 * albemarle, north carolina


 * Nominator's rationale: This category has existed since 2007, yet still has only two articles. The city's population is under 16,000. Delete. - Eureka Lott 21:37, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Keep, as the nominator is a sockpuppet of a blocked user, and no other users have participated. If any one else thinks this should be deleted, feel free to nominate it yourself. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * comedy writing emmy winners


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete. The category is based on a false premise. Television series don't win writing Emmy awards. The writers of the series or episodes do. Harley Hudson (talk) 18:50, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Propose deletion of dominican republic jehovah's witnesses


 * Nominator's rationale: Empty category per notability criteria for categories about people Jeffro 77  (talk) 13:18, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Rename or Delete If renamed:  It doesn't seem to be titled properly.Curb Chain (talk) 18:59, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. Salomón Torres was previously in the category but was removed by the nominator, which should have been disclosed. (That said, I think removal of this article from the category was probably a correct action.) If kept, the category is named correctly per conventions. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Probably could have mentioned Torres. However, there is only passing mention of his religion in a brief news item, and his religion in that item has nothing to do with his notable activities. Per the criteria for categories about people, he does not belong in the category.-- Jeffro 77 (talk) 08:45, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Religious buildings by year

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 19:08, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Religious buildings established in 1901 to Category:1901 religious buildings
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. The parent categories were renamed in this discussion to eliminate established as not appropiate for buildings and to follow the form of Category:nnxx-century foo. The by year categories need to follow, the question is what should the new form be?  The name as proposed seems to be the logical follow on.  If this test nomination results in a rename, the remaining year categories can be renamed under speedy. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:26, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Category:Ancient Christian sites

 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering (talk) 19:08, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Ancient Christian sites to Category:Christian sites of the Roman Empire
 * Nominator's rationale: Rename. Current name is kind of ambiguous. The header defines the contents to be for the time of the Roman Empire which runs up to about AD 476.  So the end date is ambiguous and when does the period begin?  If there is a better name, go for it.  I would not oppose deletion if that is where consensus lies. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:10, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Support - rationale as above concerning the header but (if there any ancient sites outside ther empire) consider keeping both so that Category:Christian sites of the Roman Empire becomes a subcategory of Category:Ancient Christian sites. I don't see any ambiguity though (see Ancient history). --Northernhenge (talk) 13:38, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
