Delete and, if desired, make into a list where at least each entry can have citations. I don't think it can exist as a category because category entries cannot be directly cited. Herostratus 02:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete POV. This is one of those things that probably seemed like a better idea than it actually is. I'm no fan of the Bush administration by any stretch of the imagination, but the category system is not the place for this kind of discussion. Bearcat 09:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The category serves no purpose and should be deleted. Instead the main article should be categorized. Delete. -- Domino theory 09:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. How is a article categorized? --JeffW 05:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Neither Greek, Hungarian, Romanian, Hrvatiand or other Wikipedias have such category and if they don't it is unlikely to be populated here. Pavel Vozenilek 23:45, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't see how it matters that other wikipedias have/don't have it. Other wikis don't have even a single article on the matter! If you look at the article for Alcibiade Diamandi, you'll notice that there still are things to be added to the category as time goes by (hopefully). The point that it is small is absurd: sure, it will always be smaller, but that does not prevent other cats from existing. Is there a fix number of things you must fit into a cat, one I wasn't informed of? I also don't appreciate that the cat has been emptied before notive was given of intended deletion. Dahn 12:56, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When the content will grow the category could be always re-added. Having category for just one article is ..., hmm,... not good. Pavel Vozenilek 22:16, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even look through it? It has five articles at the moment, and should have six - except the article Metsovo has an error in it, which does not allow it to be included in a category. I also think this cat is essential, as it is an autonomous topic (and I fail to see why it should be connected with Romanian history). Dahn 22:57, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This category is nothing but a place holder for a single article. Apart from a category all of its own that article may also be found through no less than nine other categories(!), and I do not see the point for these excesses. I think we'd all like to see the topic developed much more, but take a look at Category:Independent State of Croatia for some relevant scope regarding categorization (except for the inappropriately added biography). -- Domino theory 22:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, really? Then why don't you take a look at Category:Vichy regime? (People listed there only partly coincide with Category:French fascists etc., and they are figures of relevance in the context.) I think that having biographies included is a very important part of a category: you get to see at once the connections between a Vlach adventurer, a Romanian professor, and a Hungarian prince - which is why this topic is on its own. Plus, this one doesn't lead to Greece or Romania (contrary to the vague Category:Romanian World War II people or Category:Greek World War II people (the second one is as accurate as calling Staf de Clerq a "Belgian" World War II person - sure they need be included there as well, but the main connection is with Vlach/Flemish history, and the best way to establish it is by placing them in context). I also think that having a category to begin with may prevent people from creating 40,000 cats for the same topic; as it is, the article and the category (which is quite frequent) fit in several categories together (if you feel like it, exclude the article and link it only to its eponymous cat). I really don't see why it should be revolting that a topic fits in many categories... Is it because people can find it easier? Is it because they have more understanding of the subject from the start? Dahn 19:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Such over-categoratisation is unnessarcary and best left a filmography of a respective actors page.

Agree, especially as name too vague. Merge with a renamed Category:Transformers → Category:Transformers (fiction) or Category:Transformers (fictional universe) category? (Category:Transformers also seems too vague.) David Kernow 18:04, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's not a bad category. They were a band of Transformers who formed and had a name, a leader, a mission. It links them in a way they wouldn't link if you didn't have the page. User:mathewignash.

In that case, suggest at least a rename to something like Category:Primitives (Transformers universe). David Kernow 11:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rename to ~~Category:Primitives (Transformers)~~ Category:Transformers Primitives. The name "Primitives" is a canonical Transformers term but Wikipedia is a general-purpose encyclopedia and not exclusive for Transformers, so it needs a more descriptive name. JIP | Talk 18:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- If you're going to actually keep (I still can't fathom why as it was only in a single episode) the category, a better name would be Category:Transformers Primitives. Otherwise is pretty ugly and not in style. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!)} 02:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A user has gone insane, creating numberous useless categories. Category:Sixchangers, Category:Fourchangers, Category:Tenchangers, and Category:Triplechangers should all be merged under the name of Category:Multichangers because they all deal with the same gimmick of more than two forms. ' ^{(Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!)} 03:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could see them merged, but not deleted. user:mathewignash
Delete all of them. How many forms a Transformer has is a mere technicality and does not have much impact on the character. Only the terms "Triple Changer" and "Six Changer" are canon, and even of those, "Triple Changer" was only officially used on six characters and "Six Changer" on two.

Keep but rename It seems the intention was a category of Sports and Recreation in a place called Sabah. Seems that it would be legitimate if it were called Sports and recreation in Sabah. --JeffW 05:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- For sports, there's already a cat for it at Category:Sport in Malaysia. For recreation, there's already Category:National parks of Malaysia. From there, we could branch it further into national parks of Sabah or anything that has precedence. Merging the two while there are already other well-established related categories is imprudent. __earth ^(Talk) 12:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - But it's ok to have two different ways to categorize the same thing. In the US there is a Category:National parks in California that is a subcategory of both Category:Parks in California and Category:United States National Parks by state. Sabah is a Malaysian state, so I don't see why a Category:Recreation in Sabah category couldn't be a subcategory of both a Sabah recreation category and a Malaysia recreation category. --JeffW 05:40, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
