Nominator's rationale: Non-English. Appears to be an attempt to create an article, but placed in wrong namespace.

Delete. If I overstated my knowledge of Bahasa Malay language, I'd say it was "nil"... but this seems to be a history of the Sabah village of
Api-Api. Whatever it is, it isn't a category.
Grutness...wha? 14:25, 3 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Delete as this appears to be someone who was experimenting or put something in the wrong place but it's not a category. --

Delete -- I cannot say articleise, becasue it is not in English.
Peterkingiron (

Delete per above. I'm assuming good faith and say that the editor was trying to (incorrectly) export their draft article from user space to category space --

Category:Alien zoos in fiction
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale:delete per
WP:NONDEF, in most articles in this category the concept of "alien zoo" is not mentioned and it is quite a stretch to deduct that the articles are about alien zoos after all.

Rename to
Category:Fiction about alien zoos and purge. Much of the contents do not fit the inclusion criteria, but 7 of the 16 articles probably do have this as a defining trait. Here's a rundown of the contents:
Rename/purge per LaundryPizza03, and I'd say keep Slaughterhouse-Five in it (zoo is central to the plot).
Grutness...wha? 00:45, 2 September 2021 (UTC)reply
Rename per nom. The category needs a better defined scope, but this is not a reason for deletion.

Comment' Sad enough that almost no one is aware and interested enough to populate this category. As a clear case of SMALLCAT it else must be deleted. --

Keep. Many University categories only have the two subcategories for staff and students.

Keep Upmerging would disrupt the tree, which should have one where the main article stands at its head.
