Category:Malvertisments

 * 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) 04:03, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting malvertisments


 * Nominator's rationale: Contains only four items: malvertising; a redirect to malvertising; and two sites that have hosted malvertising, Pornhub and XHamster. This isn't a defining characteristic for the sites, which leaves only one actual article. (But if retained, the category should be renamed to Category:Malvertising to match name of malvertising article.) Trivialist (talk) 23:39, 27 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. WP:SMALLCAT with no prospect of expansion as it's not a WP:DEFINING characteristic of anything in it except for its own eponym. Bearcat (talk) 19:49, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete There's no there there. If more articles specifically on this topic ever appear, we can reconsider. RevelationDirect (talk) 16:46, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:07, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting world war ii manufacturers of military equipment


 * Nominator's rationale: Doesn't really add any value to the encyclopedia. Not part of a category tree and not really of help for navigation as it would include thousands of articles and just add to nav box bloat. Concerns if the theme was extended some manufacturers could end up with hundreds of navboxes for each war/campaign they built equipment for. MilborneOne (talk) 08:04, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Split perhaps make a subsection for all the countries involved, IE World war iI manufacturers of military equipment in Germany" and so on, in order to reduce bloat. Iazyges   Consermonor   Opus meum  12:18, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete This almost seems like a performance category to me. Surely, the weapons specific to WWII may be defined by the conflict. But we have both defense contractors and civilian companies that existed before and after the war and would end up being added to other war categories.
