike Selinker 05:39, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - conditional on AFD survival. --After Midnight 0001 04:02, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep per precedent to keep Category:Laurel and Hardy (film series) etc. Tim! 10:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Films that have the Beatles in them do not constitute a series. Even if they did, there is extensive precedent for deleting film series categories, including categories for the Stuart Little films, the Poltergeist films, the film versions of Charlotte's Web, the Scary Movie film series, etc. Otto4711 15:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Also noting the deletion of Bruce Lee films and the directly on-point Elvis Presley films. Otto4711 16:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Surprisingly, I agree with this nomination. Other than the Beatles themselves, there are no common threads running through these movies: concert films, comedies, animated films, and so on.--Mike Selinker 19:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * 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.


 * The result of the discussion was: rename to "natice Americans" which is the most commonly used form.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  11:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Native American Chiefs of Pennsylvania to Category:Native American people from Pennsylvania
 * Nominator's Rationale:
 * Or should it be Category:Native American people of Pennsylvania? "From" or "of", I dunno. —Kevin Myers 19:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Support any of these or how about just Category:Native Americans from Pennsylvania?
 * There's the category Category:Native American tribes in Pennsylvania, so I wondered if "people", which is used in many categories of individuals, is needed to distinguish between the two categories. I dunno. They all work I guess. Whoever renames this can pick any of the above as far as I'm concerned. —Kevin Myers 03:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Note that the proposed rename would change the meaning sufficiently that some category members would have to be removed. For example, Cornplanter was the chief of a Native Pennsylvanian nation, but I don't believe that he ever lived in Pennsylvania himself (like most Iroquois, he was from New York state).  --M @ r ē ino 15:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Category:BLAME! → Category:Blame!


 * Strong Rename - I'm pretty sure this meets the criteria for a speedy on account of a rename. As far as I've read, Wikipedia articles are not titled in all caps and I'm sure this goes for categories. Have I made myself clear on this? A bot needs to move all of the given categorized pages to the proper category title.  ~ I&#39;m anonymous
 * Delete - there does not appear to be the level of material that would make this category necessary for navigational purposes. The contents (an improperly categorized article on the creator, articles on prequels and sequels, a gun and a "plot device") are all easily interlinked to each other through the lead article. The characters subcat should go in the Fictional characters category tree. Otto4711 20:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - then what should the Blame! articles be categorized under if the cats. were to be deleted?  ~ I&#39;m anonymous
 * Blame! is currently in the following categories: Manga series | Anime OVAs | Science fiction anime | Cyberpunk | Science fiction manga | BLAME! | Tokyopop | Seinen. I would say that this is sufficient categorization. The other articles appear to be similarly categorized. The only one that doesn't have a string of categories already is Net Terminal Genes and quite frankly that ought to be either deleted or redirected to the main article. Otto4711 20:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Category:Novels by author to Category:Books by author


 * Merge - all novels are books. I'm not seeing the organizational utility in maintaining a separate category structure for novels by author alongside books by author. I would like this nomination to encompass merging all of the subcats that have "books by" counterparts and renaming any that don't to the "books by" name structure. If any of that needs to be done separately, admins please advise. Otto4711 18:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * "all novels are books" - incorrect! :: Kevinalewis  : (Talk Page) /(Desk)  14:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong oppose There are already 270 sub-categories here. If all the plays, poems etc are added in, it will become enormous. Johnbod 18:52, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No one appears to have suggested doing anything with plays or poems. Otto4711 19:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought you meant when you wrote that you "would like this nomination to encompass merging all of the subcats that have 'books by' counterparts." Could you clarify for me? Thanks. — Malik Shabazz | Talk 19:07, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Meaning that any author who has both a "novels" subcat and a "books" subcat would have them merged by this nomination. So for example Category:Novels by Kurt Vonnegut would be merged to Category:Books by Kurt Vonnegut. Otto4711 20:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I see. Sorry that I misunderstood. — Malik Shabazz | Talk 23:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose I think it's useful to have separate sub-categories for novels, plays, poetry, etc, even though each may be a book. If they must be merged, I would suggest rather than ; some of the categories include books while others, such as  and, include individual stories and poems, not books. — Malik Shabazz | Talk 19:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have not suggested merging the short story, play or poetry subcats, as they are not in the "Novels by" category. Otto4711 20:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - novels should be in "novels by", short stories in "short stories by", All of these in a super category of "works by author" super-category. Which is much how many "Books by" categories are being used at present. :: Kevinalewis  : <sup style="color:#C90">(Talk Page) /<sub style="color:#C90">(Desk)  14:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * While I think it would be helpful to classify novels as a subset of "books" by a given author, a brief review of the categories as they are currently being used suggests that the categorization of novels between and  is often haphazard. I withdraw my opposition. — Malik Shabazz | Talk 23:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The fact that the existing organization is haphazard is no reason to put everything into one "pot". They needs gradual untangling. :: Kevinalewis  : <sup style="color:#C90">(Talk Page) /<sub style="color:#C90">(Desk)  14:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Would support merging Category:Novels by author into Category:Books by author This is an interesting nomination. I can see Otto's point that there is a great deal of redundancy between "Books by author" and "Novels by author".  It also seems to me that you could probably simply categorize novels by using "Books by author" and a subcategory of Category:Novels by genre.  For example, The Dead Zone (novel) would be categorized under Category:Books by author under Category:Books by Stephen King and also under Category:Horror novels. Those two categories alone would allow you to find the work by the same means as the present system. Namely you could search for it by author's name (using "Books by author") or find it by knowing it is a Horror novel.  The additional category Category:Novels by Stephen King doesn't seem to add any extra search utility compared to just using the two categories I mentioned. So I would I think support the idea of merging the subcategories of "Novels by author" into the corresponding subcategories of "Books by author".  Dugwiki 22:08, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm now very confused by what this nomination intends. You would have Books by author, which would include all the current ones in Novels, plus some poets, non-literary authors, and various other types, but you would still have many other authors only in the plays, poems, short stories etc categories. Plus the category gets hugely large. Is this what is intended, and if so, what is the supposed benefit? Johnbod 00:43, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why you're bringing plays, poems, short stories and such into this as the category structures for plays, poems and short stories are not a part of the nomination. What is under consideration here is Category:Novels by author and the subcategories of it that follow the "Novels by" naming construction. The proposal is to merge that category to Category:Books by author. As part of that merger, any category named "Novels by" (e.g. Category:Novels by Kurt Vonnegut) would be merged to its corresponding "Books by" counterpart (e.g. Category:Books by Kurt Vonnegut). Categories called "Poetry of" or "Short stories of" or "Short story collections of" or anything else would remain exactly as they are, because they are not called "Novels of" nor are they called "Books of" and they are not nominated or in any way contemplated by this nomination.

 * Ok - you can see above I'm not the only one to be confused. I'm still opposed; I think the distinction is useful & don't see why what will effectively be "Category:Books (including novels but not some other forms) by author" is an improvement. Johnbod 15:04, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I understand why, because the scheme is working well for "short stories by", "plays by", poems by" etc. and this scheme should extend consistently across the "works by author" landscape. I agree it is not consistent for books currently as "books" is a different beast to a novel, short story, peom, play etc all of which are various literary forms which is what "should" be being used here. :: Kevinalewis  : <sup style="color:#C90">(Talk Page) /<sub style="color:#C90">(Desk)  15:02, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose - so this would put the fiction and nonfiction books essentially in one parent category and then subcategorize books that collect poems or short stories? Or would those books go in the parent category and only the poems or short stories themselves go in the lower tier categories?  I support the current approach, of subcategorizing works into separate subcategories wherever possible.  To the extent a reworking of these categories is suggested, I'd recommend talking about it on the literature wikiproject pages first, as what we're talking about is a massive restructuring.  I note that there are ways the current scheme is less than perfect - my major complaint is that there is not a clear way to categorize commentary on works with the works themselves - but then, just about everything is less than perfect.  A Musing 19:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually it sounds like you're confused. This would not lump all books into a single category.  Rather, books would be divided in two ways: by-author, and by-genre.  All books regardless of genre would be divided by-author under Category:Books by author, and all books regardless of author would be divided by genre under Category:Books by genre (or a subcategory).  The only thing you wouldn't do it further divide "Books by genre" into "Books by genre subgrouped by author". Dugwiki 20:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is a confusing nomination, since it nominates a class of categories without specifying affected categories. So let's take one affected category I found: Category:Books by Vladimir Nabokov; right now, the books by author category has two subcategories: Category:Novels by Vladimir Nabokov and Category:Short story collections by Vladimir Nabokov.  In addition, the parent category of Category:Books by Vladimir Nabokov has essays, criticism, and memoirs; if this were fully built out, there is plenty of material for separate subcategories of criticism and essays, though only a bit of poetry and memoirs.  As I understand, this would eliminate the Novels subcategory, but leave the short story subcat and leave the possibility of a poetry or nonfiction subcat (which exist for other authors).  This strikes me as odd, since it would effectively mandate that one type of book, novels, not be subcatted, even while every other kind of book is potentially subcatted.  Please correct my reading if this is incorrect.  A Musing 21:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Question - Why do this? It isn't an overcategorization issue, since the categorized books will just change from having "Novels by X" to "Books by X" as a category, as they are not categorized in both now, and it seems inconsistent with the entire approach of breaking up books into subcats? Is this step 1 in eliminating all subcats? Because the subcats are useful since they then let us categorize "Novels by X" in "Novels by author" and "Poetry by X" in "Poetry by author", etc. Eliminate this and I have to weed through "Books by Karl Marx" and "Books by Stephen Hawking" when I'm looking to navigate a literature category? A Musing 21:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose, this seems too complicated a change to make with such an innocuous appearing nom. Suggest discussing this in another forum, such as an appropriate WikiProject or on a Village Pump to gain consensus of the many editors who would likely be affected by this but do not commonly find their way to this page. --After Midnight 0001 03:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose, Novels are not Books - Books are not Novels. Novels are normally delivered as Books and Books often contain Novels. They are related but you are comparing Apples and Trees. Not to mention the huge additional (or at least potentially huge) non-fiction arena. :: Kevinalewis  : <sup style="color:#C90">(Talk Page) /<sub style="color:#C90">(Desk)  14:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Question - could you name some novels that aren't books? Otto4711 04:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I;m not going to spend toomuch time on this - but one Tad Williams' "Shadowmarch" was for sometime available solely on the web. It has subsequenctly been published in book form. Also more so throughout publishing history that currently, novels were often published in serial form and only sometimes published later in books. If fact many never get/got as far as book publication. These of course would be the less notable which would be why we see fewer of those here. But they are a notable phenomena in the publishing world and certainly its history. :: Kevinalewis  : <sup style="color:#C90">(Talk Page) /<sub style="color:#C90">(Desk)  07:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

 * keep. Helpful grouping of participants in the war, no matter how transitory or unorganized. This is not about a grouping for the duration of history, only the duration of the war.  Hmains 21:14, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No, putting tribes into the category groups them for all history--that's what categories do. A category should be something fundamental to the identity of the tribe, not something transitory, like a centuries-old, short-term alliance. If we want to only group these tribes for the duration of the war, the way to do that is to list them in the article Western Confederacy, which we do. Everything in the category is listed in the article, so the category adds no new information.
 * And you haven't addressed the more fundamental problem: the category is factually inaccurate because these tribes were not participants in the war; members of the tribes were. As historian Richard White writes of the war:
 * [T]ribes in the pays d'ent haut were less meaningful as political than as ethnic units. The identity of Algonquians as Shawnees, Delawares, or Weas influenced their actions and political loyalties just as the identity of backcountry settlers as Scots-Irish, Germans, or Anglo Americans influenced their actions. But this did not mean that the Weas, Shawnees, and Delawares acted as unified political entities any more than the Scots-Irish, Germans, and Anglo Americans formed unified and independent political groups.


 * I hope you understand the point: it makes as little sense to categorize Delawares as participants in the Northwest Indian War as it does to categorize Scots-Irish people the same way. —Kevin Myers 22:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - Other nations are not grouped by alliance and should not be grouped by alliance; the resulting list of categories would be very long for some nations with long, written histories. These Indian nations themselves have probably had many alliances and affiliations, and categories for all of these things would be impractical.  I therefore recommend deletion.

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. It may be a separate genre, but as stated here the difference is really not objectively definable, per WP:OCAT.

 * bullet hell


 * Keep I do not play, but I think the players of these games understand the distinction and this is a definit subcategory of the larger category in that respect. Categories do not require WP:RS for distinction.  In this case, the article may or may not survive an XFD, but the category should remain distinct unless the article is deleted or merged, IMO. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 16:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. I don't play them, but this is apparently a specific sub-genfre. Further clarification may be needed if inclusion criteria are to be non-arbitrary. Doczilla 16:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete This category seems to have an overly subjective inclusion criteria (how do editors tell when something is a "bullet hell" game?). It also bothers me that the main article Bullet hell for the category doesn't appear to be referenced and doesn't verify whether or how the category should be defined, or even if the term is a generally accepted term in the video gaming industry.  My feeling is this is one of those times that it might be ok to keep the main article to discuss the general concept of "bullet hell games", provided the article can be properly referenced, but either way a category to list specific games that might fall under that definition is too subjective. Dugwiki 22:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Upmerge (or else lose the parent category altogether). The obvious ones (Takumi, Cave, Touhou) are preceded by their reputation; the non-obvious ones are borderline and debatable. –Unint 02:46, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - As an actual player of both these types of games, I feel this subgenre category should remain. Crithit5000 09:44, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Bullet hell is a defined enough genre to deserve a category. Scrolling shooters they may be, but the huge amounts of bullets being shot at you is the major difference between regular shooters, as well as the patterns they come in, which are a lot more complex. I think that it deserves a chance. --Ralf Loire (Annoy) 15:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep There is a broad categorization scheme for Rivers that categorizes the adjacent towns based on the riverways. It is a useful categorization scheme from several perspectives - historically, riverways were generally defining features in the development of regions and economies, currently, riverways continue to be used for transport and travel, and, in general, these are defining features.  Canals are a subcat of Rivers in this scheme. Unless there is a good argument for this canal being different than all the other ones, I'd keep. A Musing 19:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Analysis of Category:Canals by country shows that in general, canals do not have an associated category that contains the townships it runs through. This looks like an article in category space, and the actual article is better.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  11:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not sure why it is relevant that categories have not been created for many canals - for those canals where categories have been created, like Category:Erie Canal or Category:Kennet and Avon Canal, the category generally includes communities through which the canal runs. It's an ideal use for a category, since in many cases the list will be too long for the main article, while the canal will often be an important item in the article about the community.  Why is it relevant again that most of the minor canals on Wikipedia don't have categories?A Musing 14:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

 * rename. "Celebrities" seems a word best avoided.--Mike Selinker 04:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak support renaming. "Celebrities" is clearly inappropriate per previous discussions, but "personalities" seems a bit vague, though I can't think of anything better. This category appears to consist not of people who have been involved in the technical aspects of the internet, but rather those who have been made famous through exposure on or in relation to the internet. I am not advocating deletion, but I wonder whether it is still useful to classify people in this way? It would have made some sense in 1999 when internet celebrity was still a novel concept, but essentially this is a  people by the news medium which made them famous category. Would we/do we have a similar category for people made famous by print media? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Aren't categories for television actors, authors, producers, screenwriters, etc. essentially categorizing people by the medium for which they are famous? Otto4711 20:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Those seem to me to be categories by occupation, i.e. about what people do, and we subdivide occupational categories quite heavily. But once someone is a celebrity, they tend to be a celebrity across all media. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:10, 4 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose Either propose an umbrella nomination of grandparent Category:Celebrities and all subcats (including Category:Internet celebrities) and subsubcats such as this one. This cat is named correctly unless umbrella nom succeeds. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 16:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment the grandparent Category:Celebrities only contains articles about the subject of celebrity, not a list of celebrities, and most of the subcategories that were lists of celebrities have already been deleted in previous CfDs.

 * Again, that would not be appropriate, because neither Category:Celebrities nor most of its subcategories contain articles about individual celebrities.
