 * Propose deleting user navi-1
 * Nominator's rationale: "navi" is not a valid language code. The collaborative value of a category grouping users who have a basic understanding of a constructed language invented for a film is questionable. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:25, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment it would depend on the language community, if it were as active as the Klingon speakers or the Sindarin/Quenya speakers, or Esperanto speakers. It does have the IETF code "art-x-navi" so it would seem there would be some users. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 20:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete as a wrong category type for its purpose. If anything it should be Category:Wikipedians interested in Avatar (2009 film). (I did not know what this was about until I read Na'vi language just now.) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:33, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep all part of an established hierarchy of categories, and isn't polo increasing in popularity, so cats all have potential to expand. Pam  D  20:13, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Support Other taxa are not segregated in this arbitrary manner. –LaundryPizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 17:21, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Makes sense, including the new category Category:Edible echinoderms that fits the scheme. --AlienFood (talk) 08:54, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm neutral on the matter, but aren't the vast majority of fish edible? Is this really that defining of a characteristic for a category? Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 19:28, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair question, but that requires a separate discussion about the target. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. In fact I think a better argument could be made for reverse merging Edible X to Commercial X, or even deleting some or all as WP:NONDEFINING. As mentioned above, nearly all fish are edible (from guppies to sharks), yet not all have commercial operations (e.g. devoted industries and/or specialized fishing techniques). A species of fish may be eaten occasionally or ceremonially by some people, but not farmed or hunted on larger scales. Many marine and freshwater fish are commercially caught around the world (often for human consumption) rendering the categories (if fully populated) enormous, practically useless and largely redundant to Category:Fish taxa. --Animalparty! (talk) 21:23, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Support  No way can we judge whether over centuries different species have been commercially exploited. Rathfelder (talk) 12:24, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Reverse-merge in light of Animalparty's !vote. Commerical is a lot more vague than edible, although personally I do not have a strong opinon on either, and both categories could do with a healthy purge. Another option is to rename into something such as Category:Aquatic species that are commercially fished or Category:Aquatic species that are commercially caught for "X", if there is a consensus for a name change. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 22:46, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * There are some arguments against your proposed categories. Many marine species that are used by humans are neither fished nor caught but farmed, e.g. salmon, algae, oysters. --AlienFood (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose commercially fished sealife is not only about human edible sealife. There's other things that are fished and turned into fertilizer and animal feed and jewelry and other products -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 04:52, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Presumably you support reverse merge then? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make sense either. There are many human edible sealife that is not fished commercially, even if they are traditionally eaten. They may be not commercially viable due to population size, habitat, being an endangered species and thus illegal, etc. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 16:34, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * (as nom) I am neutral on the merge direction. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Reverse merge doesn't make sense as fish and mollusc species might be edible but are not used commercially, e.g. endangered species. --AlienFood (talk) 07:28, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose most fish/molluscs/crustaceans/echinoderms are edible (i.e., humans can gain calories from eating them without being poisoned). Some of those that are poisonous can be detoxified with appropriate preparation (is fugu an edible fish? People do eat it without dying.) Most species in these groups aren't regularly eaten by humans for a variety of reasons. They may taste bad, be small in size, occur in small numbers, occur in places that aren't easily accessed by humans (e.g. the deep sea), etc. Commercially fished species are the ones that humans eat regularly. Edibility is too broad a criterion to be WP:DEFINING. There is some gray area with "commercial"; commercial could cover a spectrum of species sold in global markets for millions of dollars annually to species that a subsistence fisherman might occasionally sell to their neighbors. However, I think "commercial" is more manageable as a defining characteristic than "edible". I would be inclined to delete the "edible" categories, but included articles shouldn't be simply recategorized as "commercial" without confirming that the recategorization is appropriate. Also, note this previous deletion discussion:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 December 10. Plantdrew (talk) 02:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting taxa named by calvin r. bernard
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT and WP:NOTDEFINING to the taxa: the author is redlinked and category is only populated by a few articles. The author does not appear to have described any other species. Limited potential for growth. We have unanimously addressed these several times previously (here here and here, others) (and the creator of this cat is certainly aware of those discussions, but continues disruptively to create these).  For more info about this and related categories created by this user, see discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life/Archive 49.  UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:31, 6 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete all these - it is difficult to argue that the 'author' of a creature is a defining characteristic of the creature (unlike, say, the author of a book, without whom the book would not exist). The discussion linked below (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tree of Life/Archive 49) suggests a minimal condition is that (a) the author should have an article and (b) there should be at least 5 named creatures (5 is usually thought enough at cfd). These satisfy neither (a) nor (b) (assuming the category creator has done due diligence in finding Nigel Collar). There are thousands of categories in Category:Taxa by author that should be purged: I count 43 in the first column under 5 members, and we've only reached Alcala (and not counted red-linked authors). Oculi (talk) 10:08, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Moreover Simpsonichthys espinhacensis has been placed in 3 'author' categories and Camiguin hawk-owl is in 9, none supported by the text (so how is the reader to check the categories?). This is ridiculous. Oculi (talk) 10:41, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * FWIW, the infobox of Simpsonichthys espinhacensis does show the (redlinked) authors; I assume this is what the editor uses to create the "named by" categories. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:54, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It doesn't show 'Dalton Tavares Bressane Nielsen' in full - one has to leave Wikipedia to find this. Oculi (talk) 23:37, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I have the setting enabled that shows the full name when I hover over the redlink (which works since the link is piped). UnitedStatesian (talk) 21:09, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete all nominated - it looks like the creation of these (spot checks) predates the relevant discussion, so no blame attaches, but I think current opinion considers these as under-populated and -populatable. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:24, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 05:48, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting kinloch law enforcement
 * Nominator's rationale: Category contains a single article, Kinloch, Missouri, of which only a paragraph is about law enforcement. The Kinloch Police Department did seem to be the subject of a few notable controversies before it was dissolved in 2018, but I don't see how it could possibly need its own category.

 * Delete per WP:SMALLCAT UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:16, 6 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete as a pointless category, since the one article is not about the Police department but the whole city. deven if we did have an article about the department (now dissolved), there would be little scope for expansion.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:48, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
