 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) sst✈(discuss) 05:14, 27 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting emília vášáryová


 * Nominator's rationale: This category only contains the main article Emília Vášáryová and Emília Vášáryová filmography. I don't think it aids navigation much as the two articles already link to each other. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:19, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Per WP:EPONCAT and WP:SMALLCAT. No objection to recreating if the article count can grow to 5 or so. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:43, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:20, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Bigg Boss 9 contestant to Category:Bigg Boss participants
 * Nominator's rationale: Separate category is not required season-wise. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 15:52, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge. Redundant with the list at Bigg Boss 9 and with the more general Category:Bigg Boss participants. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:57, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:20, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting project runway (u.s. series) judges


 * Nominator's rationale: I realize we have a lot of reality show judges categories... this particular one seems to be a textbook example of WP:PERFCAT and non-defining for the massive number of otherwise notable people who have appeared in such a role. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:53, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Clicking through these, most seem like they were hired because they were famous, not famous because they were judges. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:45, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -- clearly offends against perhormance by performer prohibition. I am less concerned about a contestants category as the people concerned may be notable for nothing else, but "celebrity contestants" ought to be excluded from that (or listified).  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:37, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, that was my thinking too, and why I only nominated the celebrity judges category. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:50, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Category:Southwest periods by people

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:19, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting southwest periods by people


 * Nominator's rationale: redundant category, uses vague term "southwest" to describe precontact cultures spanning the US and Mexico. While the category says "periods" no archaeological periods are given, just four precontact cultural groups. Poorly worded, cultures are all categorized adequately elsewhere Yuchitown (talk) 04:50, 17 November 2015 (UTC)Yuchitown

Category:People listed in Hummel's Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:17, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting people listed in hummel's eminent chinese of the ch'ing period


 * Nominator's rationale: I don't understand the point of this category. Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period is just a biographical dictionary for the Qing dynasty (a.k.a. "Ch'ing Period"). It's not a primary source. Whether somebody is included or not included is completely arbitrary. It's kind of like Category:People listed in Encyclopædia Britannica, and I don't see anyone creating that category. (And while EB is continuously revised and updated, Hummel's book only has 1 version — from 1943). Timmyshin (talk) 04:45, 17 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete As non-defining. Note that we also have Category:Wikipedia articles incorporating a citation from the Cyclopaedia of American Biography which is similarly problematic.. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:52, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. OCAT by source, but we still insist on keeping crap like Category:Bayer objects, Category:Henry Draper Catalogue objects, Category:Hipparcos objects, and Category:Durchmusterung objects. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:13, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete -- I do not think the Britannica is the right analogy: it would be Category:People listed in Dictionary of National Biography, but it would still be overcategorisation. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:42, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
