 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:34, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * templates to userfy


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Was populated by Userfy/GUS, which was speedily deleted due to CSD T3 (duplicate; see [). No templates populate this category now (the duplicate template either populates a different category, or was also deleted). Without anything to populate it, this category will always be empty. – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 22:13, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Merge to Category:Cuban rabbis. Timrollpickering (talk) 18:18, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * chief rabbis of cuba


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Only one article in cat. The other, Shmuel Szteinhendler, is by one source "considered to be" but is not actually Grand Rabbi of Cuba, and there hasn't been one there since 1958. Not only that, the cat name is incorrect. MSJapan (talk) 17:09, 13 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge to if deleted. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:51, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Category:Cuban rabbis.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:19, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Category:Cuban rabbis. There is no reason to have a separate category for Cuban chief rabbis, having regard to the size of the Jewish community. Davshul (talk) 11:05, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Category:American sportspeople of European descent

 * 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) 18:18, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * american sportspeople of european descent


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. Subcategories for this category were previously upmerged, but not to this category; and Category:American people of European descent is not maintained for individuals for the same reasons for deleting this category, so an upmerge there is unnecessary. The majority of U.S. citizens have been of European descent, so there isn't, according to the majority of WP contributors, encyclopedic value for this category.  Moreover, there are next to no sources for ancestry claims in general, including here.  (Ultimately, all WP categories for ancestry need to be deleted for this reason.)

 * Delete vague, trivial intersection, useful unuseful, unspecificCurb Chain (talk) 03:57, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete This is not a useful category. I am also thinking that there needs to be some inspection of the whole Category:Americans of European descent and its subcats.  These suffer from lots of inclusions with no support from the article.  They also suffer from some people who get laudry-lists of their ancestral origins with no clear reason why it matters to that person.  That is going to be the tougher ones to deal with, because there is in text mention.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:21, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not useful either for navigation or classification, so delete. Neutralitytalk 19:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete trivial triple intersection. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Category:Wrong title templates

 * The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2D. Timrollpickering (talk) 15:31, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Wrong title templates to Category:Correct title templates
 * Nominator's rationale: (might be speedy, but I don't know how to do this with Twinkle.) Should be renamed to "Correct title templates", because the main template of this category was renamed (this move is a bit random, it's not completely visible to me as a normal user).

 * The result of the discussion was: Speedy rename C2A. Deletion can be considered separately. Timrollpickering (talk) 11:32, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Wikipedians Who Have Adopted A Typo to Category:Wikipedians who have adopted typos (or delete)
 * Nominator's rationale: This is an odd category for editors who monomaniacally seek out and kill specific typos. Seems a bit narrowly focused to me, but regardless, it should have proper capitalization and grammar.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 05:38, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Contemporary fantasy to Category:Contemporary fantasy novels
 * Nominator's rationale: Beacuse this category is a subcategory of Category:Fantasy novels by subgenre should include only novels; to avoid other kind of material, like comics, games and the like, this category should be named Contemporary fantasy novels ElmerHomero (talk) 02:49, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
