Contested deletion edit

This category should not be speedy deleted as being unpopulated, because… it has not been empty for more than seven days, id est that the criteria for "CSD C1" are NOT met. One should leave an editor time to fill categories, I cannot do that in five minutes… --Johannes (Talk) (Contribs) (Articles) 15:47, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

The category has existed for less than 24 hours. This is the sort of infantile nomination that drives contributors away from wikipedia at a time when we should be trying to attract more committed contributors. If not now, then when?

Single cylinder engines are an important category for cars, motorbikes, lawn-mowers and for a number of things more "niche". If the category did not exist it would badly need creation. The only reservation would arise if the category did exist already, but with a slightly different name. But presumably comrade nominator would have told us already if that were the case. Be well.
