This is a (work in progress) to be a comprehensive list of all individual user categories that have been nominated for discussion at CFD, UCFD, and DRV. If the result was to merge, delete, or rename, such categories have a community consensus determining that they should not exist, and therefore should not be recreated without first going through a deletion review resulting in overturning deletion. It also lists categories that should exist only as parent categories, with no individual users supposed to be populating them. Discussions closed with the result of "relisting" are excluded from this list, but their relisted counterpart is included.
The purpose of this list is to make it easy to spot exact recreations of deleted content, as well as making it easier to search for other substantially similar categories that would meet the G4 speedy deletion requirement.

Notes
- ^ a b The speedy deletion process does not create binding precedent in most cases. For instance, a category that becomes empty during the nomination and is speedy deleted as empty would not set deletion precedent. Likewise, a nomination being closed due to an author requesting deletion during the discussion would not create deletion precedent. A grey area exists here for nominated categories where a clear consensus has formed to delete, but an author comes in and preemptively requests deletion. Categories under such circumstances, as determined to the best of our ability, will be marked as having mixed/ambiguous precedent (technically WP:CSD#G4 would not apply, but a speedy deletion would likely be upheld at deletion review). In some cases, a speedy deletion does constitute good precedent, such as a speedy deletion due to vandalism or nonsense - presumably a re-creation of such a user category would still meet the original reasons for deletion. Categories speedy deleted under such circumstances will be marked as having precedent still in effect. Cite error: The named reference "Speedy" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).
- ^ a b c d While the exact category in question had not been previously deleted, the closing admin determined that a past discussion regarding similar categories served as speedy deletion precedent.
- i. ^ a Categories include Category:Asexual Wikipedians, Category:Pansexual Wikipedians, Category:Polyamorous Wikipedians, Category:Bisexual Wikipedians, Category:Homoflexible Wikipedians, Category:Heteroflexible Wikipedians, Category:Femme Wikipedians, Category:Lipstick lesbian Wikipedians, Category:Gay Wikipedians, Category:Bear cub Wikipedians, Category:Lesbian Wikipedians, Category:Queer Wikipedians, Category:Genderqueer Wikipedians, and Category:Transsexual Wikipedians.
