Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a small town without the volume of related content to need an eponymous category. Besides the eponym itself, there's only one other thing here, which isn't enough.

Why not? We have endless categorisation by place and occupation. Education is more significant than location for most. It doesnt make much difference to a scientist where they are born, but the categorisation by place is significant for the place. If you dont think
Category:People educated at Eton College should be divided by occupation should you not nominate all of the subcategories together?

Much of this endless categorisation by place ('from' rather than birth) and occupation is being done by you. And you don't have consensus for that either. (Absence of consensus to delete is not consensus to create.) Eg
2020 March 26#Category:Architects from Dorset was upmerged, but you carry on regardless. All the categorisation ever done by secondary school has been done by you, Rathfelder, a consensus of one. You seem now to be advertising the significance of schools and places using the category system, rather than categorising biographical articles by defining characteristics. As for nominating them all, you are creating them faster than they can be nominated. (All was about 16 yesterday, now it is about 30 including Harrow, and counting.) [Good indenting, by the way.]

Merge back per Oculi and set precedent for other categories to be similarly merged. The categories created have been a highly selective set of backgrounds and occupations with a whiff of
WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS coming from the creator's comments - no writers, artists, criminals, cricketers and so forth.

Keep and containerize, people should be categorized by political or organizational function in the party. People who are merely a member of the party should be purged per

Nominator's rationale: Except for 2 pages in the California subcat and 1 in the Massachusetts subcat, all of these categories contain only subcats for disc golf courses. Most of those are themselves
WP:SMALLCAT, but will be nominated separately. –

Hi, I am the creator of this category. I wanted to understand that is there any policy that indicates that if random socks add pages in a category then the whole category must be deleted? What is the rationale of deletion of this category? At
Ambedkarism it is clearly written in the lead section that An Ambedkarite is one who follows the philosophy of Ambedkar. IMHO if there are pages that are added wrongly in this category, they must be individually removed and not the whole category to be deleted citing that reason. Please take up for discussion if the word "Ambedkarite" exists if no then I have no issues with deletion of the category. --

For keeping the category it is not sufficient that the word Ambedkarite exist. It should be a defining characteristic of the subjects in this category.

Keep - reasons
Ambedkarites are followers of the philosophy of
B. R. Ambedkar.
Purge or delete, as nominator mentions this is not a relevant characteristic for certain articles in this category which should certainly be purged. Opposers should make clear that this is nevertheless a viable category i.e. they should give examples of articles that should certainly stay in this category. If that does not happen the category may well be deleted.
