An attempt to link together articles about motor neuron disease by an archaic acronym. Improperly named and unlikely to cover more than a tiny amount of articles. JFW | T@lk 23:11, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. JFW | T@lk 23:11, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Category:Motor Neuron Disease is hardly overpopulated, and this category only has three articles (one of which, Lou Gehrig, doesn't even really belong). siafu 14:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Horse races don't have a nation. "By country" is more conventional for sport categories. Calsicol 13:48, 25 December 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Comments

It's rather odd for this page to replace Wikipedians/Pakistan(i)s or be the main page for Wikipedians familiar with Pakistan. I don't live in Pakistan, but I am a Pakistani...

The second category should either be deleted or renamed to Category:Non-Pakistani Wikipedians in Pakistan. Since I doubt that the latter would get much use (and, when used, would likely be subject to change), delete it and keep Category:Pakistani Wikipedians. -Sean Curtin 04:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Both. Nonencyclopedic, vanity categories. 12.73.196.52 01:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I think Pakistani wikipedians is much better . Since there are a lot of Pakistanis out there who arnt in Pakistan , they are Pakistani Wpedians & Wpedians in xxxxcountry . We have similar categories for India & Israel too . Farhansher 21:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
delete Category:Wikipedians_in_Pakistan (should i merge them?) --Wisesabre 03:01, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep both. Categories by location and by ethnic background should not be mixed up. — Insta ntnood 18:09, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No reason to put these two attributes together, that I can see. Delete. SCZenz 06:34, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This must be joke, not an serious category. Pavel Vozenilek 08:31, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not useful. Calsicol 13:48, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Little to no value. Cacophony 21:07, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Though this category has as much value as Category:Roman Catholic actors it does not, however, seem to be merited by having just one article. siafu 14:48, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
DeleteShe´s really an agnostic, as the imdb shows. So, I think the ideal should be include more agnostic actors in that category, because there are many. Some of the actors in the Roman Catholic actors category aren´t also catholic anymore.

Lost a CFD debate a year ago (Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Unfair games) and closing admin User:RedWolf, when asked why it's still with us, proposes admin error. —Blotwell 05:37, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: TBS is a cable channel that happens to have a broadcast outlet. However, there is only one, and so this category is practically useless. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:06, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unnecessary. tregoweth 04:47, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Entirely subjective, hard-to-define category. Lumps together such figures as James Dean, Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein, and Aivar Voitka without much in the way of case-by-case explanation. Andrew Levine 00:23, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for reasons given by Andrew Levine Golfcam 03:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for above reasons. tregoweth 04:47, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If I remember similar categories - icon of this or icon of that - got deleted in the past. Pavel Vozenilek 08:31, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for vagueness and per precendent. -Sean Curtin 04:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Keep (no consensus to delete) K1Bond007 06:16, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is 1 article in this category and not much potential for growth (I Know that could be interpenetrated as POV but the album has not been released yet by a one year delay, so her musical career is yet to enter its infancy)--Alan Frize 22:26, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As mentioned, that one album has not even been released. In any event, a category is pretty well useless if it only contains one entry. Soltak | Talk 22:50, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. First, you sholdn't blank / orphan a category when listing it on CfD (and I've fixed the CfD template). Also single album categories are standard - from Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums#Categories: Previous discussions have formed the consensus that a category for an artist's albums should be created even if they have only released one album (irrespective of whether they are likely to release more in the future). --Vclaw 02:04, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep to maintain category structure integrity. -Sean Curtin 04:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. Non-existent membership. Creating it again in a couple years is not a problem, if needed. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 04:18, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, to conform to the WikiProject Albums guidelines. Teklund 17:33, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, there are thousands of albums in "Category:Albums by artist". Some of them are one-hit wonders. Hilton's albums is not even a hit, but it would be better to hunt for such categories that have NO entries first, which I expect has not been done. This Hilton album is also not exceptional: there are lots of other TV/movie stars that put out an album or two, to the chagrin of some. -- 71.198.189.137 21:50, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, at least until there are actual albums to include. tregoweth 23:08, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article has nowhere else to live, unless you count the odd Category:Upcoming albums. There are many categories with just one entry, and this one's fine too (the category, not the album).--Mike Selinker 08:33, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- What's odd about Category:Upcoming albums? That's exactly what the album in question is, and that's exactly where it belongs. Soltak | Talk 18:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh, that category's fine, it's just not where I would look for an album by Paris Hilton. I think it's reasonable to put Chinese Democracy (album) under Category:Guns N' Roses albums as well as Category:Upcoming albums; therefore, I think the Paris Hilton category is reasonable.--Mike Selinker 02:57, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, for consistency - there is no difference between this and any other single-album artist's category. Category:Upcoming albums is an additional, not replacement, category. sjorford (talk) 10:48, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
