Category talk:Indian comics writers

Suggestion to speedy

I contest the whim to delete this page that may presently be unpopulated (and certainly when gutting it before putting up a speedy tag-?) because it is the belief of the speedy nominator that a billion people nation does not now or in the future produce a WParticle-notable comics writer? I don't know what happened to the article(s) that caused this category to be created to begin with, but find it inconceivable that it will stay unpopulated for long, and an effort to delete it is puzzlingly futile.

• I believe this category meets the Wikipedia:criteria for speedy deletion. According to this report, the category was empty on October 19th. According to the page history, it was also empty when I blanked it on October 31st. It is also empty as I compose this message.
• My decision was not based on a whim, for I have been systematically blanking and tagging these categories for months.
• Blanking the category page is part of the usual procedure for getting rid of empty categories.
• The nominator has great respect for the people and culture of India.
• If you want this category kept, please find an article that belongs here and add Category:Indian comics writers.
• If you know of Indian comics writers who don't yet have articles, please start one and include Category:Indian comics writers.
• If such articles don't exist, but you expect they will be written in the future, please allow the deletion to proceed. Recreating an empty category is not difficult.

I am sorry if I seemed to infer that you do not respect Indian culture. As you see this category, with a little attention, has begun to be populated again. As an element within the Category:Comics writers by nationality, it currently serves a function and will in all likelihood continue to do so even more.
