Seems like unnecessary duplication. We already have a full set of Cities in Canada and Category:Cities in the United States. - SimonP 23:51, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Empty category. The category itself practically admits that it's a joke, as there's no such thing today as a "Native Latin speaker". TexasAndroid 19:04, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Duplicates Category:Dreamcast games. I've already moved the only two entries over to the much more populated category. TexasAndroid 18:42, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A category for articles about individuals that someone has decided have reached a certain standard. Artbitary, non-standard, and will never be complete. Superfluous and confusing as a subcategory of category:People. Delete CalJW 13:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is "Ethnism" even a word of English?? (Google turns up only 333 hits, and a number are from this Wikipedia category and its mirrors.) The category only has three members and so does not seem to have been found useful. Rename it to a word or phrase actually moderately commonly used in the English language, or merge it with another appropriate category? (I'm having difficulty finding anything it could be merged with, other than "Ethnic Slurs", though...) Ideas? AnonMoos

Subjective and contentious who is included.

The whole category of "Secular Jewish philosophers" seems foolish. At least half of those listed were only Jewish in some kind of racialist fantasy (whether anti-semitic or Zionist, I'm not certain, probably more of the first), not as anything really pertaining to their life or thought. I tried to temper the list criteria, but frankly I'd rather just get the category deleted. FWIW, this thought is spurred by Wittgenstein, who like many of the names sort of neither belongs on nor off the list.
  • Delete. Two reasons. First, I'm not sure what the taxonomic merits of having categories like this are. Second, it can, like all schemes to pigeon hole people by religious faith, be very difficult to use (and verify, per WP:V). This is made even more difficult in this case by the complex nature of what it means to be Jewish. See this thread, for example.—Encephalon | ζ  05:08:02, 2005-08-31 (UTC)
  • Delete per Encephalon's excellent summary. Nandesuka 15:26, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this hopelessly fuzzy category. Who is a Jew is problematic enough. Add to that who is secular and the category could include potentially everyone or no one. In some cases it's difficult enough to decide who is a philosopher. --D Monack 20:14, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Since the category no longer exists, I guess it's ok to add I am not ok with deletion here. I am the perfect embodiment of the secular jewish philosopher, and what's more, perfectly unknown too, as this page proved until I write this: http://poetpiet.tripod.com

Split into Category:Fictional emperors and Category:Fictional empresses, parent each to Category:Fictional monarchs and Category:Emperors/Category:Empresses as appropriate, and delete this. The categories for fictional kings and fictional queens are already distinct. -Sean Curtin 03:03, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
