 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting wikipedians who listen to roots music
 * Nominator's rationale: I'm admittedly not an expert on music terminology, but one of the following must be true:

Since we generally prefer to defer to mainspace in category discussions, proposing deletion. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) The article roots music should be a broad-concept article rather than a dab page.
 * 2) This category is overcategorizion of unrelated music genres with shared names and should be deleted.
 * Delete per nom. Far too broad to support collaboration on any specific topic. VegaDark (talk) 15:06, 11 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The above is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

Category:Wikipedians who listen to alternative music

 * 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. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  13:16, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Wikipedians who listen to alternative music to Category:Wikipedians who listen to alternative rock
 * Nominator's rationale: These appear to duplicate each other, since the first category wikilinks to alternative rock. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per Alternative music suggesting this category is far broader than simply alternative rock, and therefore far too broad to support collaboration on any given topic on Wikipedia. VegaDark (talk) 15:04, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Also fine with deletion. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:14, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per VegaDarktoo vague. JBchrch   talk  21:19, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who listen to acid

 * 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 (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting wikipedians who listen to acid
 * Nominator's rationale: Hopelessly ambiguous category - there are multiple things this could refer to and no way of knowing which one. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, and suggested a broader nomination for this entire category tree - User categories are intended for collaboration, and categorizing users based on what music they "listen" to has no bearing on that unless you believe that people are automatically interested in collaborating on topics related to music they listen to, which I would consider false. I myself listen to types of music that I would not necessarily be interested in collaborating on. If that's the goal of these categories, they should be renamed to better reflect that (such as Category:Wikipedians interested in collaborating on topics related to Jazz, as an example.

 * Propose deleting pregnancy in literature
 * Propose deleting teenage pregnancy in literature
 * Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant category layers with one subcategory each, and it overlaps with the better populated Category:Novels about human pregnancy. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete both per nom. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  13:18, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting songs about disc jockeys
 * Nominator's rationale: Just a bunch of songs that have DJ in the title. Doesn't seem to be a defining trait for most of them. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:06, 10 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The lyrics aren't really about disc jockeys. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:28, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Non-defining and trivial connection. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 17:18, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete as trivial. It's not even a category with songs about DJs. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 23:06, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete this is trivial.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:08, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Topics in film to Category:Films by topic
 * Nominator's rationale: There is a total overlap between categories, per WP:NONDEF. Subcategories should also, at least eventually, be changed to the "Films about X" name format. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:50, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Category:Anti-white racism in North America
<div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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: merge/delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  13:29, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Anti-white racism in North America to Category:Anti-white racism
 * Propose deleting Category:Anti-white racism in Africa
 * Propose deleting Category:Anti-white racism in Europe
 * Nominator's rationale: merge/delete, redundant category layer with one subcategory each. The European and African category do not have to be merged because the subcategory of each will remain in the tree as subcategories of Category:Racially motivated violence against white people. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 10 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge/delete per nom. * Pppery * <sub style="color:#800000">it has begun... 21:23, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: If merged, these also need selective merge to both parents. As well as sub-cats, there are now also a couple of redirects to sections. When I closed the previous CFD, I had not noticed that each is also part of a hierarchy in e.g. of "Anti-X racism in Africa" categories. – Fayenatic  L ondon 11:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That is fair enough. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:31, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
