 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 20:08, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting contested candidates for speedy deletion


 * Nominator's rationale: This category is populated by a deprecated template: hang on. It does not really serve a purpose since the template is deprecated, and we now have Category:Speedy deletion candidates with talk pages. —MRD2014 📞 contribs 15:19, 5 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Question shouldn't the subcategory be nominated as well? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:25, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Nominated at Categories for discussion/Log/2017 May 13. —MRD2014 📞 contribs 14:11, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Left a notification at the talk page of Wikiproject Wikipedia. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:11, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no point in retaining the category as the contest button has thoroughly taken over and hang on is not used. Speedy deletion candidates with talk pages was the closest I could come to providing a similar functionality for a category to replace this one.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:57, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
