Nominator's rationale:Rename. Suggest renaming to match main article
Delhi Public School Society. One problem with the current name is that it can be misinterpreted as meaning "Public schools in Delhi", and that would be quite wrong, since according to the article the schools run by this society are private and they also exist outside of Delhi.

There are many things that could be said about this. One problem is essentially that of using a category to give undue weight to a historical fact that means something quite differently today than it meant at the time. To be a slaveholder in early America basically meant you were rich and not necessarily much else, whereas today of course it is viewed quite differently. Another problem if the category is kept is how we treat the previous decisions and where we go from here: if we don't categorize American people in general by slaveholding status, why do we categorize U.S. Presidents by that status?

The result of the discussion was:keep, but purge of individuals and repurpose. "Nepotism" may not be the best name for this category, so a renomination to rename it might be in order.--

Delete (or at least repurpose). I agree that in its current state this is a problem. It looks like it is categorizing people who some have said received their position based entirely on nepotism. This seems like a vast oversimplification in some of the cases. Perhaps a category is too blunt a tool to deal with this particular issue. If this merely categorized articles like
Ethnic nepotism and
Cronyism rather than people it could maybe be salvageable, but at this stage it is categorizing people and not those other articles.

Not bad. It's a bit wider in scope. The important thing is to write explicitly something along the lines "this category should not contain individuals".

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Number-one albums categories have repeatedly been deleted by consensus in other discussions with lists being preferred over categories in these instances. I don't think the creation of a genre category should override any previous consensus. Please see the following CFDs:
Weak Keep - I don't see a problem with the category, I think it is somewhat beneficial to see which albums hit number one on the chart, and having them listed in a category is suitable. —
