Category talk:Bases of the United States Air Force in Iraq


These are the empty talk pages of category redirects. The target categories do not have talk pages that these talk pages could redirect to. Someone tried to nominate them for speedy deletion, but there doesn't seem to be an appropriate category. —teb728 t c 09:06, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Do not delete unless and until Category talk:Bases of the United States Air Force in Iraq and Category talk:Military bases of the United States in Iraq turn red, and when they do, delete under WP:CSD#G8. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:24, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Umm, assuming you mean the associated Category pages Category:Bases of the United States Air Force in Iraq and Category:Military bases of the United States in Iraq rather than the Talk pages you actually mentioned, I partly agree: The Category pages have been nominated for speedy deletion under WP:CSD; if the Category pages are deleted, then the Talk pages can and should be deleted under G8. But since the Category pages are tagged category redirect, they may not eligible under C1. If the Category pages are not deleted, the empty talk pages still should be deleted. —teb728 t c 04:31, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * "If the Category pages are not deleted, the empty talk pages still should be deleted." I disagree.  I do not see any reason why the normal use of talk pages should be denied in these cases.  In these cases, the talks have or had an explanation for the redirect.  They should continue to have the explanation.  It serves no purpose to clear away brief talk pages.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:28, 12 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as no discussion has every occurred, just templates. We don't need to save talk page histories for templates. D O N D E groovily   Talk to me  04:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
