 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 07:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting helmville, montana


 * Nominator's rationale: Location category with just 1 entry. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 22:59, 23 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. Not only is it just one entry, the only entry is itself, so there's really nothing there. kennethaw88 • talk 06:20, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Very unlikely to expand beyond 1 article anytime soon. VegaDark (talk) 05:54, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete for Now with no objection to recreating if it ever gets up to 5 articles or so. RevelationDirect (talk) 15:28, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Every place that exists does not automatically get an eponymous category just to contain itself — and since this is an unincorporated rural community, there's not likely to actually be enough spinoff content to justify one anytime soon. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when five or six potential articles for it actually exist, but the standard for the creation of eponymous categories is most certainly not "as soon as the eponym exists", if the eponym itself is the only thing there is to file in it.

 * The result of the discussion was: split per nom. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:42, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Uncertainty of numbers to Category:Statistical theory and Category:Numerical analysis and Category:Measurement
 * Nominator's rationale: split, the category is currently a mishmash of two quite unrelated mathematical subfields and there is no article Uncertainty of numbers. A few articles that fit in neither statistics nor in numerical analysis may be upmerged to Category:Measurement. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:27, 23 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Split per nom. The fact there's no Uncertainty of numbers article seals the deal for me. VegaDark (talk) 05:54, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

Category:Watch Dogs

 * 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: procedural close, category has already been deleted (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting watch dogs


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT. There only exists 2 pages that can be contained in this category, Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2. It is unconventional to create a category for just a game and its sole sequel. The1337gamer (talk) 18:03, 23 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. I'm not sure WP:SMALLCAT 100% applies here since there is some possibility for expansion - there could be more games, for instance, or other media created on this series that could eventually qualify for an article and be placed in here - but at this point that's speculative, and can be re-created at such time that occurs and there's enough to warrant a category.
