Nominator's rationale: Delete. This was listed as a speedy rename, but there were two options. If kept, it should be renamed to Category:Apple Inc. evangelists. Bottom line this is subjective inclusion criteria. As evidenced by the articles in the category, it is not clear what objective criteria we have for inclusion here. The proported main article is a redirect to an article about criticisms of Apple. Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:36, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category improperly mixes fictional characters with actresses who portrayed them. The actresses should not be so categorized per WP:OC#PERF and Category:James Bond characters suffices for the character articles. Suggest salting the category as well since per its history it pops up on occasion. Jerry Pepsi ( talk) 19:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply
  • The nominator is not suggesting the deletion of the article Bond girl as this would not be a proper forum for it.

Nominator's rationale: The current name is confusing, perhaps suggesting a family with the surname Muhammad. Category:Ahl al-Bayt is an option, mirroring the article Ahl al-Bayt. I was surprised to find no corresponding category for Jesus ( WP:SMALLCAT?). We do have Category:Family of Socrates, so perhaps Category:Family of Muhammad is an option.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 06:03, 26 November 2013 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure what Nass Country refers to. I suspect it's the basin/valley/watershed of the Nass River, this category should probably be renamed accordingly. If the members of this category are simply features in the same general area and we can't name it any better, we may just want to delete. BDD ( talk) 18:21, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply
see User_talk:Skookum1#Category:Nass_Country and note that "Nass Valley" is not quite correct as this region includes more than the valley of the Nass in particular and this is not a valley-articletitle but a region-articletitle. "X country" is a standard appellation for regions in British Columbia English (and often capitalized in media and guides, though not in anything I've seen in google as of yet). Skookum1 ( talk) 10:54, 15 October 2013 (UTC) reply
You indicated on your talk page that Nass Country is one of BC's historical geographic regions. Would it be appropriate to create a category for these historical regions? At that point it could be especially helpful to have a corresponding article on historical divisions of BC to refer to, though not really necessary. -- BDD ( talk) 17:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- this could be a legitimate category if it has definite boundaries. If it was the valley or a catchment, that would have definite boundaries, so that in/exclusion does not depend on POV. If there are other similar regions, we ought to have a tree for them all. These are principles. I do not know BC and cannot comment further. Peterkingiron ( talk) 09:52, 21 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Really, this sub-cat would still not be useful unless we had some other sub-cat schema to sub-divide people from Hollywood. But we don't sub-divide people by ethnicity or religion at the city let alone sub-city level, so what other schema do we have to sub-divide this. Even if we had writer, sportspeople, artists and muscians sub-cats, I still do not think this level would be useful. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:43, 15 October 2013 (UTC) reply

"and they may be broken down by decade, but neither of them needs to be broken down by year, and they definitely don't need to be combined into one category." But apart from that, there's nothing wrong with it... Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:50, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Delete It's more specific by year than traditionally done, which is not a problem itself (though I defer to the stub-sorting folks on whether it's desireable), but it's also less specific or a union of two long-standing distinct genres. Overall I don't see a need for this niche. DMacks ( talk) 17:43, 19 October 2013 (UTC) reply

see User_talk:Skookum1#Category:Nass_Country and note that "Nass Valley" is not quite correct as this region includes more than the valley of the Nass in particular and this is not a valley-articletitle but a region-articletitle. "X country" is a standard appellation for regions in British Columbia English (and often capitalized in media and guides, though not in anything I've seen in google as of yet).

You indicated on your talk page that Nass Country is one of BC's historical geographic regions. Would it be appropriate to create a category for these historical regions? At that point it could be especially helpful to have a corresponding article on historical divisions of BC to refer to, though not really necessary. -- BDD ( talk) 17:56, 15 October 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Comment -- this could be a legitimate category if it has definite boundaries. If it was the valley or a catchment, that would have definite boundaries, so that in/exclusion does not depend on POV. If there are other similar regions, we ought to have a tree for them all. These are principles. I do not know BC and cannot comment further. Peterkingiron ( talk) 09:52, 21 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Small category with no likelihood of expansion. Series characters are not independently notable and no new material is likely to be created. Jerry Pepsi ( talk) 17:53, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Most of the contents of this category, including two entire sub-categories, have been deleted. Category not needed to hold just the show article and its episode list. Jerry Pepsi ( talk) 17:21, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Really, this sub-cat would still not be useful unless we had some other sub-cat schema to sub-divide people from Hollywood. But we don't sub-divide people by ethnicity or religion at the city let alone sub-city level, so what other schema do we have to sub-divide this. Even if we had writer, sportspeople, artists and muscians sub-cats, I still do not think this level would be useful. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 18:43, 15 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Stub category containing a single article. Also, I don't see any reason why Tamil and Telugu should be together. User<Svick>. Talk() ; 14:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply
"and they may be broken down by decade, but neither of them needs to be broken down by year, and they definitely don't need to be combined into one category." But apart from that, there's nothing wrong with it... Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 17:50, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply
  • Delete It's more specific by year than traditionally done, which is not a problem itself (though I defer to the stub-sorting folks on whether it's desireable), but it's also less specific or a union of two long-standing distinct genres. Overall I don't see a need for this niche. DMacks ( talk) 17:43, 19 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Insufficient number of triathlon coaches to warrant a "Triathlon coaches by country" category and the necessary structure of sub-categories, of which this would be one. NSH002 ( talk) 14:12, 14 October 2013 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Delete. We do not need this triple intersection; any articles should be (and indeed are!) placed in Category:Mexican expatriate footballers and the appropriate country-specific subcats of Category:Expatriate association football players.
