Nominator's rationale: WP:OCASSOC ("This Category is created for to link people places and songs associated with ...") and is clearly non-defining e.g. for Terry Wogan or RTE.  Note: The eponymous article may need to be upmerged. DexDor (talk) 20:16, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 19:52, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: First off, this category was deleted before and I do not believe the reasons for deletion have changed. Therefore, I think this could rightly be deleted as re-creation of previously deleted content, but I decided to err on the side of caution and nominate this regularly because this was re-created back in 2012 and has apparently been overlooked since then. I don't think the original reasons for deletion has changed since its first nomination - this category violates WP:USERCAT in that it can not reasonably be expected to foster collaboration. There is already Category:WikiProject Skepticism members for users who wish to actually collaborate. Grouping users in a category who self-describe as skeptics serves no encyclopedic purpose as it is unrealistic to suggest that such users could be expected to share the same interests on a subject to collaborate on solely by being skeptics. VegaDark (talk) 19:49, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to being in this category I'm also a member of a fairly lively Facebook group with 50+ members that has exactly this unrealistic. It's been going for over 5 years now. 1Veertje (talk) 19:59, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 19:51, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There is absolutely no point in this page as it always contained User:Sander.v.Ginkel/drafts waiting for approval which dates all the way back to late-2016 and there is no such thing as "Bunch AfC submissions" so this is a useless maintenance category.

Nominator's rationale: Only one article, which is quite satisfactorily in Category:Organization of the Communist Party of China. It doesnt seem likely that we we will get a lot more articles in the category. Rathfelder (talk) 14:56, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: administrative close: as noted category was deleted per WP:G5. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:45, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, wife is not a defining characteristic, articles should not be directly in this category. The subCategory:First Ladies of the United States should be moved to Category:Wives which may be kept as a container category. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:03, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Far-right politics in Brazil

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: speedy keep. In fact, since the only non-sock delete vote is an obvious templated comment not clearly meant for this discussion and only linking to the general informational page on policies, I'm closing this per WP:SNOW and WP:EVASION. If anyone who is not banned has a good reason to suggest deletion of this category, please start a new discussion. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:07, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category will most likely only ever contain one person. As per WP:SMALLCAT and WP:OVERCAT), there is no need to keep it. Besides, its a contentious category being described as controversial and disputed in the talk page of Jair Bolsonaro (WP:OPINIONCAT). WooliesOS (talk) 06:35, 24 November 2018 (UTC) (sockpuppet comment struck Ivanvector (Talk/Edits))[reply]
Several of the comments were also placed here by sockpuppets using spoofed signatures. I have removed them. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 16:05, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
