For the subcategories of Category:Airports. More logical. Neutrality^talk 05:00, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I could see doing this if we had a mix of each, for consistency. But they're all the same, and I don't think we'll gain anything by making the change. --Kbdank71 14:02, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete --Kbdank71 13:38, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I see the point in Category:Dog training and behavior, but everyone knows that cats train their humans, not the other way around. :-) Seriously, I don't know what could go in this category and doubt it will fill over time. --Conti|✉ 22:51, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Reuse for "Cat[egory] training and behavior". Categories show some interesting behavior, and it takes some training to make them behave.
Seriously, though: The cat[egory] has obviously been named to match Category:Dog training and behavior. Cats do show a lot of behavior, and you can e.g. toilet train them. Therefore:
Keep. — Sebastian (talk) 20:47, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
Delete. There exists some precedent for training cats, but that's only enough to justify one article, not to fill a whole category. Radiant_>|< 08:23, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Good point. We should distinguish two questions:
  - Is a category needed at all? There are some articles on behavior (Purr, Cat body language – I'd categorize them if we weren't just discussing the deletion). Changing my vote to abstain since I'm reluctant to fight for categories that fit only 2 articles.
  - Should it be renamed? If we keep the category then I'd like to keep the name for consistency; it doesn't hurt to include something that exists only potentially. — Sebastian (talk) 18:41, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)

For the same reasons as peer categories previously nominated on June 5. -- Beland 20:36, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. For the record, though, the other cats nominated on June 5 didn't make consensus. I'm agreeing with this one because it's empty. --Kbdank71 14:01, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep --Kbdank71 13:41, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. There's only one airport in Lebanon, and only one article about airport-related articles in lebanon, so no need for a category.500LL 19:21, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
Keep to preserve the standard setup. Neutrality^talk 05:00, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
Keep per Neutrality's comment. -- Rick Block (talk) 13:06, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
Keep - there are more airports coming, and if we don't categorize them now, then doing later will be much harder. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 19:24, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
Keep for above reasons. Broad categorization schemes will inevitably have underpopulated members, the exclusion of which hinders the functionality of the overall scheme. Postdlf 08:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Unencyclopedic, POV, absence of context. zen master T 07:55, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete - inherently arbitrary. - SimonP 00:46, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, vague. Neutrality^talk 04:59, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
Comment. Its French for "Famous Causes", I'm guessing they want the people/celebs cat'd if they have participated in noteworthy causes. Not really sure how this would work, unless each "cause" was a sub cat. <>Who ?¿? 18:06, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete, vague Gorrister 11:23, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I don't like this one either. Postdlf 08:01, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete, has no purpose --U.U. 18:28, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep. It isn't vague; it's a well known French term in common English usage which means "Famous case" (not "Famous cause"). A cause célèbre is defined in its own article. It's not arbitrary: for something to be a cause célèbre, it must be a long-running case in which the public is involved on one side or the other, preferably both, and which is an exemplar of a particular phenomenon of human society. That is what distinguishes it from merely a well-known law case. David | Talk 23:45, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. The contents have been moved to Category:Symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to match the naming scheme that has been agreed on in Category:Compositions by composer. — Pladask 09:31, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. — Sebastian (talk) 20:51, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
Delete. This vote is perhaps redundant when content had moved to generally agreed cat. Pavel Vozenilek
- I agree, but it didn't match the speedy deletion criteria. Perhaps opening for this kind of speedy deletion should be considered. — Pladask 18:21, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
  - I'd vote for that! Sebastian (talk) 18:45, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
