Should be replaced by Category:History by nation. This was moved to Category:history by country following a two to one vote last week that hardly anyone seems to have paid attention to. The note, made in that debate, that country and nation mean two different things was for some reason ignored. Category:Czech history is not the history of a country, but the history of a nation. The change in name also forced some subcategories to be expelled. Category:Jewish history, for instance, is now classed only under Category:History of religion, which is deeply misleading. - SimonP 23:47, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

This category has an improper spelling and has been converted to Category:Fourth-generation video game consoles; therefore, it should be deleted. Marcus2 16:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There is as yet no definition on Wikipedia of what precisely Jewish literature is exactly. This category was created in a care-free fashion, and at the same time by the same user as a near duplicate to Category:Yiddish literature with basically the same 3 or 4 entries placed in it, compare [1] and [2]. This is a "category in search of a subject", and until such time as the subject of Jewish literature is developed on Wikipedia, there is no point to this category. There already exist related categories such as Category:Jewish texts relating to Judaism, Category:Modern Hebrew writers and Category:Israeli writers as categories representative of both Hebrew language and Israeli ( Jewish literature). The aforementioned thus create further doubt about exactly what Category:Jewish literature uniquely includes? (Maybe some day it would be good for secular Jewish books or authors not writing in Hebrew or Yiddish.) But at this point it appears to be a weakly defined category and should be deleted.

There were only about five items in this, which I have now moved to the rest in Category:Political organisations. Deus Ex 11:00, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This category was created for two Swedish scientists, Hans von Euler-Chelpin and his son Ulf von Euler, both Nobel laureates, and as a subcategory of Category:Swedish nobility. I removed the "Swedish nobility" categorization, but it is in any case silly to have a category for only these two persons. Uppland 09:43, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Too damn wordy, and actresses is not appropriate, where "actor" is gender neutral. Suggest Law & Order actors, Actors in Law & Order etc. Three subcats need renaming too. - SV| t 07:56, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
actor is NOT gender neutral; women, as well as men, engage in acting. performers is a neutral word. heavily gendered words toward masculinity are passe. yawn.

Ought to be renamed to Category:Users of banned substances in football. The title itself is POV-sounding. Furthermore, it is also inaccurate: Mark Bosnich uses cocaine, which hardly makes him a cheat (cocaine reduces rather than enhances performance). Mandel 07:10, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Use of commercial or proprietary lists by Sony, FHM, Playboy is not an NPOV use of categories. Depopulate list to article, and recat articles by better scheme. - SV| t 00:34, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
