 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * murder of meredith kercher


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete There's been a lot of effort put into not creating multiple articles related to this murder. The last thing we need is a category. In any case, the category currently contains two unused unfree images likely to be deleted in the coming days. Pichpich (talk) 23:33, 25 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. There seems to be little to put in a Murder of Meredith Kercher category - I can think of no pages that could be added except the main article and the article for the TV film. The only other candidates for inclusion are images such as this one.  Super Mario  Man  00:00, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, small category unlikely to grow. Also, at the time I'm writing this, its only contents are the images. Why was it created? Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --John (talk) 19:44, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:15, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Wikipedian Help Page Patrollers to Category:Wikipedian help desk patrollers
 * Nominator's rationale: The project page recently was renamed to Help desk patrol to clarify that it is for users who patrol the help desk and not those who patrol pages in the Help: namespace. -- Black Falcon (talk) 20:58, 25 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom, although not 100% convinced of the usefulness of a category to seek out those who regularly patrol the help desk. Presumably you wouldn't need to go seek out such users, as they would patrolling the help desk to answer whatever question you may have. VegaDark (talk) 21:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Category:Unsourced BLP Rescuers

 * 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: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * unsourced blp rescuers
 * Nominator's rationale: This so-far-empty user category is intended for users who either "rescue" (i.e., source, improve) unsourced BLPs or disagree with BLP deletionism. The first is a broadly defined but valid collaboration category but the second is a single-issue editing philosophy category (in truth, closer to a "support/oppose" category, for those who oppose WP:BLPPROD).
 * If the category is a collaboration category, then it could be renamed to Category:Wikipedian unreferenced BLP rescuers or Category:Wikipedians who rescue unreferenced BLPs—to add "Wikipedian" and replaced "unsourced" with "unreferenced" (per the WikiProjects). If it is not, then it should be deleted. Another option would be to delete the category in favor of using the structures of WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons and/or Unreferenced BLP Rescue (see members list) to pursue collaboration.
 * For now, I would say delete as empty, without prejudice to recreating as a 'members' or 'participants' category for the BLP Rescue Squad, if the project wishes it. -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:33, 25 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Seems to be empty for more than a year.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:38, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I created the category. I have no issues with the category getting deleted. If the nominator and other editors have no issues, I can delete the page myself (could someone kindly leave a note on my talk page in that case, as I am not watching this page?). Thanks and best.  Wifione    .......  Leave a message  09:36, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as inappropriately named category with zero actual users in it. We can allow creation of an appropriately named category that we can decide the merits on keeping if such a category created, but don't need to decide that now. VegaDark (talk) 21:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment isn't this what the article rescue squadron does? 65.94.45.160 (talk) 04:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Category:Dicrurus

 * The result of the discussion was: Merge. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Dicrurus to Category:Drongos
 * Nominator's rationale: Merge. Same genus. Dicrurus is the scientific name, Drongo is the common name.  I believe that the common name is usually preferred in such cases.  Dawynn (talk) 14:35, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering (talk) 21:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * rating-deferred g.i. joe articles


 * Nominator's rationale: Unneeded maintenance category Fortdj33 (talk) 13:06, 25 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The purpose of this category is not entirely clear, but it appears to be redundant to Category:NA-Class G.I. Joe articles (pages within the scope of WikiProject G.I. Joe that do not, at this time, require a quality assessment). -- Black Falcon (talk) 18:15, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per Black Falcon.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Category:Long-distance riding

 * 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 Category:Long distance motorcycle riding. Timrollpickering (talk) 19:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Long-distance riding to Category:Long-distance motorcycling
 * Nominator's rationale: Understandably, articles about long-distance bicyclists have started to be added to this category. Horsemen might be next. Best to state the obvious rather than be coy about what this category is for. Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:10, 25 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Wait until we see what happens with the main article which is up for renaming. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:16, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support regardless of what the main article is called, the ambiguity of the category name causes too many problems. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 05:35, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support – regardless of what the main article is called. My first guess for this would be horse riding. Occuli (talk) 13:15, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. Follow the article. Current consensus is "Long-distance motorcycle riding", but.. whatever the article ends up being called is what this category should be called. tedder (talk) 16:07, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The main article has been moved to Long distance motorcycle riding so the category should match that. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 01:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
