- The result of the discussion was: delete House Blaster ( talk · he/they) 00:33, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: High-tech is a hard thing to define precisely, so the inclusion criteria for this category are vague and subjective. For instance, the category contains
Science and technology in Israel but not
Science and technology in Country XYZ. I don't think we need
Category:High-technology as a subcat of
Category:Science and technology as this would just isolate a handful of pages in a subcategory without providing a meaningful help to readers.

- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCVENUE which explicitly mentions this category as an example of one which should be avoided "Likewise, avoid categorizing events by their hosting locations. Many notable locations (e.g. Madison Square Garden) have hosted so many sports events and conventions over time that categories listing all such events would not be readable."
