 * Propose deleting structures with tuned mass dampers
 * Nominator's rationale: Non-defining; already listed in tuned mass damper. fgnievinski (talk) 23:57, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Neutral – I was Twinkle-notified of this proposed deletion because I am technically the creator of this category, but really I just moved an existing category to a more appropriate name. For all practical purposes created this category, so I am pinging him or her here. —jameslucas  ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄  02:12, 8 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * keep, the category is more precise than the article. It could be expanded adding more structures. Triplecaña (talk) 16:06, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That does not make much sense. The article should be the most precise. If there are more structures they can simply be added to the article. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:19, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT, this category has only one entry and is unlikely to significantly grow. Entry is already in appropriate subcategories. User:Namiba 23:21, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:23, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting comeback victories in association football
 * Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization by non-defining characteristic. We do not have any other categories that group games or matches in any sport by victory status, and "comeback" victories are neither rare nor unprecedented enough to require special treatment. Bearcat (talk) 17:07, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 05:05, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I would probably have voted differently if there were articles Comeback victory of player X but those do not exist. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:31, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:NOTDEFINING, as the term doesn't have a clear usage for an in/out characteristic. There's a 6-1 victory in there, which is certainly not a notable comeback. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOTDEFINING — comeback from what? A series of games? A series of seasons? (Also orphaned, no good categories.)

Category:Rural localities in Alagirsky District

 * 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. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:23, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Rural localities in Alagirsky District to Category:Rural localities in North Ossetia–Alania
 * Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT of unclear necessity. We do not have a comprehensive scheme of automatically subcategorizing all rural localities in Russia by individual local district, so this isn't part of a comprehensive subcategorization scheme -- and with just ten pages in the target category, it doesn't qualify for the "diffusion of a too-large parent category" pass either. And while a scan of the proposed redirect target reveals a couple of other articles that could theoretically be moved here, that still wouldn't get this up to five entries. So the place should just be in the North Ossetia–Alania parent category rather than needing its own dedicated special category. Bearcat (talk) 17:03, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:1986 establishments in the Golan Heights to Category:1986 establishments in Israel
 * Propose deleting Category:1986 in the Golan Heights
 * Propose deleting Category:1980s establishments in the Golan Heights
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in the Golan Heights by year
 * Propose deleting Category:Establishments in the Golan Heights
 * Nominator's rationale: This set of categories currently exists for only one page about a school. However serious the political sensitivity, this is not useful for navigation. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:36, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

William Allen Simpson (talk) 05:19, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Alternatively, the hierarchy could be populated with 30 Israeli settlements, 3 wineries etc. Perhaps this was the intention of the categories' creator before he was banned from further work on categories. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:50, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge/delete, there is no prospect of decently populated year categories for a small area like this. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:36, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete them all. Golan Heights is occupied territory in Syria. We don't seem to have any establishments category for occupied Syria. ( is banned from categories?)

 * Listify a cut-off can be chosen, just as other list articles choose what is meant by nearby, etc -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 03:40, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * There is already such a list at Proper_motion. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> ( d c̄ ) 05:17, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * That is only a list of the highest ones. It wouldn't do to have a large table list in the proper motion article. Instead having a separate list article would serve that function. (a simple cut-off could be highest 100; and additionally other sublists of high velocity stars, such as by star type (ie. main sequence, neutron stars, white dwarfs, etc); while the proper motion article would only have a small list of the top 10 fastest ones). -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 05:29, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: SIMBAD has a "High Proper Motion Star" (PM*) object type. I assume that's what's used to define this category. SevenSpheres (talk) 17:19, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 * There seems to be about 41000 listed in SIMBAD; however there are only about 1000 high-velocity stars (HV*) listed -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 05:37, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Listify then delete

DELETE the Star Wars: Droids category tree
 * star wars
 * star wars
 * star wars
 * Nominator's rationale: DELETE these 3 categories, as the creation of a blocked user, and non-defining for any of the characters in the character category; the episode category only contains 1 redirect; and there are insufficient number of articles to even support 1 category, where this is defining, and not a redirect. -- 64.229.90.199 (talk) 06:11, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure)  Qwerfjkl  talk  14:41, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting special temporary authorization stations
 * Nominator's rationale: Not a defining characteristic. Stations go in and out of STA all the time for technical and legal reasons. The two redirects were temporary FM boosters, now replaced with translators, and for the article (WMEN), it isn't really defining. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 02:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
