  • keep and redirect and speedy close There are no contents thus no need to merge. I've kept it and turned it into a redirect since the name Pondicherry is still well known. Since the article is at Puducherry I think we can speedy close this.-- Obi-Wan Kenobi ( talk) 16:11, 5 May 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep I'm using this category to organize my user articles; in this case I'm using this category as a tag for potential presentations at WikiMedia events, viz., WikiCon USA 2014. Perhaps, I've overlooked user categories; is there a category tool for user pages, is there a way to add categories in the user namespace? -- CmdrDan ( talk) 07:09, 5 May 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Typically, the only categories for User space are ones that indicate groups that the editor is allied with (Wikipedians who are engineers, who belong to WikiProject Spain, etc.) or who are sockpuppet accounts. Even on drafts in your user space, categories should be added only when the article is moved into mainspace. It's not appropriate to have personal categories that don't serve organizational purposes for en.wikipedia. Maybe there is something similar you can use at WikiMedia.org? Liz Read!

Didn't notice that but I agree with that move. I don't think a formal request would be opposed as the current spelling is more popular in RS, and is in line with standard English transliteration of Arabic.
