- Nominator's rationale: Koka is a small city and has only one museum. This category has no expectation of expansion. Miho Museum should be categorized into Category:Art museums and galleries in Japan and Category:Shiga Prefecture in replacement. Umebo ( talk) 12:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete/merge per nom. I notice there are a number of similar one-item categories in Category:Museums by city, from Japan and elsewhere. Regardless of the "wider scheme", I think this category should be restricted to cities with at least 3 or 4 entries - mostly only the major US & European cities use this category, but imagine what it would look like if every city piled in. Johnbod ( talk) 18:15, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Merge - I also second Johbod's opinion about one-item categories for Japan. It seems that recently, many things have been subdivided by city without much need. A case could be made for the largest cities, but, that may even be overkill. At any rate, that is something for us to eventually discuss at WP:WPJ, and not here. Neier ( talk) 12:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Upmerge this and similar categories as nom, or to a regional category. Single article categories which cannot be populated are pointless. Peterkingiron ( talk) 23:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Category is redundant. This information can be found using the What links here option on the templates page, and thus the category has no useful reason for existing. Thewinchester (talk) 09:11, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Also a breach of WP:SELF in a rather major way. While such categories can come into existence for testing purposes or for setting up a bot to make changes for a very short period of time, this does not appear to be one of them. Self-referencing categories are useless for readers and do not translate to other content providers using Wiki content. Orderinchaos 08:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I created the category so that a bot could output a count of the number of old articles using a template no longer in use (see: Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Maintenance/Backlog). I have no problem with it being deleted, for the above valid reasons, but I would appreciate and suggestions on an alternate way to get a count. - Trevor MacInnis ( Contribs) 21:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Koka is a small city and has only one museum. This category has no expectation of expansion. Miho Museum should be categorized into Category:Art museums and galleries in Japan and Category:Shiga Prefecture in replacement. Umebo ( talk) 12:20, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete/merge per nom. I notice there are a number of similar one-item categories in Category:Museums by city, from Japan and elsewhere. Regardless of the "wider scheme", I think this category should be restricted to cities with at least 3 or 4 entries - mostly only the major US & European cities use this category, but imagine what it would look like if every city piled in. Johnbod ( talk) 18:15, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Merge - I also second Johbod's opinion about one-item categories for Japan. It seems that recently, many things have been subdivided by city without much need. A case could be made for the largest cities, but, that may even be overkill. At any rate, that is something for us to eventually discuss at WP:WPJ, and not here. Neier ( talk) 12:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Category is redundant. This information can be found using the What links here option on the templates page, and thus the category has no useful reason for existing. Thewinchester (talk) 09:11, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Also a breach of WP:SELF in a rather major way. While such categories can come into existence for testing purposes or for setting up a bot to make changes for a very short period of time, this does not appear to be one of them. Self-referencing categories are useless for readers and do not translate to other content providers using Wiki content. Orderinchaos 08:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I created the category so that a bot could output a count of the number of old articles using a template no longer in use (see: Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation/Maintenance/Backlog). I have no problem with it being deleted, for the above valid reasons, but I would appreciate and suggestions on an alternate way to get a count. - Trevor MacInnis ( Contribs) 21:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
