Category talk:Fictional Iraqi people

Hangon

I realize I don't need a "hangon" tag to hold off the deletion of this category (because I didn't create it), but I would like to hold off on deletion until I get a chance to see the previous CfD discussion, which isn't linked from the page. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

• I found the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 September 23#Category:Fictional characters by origin. Although that discussion closed with a "delete all" decision, it looks like 27 of the categories ordered to deletion have since been re-created. Thus, in practice, it appears that consensus may have changed. If we still have Category:Fictional Jamaicans and Category:Fictional Koreans, both of which were deleted in that CfD, as well as some other similar categories also deleted in that CfD, I don't see why we can't also have Category:Fictional Iraqis. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:45, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. If we are deleting this one we should delete the others too. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 12:54, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Also I had left a note at WölffReik's talk page. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 12:55, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Ineligible for speedy. While Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 September 23#Category:Fictional characters by origin did agree to delete all, this was reversed by Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_September_3#Revisit_-_Category:Fictional_characters_by_origin which decided to keep all. As such these categories are not out-of-process re-creations and are not eligible under G4. If there are any concerns over this categorisation scheme, then they should be raised in a full Cfd nomination.

Thanks for clearing that up, Xdamr! Megata Sanshiro (talk) 18:14, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
