Contested deletion edit

This page should not be speedily deleted because original deletion discussion was six years ago. This category was recreated 2 years ago, and consensus can change. If someone wants to delete this category, the proper way is to list it on Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. --В и к и T 14:59, 19 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

If you look at the recent discussions at LGBT austronauts, LGBT linguists and LGBT psychologists, consensus hasn't changed regarding these type of categories. Nymf talk to me 09:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I see now that there is some sort of campaign to delete these categories. Did you bother to notify relevant wikiprojects? --В и к и T 12:28, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
Not sure why I would have to do that. Their opinion on categorization does not matter more than anyone else's. Nymf talk to me 14:03, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion edit

This page should not be speedily deleted because it does not meet the criteria for G4 CSD. The original deletion discussion] that occurred more than 5 1/2 years ago was for the category Gay Physicians, as evidenced by the nominators statement:

"Subcat created from Category:LGBT physicians. Parent cat should be kept, this one deleted. SatyrTN (talk - contribs) 12:00 am, 29 May 2007, Tuesday (5 years, 7 months, 26 days ago) (UTC−4)"

Nope. LGBT physicians is the category that was discussed and subsequently deleted, Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_May_29#Category:LGBT_physicians. Nymf talk to me 15:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
I guess I'm confused because the nomination specifically excluded Category:LGBT physicians and there were several !votes that stated that that category should be keep. As there was no clear consensus, and it seems that the closing admin did a poor job of assessing consensus, I stand by my original contestation. Clearly, this should go through the normal CfD process, if at all. - MrX 16:00, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Reply
