Nominator's rationale: I found this as an ill formed proposal. Because it makes sense, at first glance at least, I fixed it.

Oppose The term and category "deities" includes divine beings of both genders, while the term "gods" here is masculine and the category includes only males.

Manual delete. The nom and
RevelationDirect are correct that this is an arbitrary cut-off date. However, deletion should be done manually to ensure that all the category's contents are properly categorised elsewhere, and are not simply stripped of date-based categorisation. --

Delete -- A mid-19th century date might have some merit for British sport. Its popularity rose greatly after the limitation on working hours in (I think) 1860s, which gave working men a half days holiday on Saturday afternoons. This means that the 19th century category might be split into 1800-49 and 1850-99, but the normal split after centuries is by decade.

Oppose. The nominator hasn't bothered to check the purpose of the category, which is not as he misinterprets it (and this is not the first such error to arise at CFD from the nom's lack of English as a first language). It would appear that the nominator never even looked at
Category:Planned cities, because the purpose of the category is made clear there. The nominator also gives no reason for deleting this category while keeping the parent
Category:Planned cities and all its subcats. It is depressing to see a nomination like this from someone who is so prolific in CFD participation, and even goes so far as to close CFDs. There is a
WP:COMPETENCE issue here. --

While "existing" may not have been the correct opposite word, I don't find much evidence that cities in this category were planned cities, except for Kyoto, but even for Kyoto it doesn't seem like a major descriptor.

Oppose The main article is
planned community and it involves the history and foundation of a settlement. As for
Kyoto, much of its history is covered on the article of its previous name,
Heian-kyō. It explains its foundation as a new capital in 794, the city layout as planned by
Emperor Kanmu and his court, and that it was patterned in imitation of Chinese capital
Chang'an, with the exception of lacking Chang'an's city walls.

Oppose per the obvious misinterpretation of "Planned city" by the nominator. However, the listed cities need substantiation by
WP:RS in regard to whether they are considered planned cities as a whole. Also, I have no idea what on earth led
BHG into attacking the nom so harshly for a forgivable mistake of the kind that has probably happened to anyone of us before. People have different qualifications, strengths and weaknesses. Not being a native speaker is a handicap, no doubt, but not an overriding aspect. While I may disagree with one or the other argument or proposal, all in all,
Marcocapelle's nominations have been amongst the best ones lately. --
