"Miscellaneous" is ambiguous. There is currently only 1 article. — Instantnood 07:26, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep It's obviously intended to be ambiguous, and to serve as a waypoint in the creation of new subcategories as necessary. It serves a useful purpose when you are in Category:Engineers and this fits under "subcategories" along with other specific branches, which are not all-inclusive. It also gives people unsure of the subclassification a logical place to put them; somebody will probably eventually put it in a sharper category, if it is noticed in this subcategory.

- Delete I don't see any logical difference between putting an article in this category vs the parent category:engineers category. Also violates BOTH of the guidelines at WP:CG#When to use categories (although it is amusing to imagine an article which should obviously be in this category - perhaps it would start J. Doe was a miscellaneous engineer from a miscellaneous country who lived in a miscellaneous era of history ...). -- Rick Block 16:36, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. No need for a "miscellaneous" category - just put those entries into the parent. --Azkar 20:24, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. I think Miscellaneous should be a banned word in category names. I can't think of any case where just leaving it out wouldn't be better. --ssd 13:26, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
