The result of the debate was rename.

Aside from the category name making no sense due to lack of context, even if that were corrected it would still be even more ephemeral trivia than a "dead mutant" category.

Delete category based on crossover video games between Marvel Comics characters and Capcom video game characters. A list would suffice; the fact that
Spider-Man was licensed for use in a particular video game is hardly a defining feature, any more than if he were merchandised in a particular
toy line. Just unnecessary and trivial clutter on articles.

Per the discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 October 13#Category:British skeptics and my closure of it, I have grouped all the skeptic categories together for an umbrella listing. The issue is whether to delete the categories, or to rename them to make their purpose clearer, something along the lines of Category:Skeptics to Category:Skeptic philosophers, and then a discussion of whether to follow the same convention for the sub-categories or whether to delete them as unneeded with the newly named category. Note the sub-cats are sparsely populated, 3 in the British, 3 in the Finnish, 9 in the Indian and 35 in the American, which includes Isaac Asimov and Julia Sweeney. I myself support renaming Category:Skeptics to Category:Skeptic philosophers and deleting Category:British sceptics, Category:Indian skeptics and Category:Finnish skeptics and Category:American skeptics.

Unnecessary category that will lead to many more such categories. A waste of donors' money. Jimbo discourages such categories
[2]. This category doesn't help in article development anyway (unlike some other
categories based on political ideas, which might help Wikipedians to find people interested in similar articles). Delete.
