 * Propose deleting suspected wikipedia sockpuppets of doglicker9912


 * Nominator's rationale: I admittedly botched the creation of this category, as there was already one that was relevant to this sock. Please delete this as soon as possible, with no objections from yours truly. D arth B otto talk•cont 23:32, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Category:UK locations with ethnic minority-majority populations

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:04, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting uk locations with ethnic minority-majority populations


 * Nominator's rationale: Having an "ethnic minority-majority population" is not a permanent WP:DEFINING characteristic of a town or district. For info: The inclusion criteria for this category are rather complex. If this information is needed in WP then it's better handled as a list (with dates and references) than as a category.  For info: there is already List of English districts and their ethnic composition and Lists of UK locations with large ethnic minority populations. An example of a previous similar CFD is Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_March_20.  DexDor (talk) 20:02, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per nominator. Like other demographic factors, the ethnic mix of an area fluctuates, and can change radically in the space of only a few decades.  So it is not a permanent defining characteristic. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:06, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Beyond the problem that this is a changeable characteristic of the place, who is an "ethnic minority" is a tricky thing to define. Are Roma ethnic minority? Jewish immigrants from Poland? Polish immigrants? Immigrants from Turkey? Immigrants from Greece? If not the last, why not? Hispanics? If so, are immigrants from Spain ethnic minority people?John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:14, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, after checking that the list Lists of UK locations with large ethnic minority populations is adequate, per African-American precedent. "ethnic minority" is a term well understood in UK, and will cover a multitude of post-WWII immigrant communities, but I do not think this is a good basis for a category.

Category:Wikipedia general sanctions

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:01, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Wikipedia general sanctions to Category:Wikipedia articles under general sanctions
 * Nominator's rationale: The new name describes the content of the category better, as it doesn't contain project pages. Armbrust The Homunculus 16:13, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Category:Oil painters

 * 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. Good Ol’factory (talk) 20:12, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting category


 * Nominator's rationale:Just set up. If it was complete it would contain maybe 15,000 members. As it is the creator has added about 65 and moved on to other stuff. The vast majority of the parent Category:Painters should go in, and as the default for Western painting artists since about 1500 it isn't really defining or useful.  If kept it should be renamed Category:Painters in oils, the idiomatic term.  Johnbod (talk) 13:11, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


 * delete so common as to be not useful to differentiate from the many other painters categories we have.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 01:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - we have Category:Artists by medium which includes Category:Watercolorists. Not voicing an opinion on the category as I see arguments on both sides. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 02:18, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm fine with the far smaller & more specialized Category:Watercolorists (most of whom of course used oil at least sometimes), and the other by medium cats we have. I would not want to see a fresco painter category, nor pastellists etc. Nor should sculptors (unlike sculptures) be divided into bronze, stone etc. Johnbod (talk) 03:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Category:Pastel artists also exists. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 04:14, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Another nomination to do then - none of the famous ones are there of course. Johnbod (talk) 04:34, 6 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep -- If we have by medium categories, there is not reason not to have this one. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:57, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Reasons have been given above. Johnbod (talk) 02:41, 8 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. Too common to be defining. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:32, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:38, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting shubdubs


 * Nominator's rationale: Delete as there is no article on the band or rename to Category:Shubdubs members based on the contents of the category. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 05:30, 11 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Armbrust The Homunculus 09:25, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete of course. Johnbod (talk) 13:33, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Category:National Basketball Association players from Latin America

 * 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: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:00, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:National Basketball Association players from Latin America to Category:National Basketball Association players by national origin
 * Nominator's rationale: This category forms an unnecessary layer of categorization. There is no organizational improvement brought about by splitting Category:National Basketball Association players by cultural or geographic region, in addition to national origin. All of the affected national categories can be found in corresponding categories of Fooian basketball players, Expatriate basketball people in the United States, and Fooian expatriates in the United States, and there are no categories of Latin American basketball players or Latin American expatriates in the United States. -- Black Falcon (talk) 05:52, 5 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment - There is a similar Category:Major League Baseball players from Latin America, so perhaps that should be discussed with this.Hoops gza (talk) 17:08, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - unnecessary category layer. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 22:09, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
