 * 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. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting wikipedia sockpuppets of kefalonitis94


 * Nominator's rationale: There is no indication that this category will ever have enough members to make it useful. The category was created by a sockpuppeter, now banned. Binksternet (talk) 19:29, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete Per WP:G5, creation by a banned user. RevelationDirect (talk) 00:34, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Not Valid WP:G5 does not apply as the user was not a banned user at the time of creation (From G5, "To qualify, the edit or article must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked" - he wasn't until nealy a month later. However, the rest of the arguments may be valid.  85.255.232.143 (talk) 12:51, 30 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete: Housecleaning. Category will never be used, user is banned. KDS4444 (talk) 17:26, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Support This list does not belong in article space. I happily support the speedy delete.  Lucis Aeternae 03:29, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

Category:Timelines in economics

 * 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) 03:22, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting timelines in economics


 * Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:SMALLCAT, it contains just one subcategory and is thus an unnecessary category later. No need to merge, the one subcategory is already sufficiently parented. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:41, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Neutral (as creator). Don't remember whether the category contained more entries at the time of creation. Generally it seems there is plenty of room for expansion, but I don't really care. --PanchoS (talk) 10:54, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Support I can see the point about a sparse category. But there are articles like Timeline of the economy of the Indian subcontinent which would fit here and simply haven't been added yet. Hence I support, but would have no problem with recreation if someone wanted to populate it.  Lucis Aeternae 03:35, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Upmerge to both parents. Company histories are not a facet of economics, but they may be of economic history.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:10, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Just to avoid misunderstandings, Category:Company histories (the other parent of the subcategory) is already a grandchild category of Category:Economic history so the proposal keeps everything within the tree of Category:Economic history anyway. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:28, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Category:Statistical terminology

 * 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) 06:19, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting statistical terminology


 * Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, there aren't any articles about terminology in here, it's all direct statistical content. No need to merge, all articles are somewhere in the tree of Category:Statistics already. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:40, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * keep the articles are about terminology and that is why they are in this category, which is a proper subcategory of Category:Terminology along with all the other subcats therein. Deletion is of no help to the reader of WP who wants to find the terminology used in statistics without having to just wonder around in the Category:Statistics hunting for them. Hmains (talk) 04:43, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't agree, the articles are about particular statistical terms. But nearly all articles in the statistics tree are particular statistical terms, currently there is only a random selection of these terms in this category, which isn't helpful at all. Articles that might be useful to find in this category, but don't exist, are e.g. Bayesian terminology and Linear regression terminology. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The articles (at least all those I've looked at) are not about terminology. Each article has a title that may be a term and should begin with a definition of that term, but that doesn't mean the article is about terminology - the article is about the topic that the term refers to. For example, "Apple" is a term used when discussing fruit, but the Apple article doesn't belong in a "Fruit terminology" category. Regarding "all the other subcats" I suggest you look at WP:OSE and consider how many terminology categories have already been deleted (some examples). DexDor(talk) 17:21, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom (unless anyone finds a significant number of articles that are actually about statistical terminology). For example, the topic of Statistical epidemiology belongs at the intersection of statistics and epidemiology - not under linguistics. DexDor(talk) 17:21, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete We have Glossary of probability and statistics and Notation in probability and statistics as articles that would fit this category, but those are the only two I could find. Hence, after cleaning out the non-terminology articles, there would be only two entries, which is a bit small.  Lucis Aeternae 03:45, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting meknès-tafilalet geography stubs


 * Nominator's rationale: A stub category with no articles. The region in question, Meknès-Tafilalet, was abolished last year. Template and category are nominated for deletion together, as you can't have one without the other. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 05:04, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. I emptied the category yesterday – the stubs are now all in Category:Fès-Meknès geography stubs. Cobblet (talk) 05:21, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Support Looks like routine clean up.  Lucis Aeternae 03:46, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting volodymyr ivasyuk


 * Propose deleting dmytro hnatyuk Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:59, 24 May 2016 (UTC)}}
 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary layer of categorization per WP:OCEPON. Each has one song article and already categorized in the appropriate songs category (Category:Volodymyr Ivasyuk songs and Category:Dmytro Hnatyuk songs). Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:57, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete for Now With no objection to recreating if they can get up to 5 or so direct articles. RevelationDirect (talk) 00:35, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
