 * 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. MER-C 16:49, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting health care companies by millennium of establishment


 * Propose deleting health care companies established in the 3rd millennium


 * Propose deleting health care companies established in the 2nd millennium


 * Nominator's rationale: Not enough Health care companies to categorise by millennium. Only 3 centuries populated, the earliest 1886. Rathfelder (talk) 23:01, 6 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete All, for sure. Holy %@#&! Do you have any idea what you've unearthed here, Rathfelder?? There are 100s if not 1000s of these Categories by millennium - most of which have only 2 subcategories. It's like one of those horror movies where there's a toe sticking out of the ground -- with a whole cemetery's worth of dead bodies buried a little deeper....
 * And many of those 1st millennium subcats are dubious at best. For example, have a look at Category:Shopping malls by millennium of establishment. (Yes, "Shopping malls".) A whole slew of ridiculous nested categories were created -- all for the single article about... wait for it... Trajan's Market -- apparently the first-ever "Shopping mall".

 * Delete I think we should be sparing with "by millennium" categories, and limit it to topics where the categories before the 2nd millennium can be reasonably well populated. --BDD (talk) 16:18, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment Would agree with pruning the "by millennium" categories if it applies to all of them. But there are c24 different company categories (including healthcare companies) in Category:Companies by millennium of establishment; and Trajan's Market (a "shopping mall" ?) was established in 113 AD! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugo999 (talk • contribs)
 * Delete -- Millennium categories are a waste of space and should be removed wholesale. We do not need anything longer than centuries ever.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Category:Magic: The Gathering players

 * 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: withdrawn. More than a week of silence is enough to convince me I can be WP:BOLD here. --BDD (talk) 17:16, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose further subdividing Category:Magic: The Gathering players
 * Nominator's rationale: This is a true "Categories for discussion", as I don't advocate deletion. I was going to create Category:Japanese Magic: The Gathering players, since there's already a Category:American Magic: The Gathering players and enough people in the main category to support a Japanese category (probably some other nationalities too, though I haven't gotten that far). I hesitated when I saw a Japanese category had previously been deleted. The CfD only mentioned a German category, but I assume multiple categories were deleted (interestingly enough, not the American category).


 * I'm probably being overly cautious, given the age of the discussion. I'd like to proceed with further subcats for Category:Magic: The Gathering players. --BDD (talk) 17:15, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting breakthrough prize winners


 * Nominator's rationale: listify and delete per WP:OCAWARD, it is just one of many prizes that scientists may receive. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:14, 6 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete -- There seems no end to the violations of OCAWARD. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:51, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting virumaa

 * Delete as with related categories recently discussed. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:52, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
