(I added a CfD notice to the category on December 10, and thought I had posted it here, but oh those wacky browsers...) Categorizing television stations by one program that they air seems overly specific. If there is a need to keep this info, a simple list would seem adequate. tregoweth 22:45, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Gamaliel 04:49, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Agreed, it is overly specific. Better to have mention in the BBC World News article about the % of PBS stations carrying it in the United States. User:Ceyockey 16:33, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. per above reasons Gwimpey 07:21, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I was the creator of the category in question and agree with the proposal for deletion. I created it to replace the ever increasing list of PBS stations airing news from BBC World. That list can be found at the article's talk page. I believe adding a note in the article regarding the number (or percentage) of PBS stations airing the news output to be the best option and will do so.

This seems to be an error for the already existing Category:Margraves of Baden, and in that case could be deleted. Staffelde 20:01, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It seems that the error is mine, and that Margrave of Baden-Baden is a real title, so the category is required. Sorry - my mistake.Staffelde 11:56, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Originally nominated by Mairi as a speedy. It is a completely standard speedy, but following objection was raised, most likely in the mistaken belief that manual amendments would be required to each article in the category: - LEAVE - seems overkill to rename the entire category in these circumstances--Sjharte 12:25, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization, and conform with the rest of the subcats of Category:Railway stations in Japan

Two comments. First, I don't know when siafu checked the category, but around the end of November, I took Category:Kanto Region Rail Stations off of all of the articles in that category, and sorted them into their respective prefectures. The only area with subcat articles in the parent cat are major stations in Category:Railway stations in Japan, and I would be content if they were all removed from the parent cat (the category used to be much bigger before I did that to most of the stations; but at the time, I didn't know if the largest stations like Shinjuku Station merited a top-level mention or not).

Secondly, renaming to Railway stations in Kanto would be very confusing, as Kanto is not a prefecture like most of the other subcats of Category:Railway stations in Japan. There have been other discussions on geographically sorting Japan's prefectures, and I seem to recall that since some of the regions are not strictly defined (ie, one prefecture could be in multiple regions, depending on who you ask), there has never been a concerted effort to push all of the prefectures down into region categories. So, I would support Bobet's suggestion of deleting the category, rather than the suggested renaming. I didn't suggest that originally, because I was afraid of stepping on someone's toes; but, in retrospect, that seems like the wiser choice.

So, changing my vote to Delete per Bobet. Neier 14:17, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category is for things mentioned in a baseball book mentioned in 2003. It is a bad precedent as there are an awful lot of books published.

Category is meant for football (soccer) players who have played for Sporting Clube de Portugal, but "Sporting players" is rather ambiguous - it should be more specific, in this case. Qwghlm 10:05, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category emptied and deleted - Izehar 14:55, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Category proposed for deletion on the basis that it is small without potential for growth — see item 2 under Categories for deletion (How to use this page).

The Staged events category is only associated with five articles, at least one of which is doubtful; see Reichstag fire. Many historians contest the assertion that the fire was "staged" by the Nazi Party, though it is virtually indisputable that party's propaganda used the fire to their political advantage.

With this low usage, is this category useful? — JonRoma 06:42, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A disambiguation is a disambiguation. No special categories are needed or useful. Tedernst | talk 04:48, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question - did you empty this category before bringing it here? User:Ceyockey 05:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I redirected the cooresponding dab template to the general dab template, which emptied this category, yes. I didn't realize at the time that the proper procedure was to list the category for deletion. I was annoyed that the empty category was still showing up on the Category:Disambiguation page so I edited the empty category to effectively orphan it. I didn't know that was a no-no, either. Someone suggested I needed to then list the category here, which I've done. Sorry for the confusion. Learning as I go here. Tedernst | talk 21:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete but not because of the completely incorrect statement you made in nominating it, Tedernst; rather because it's not a useful category in itself in my opinion. User:Ceyockey 05:54, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
