- 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.
- The result of the discussion was: delete...and already empty. The Bushranger One ping only 02:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Delete. Overcategorization of performer by performance. We don't categorize films by what actors appeared in them. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:58, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- Delete Per the multiple similar categories already deleted for the same reason. Lugnuts ( talk) 10:19, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

One ping only 02:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Propose renaming Category:Kyrgyz literature to Category:Kyrgyz-language literature
- Nominator's rationale: Rename. This category is for Kyrgyz-language literature. The category for literature of Kyrgyzstan is at Category:Kyrgyzstani literature. We need to add the "language" because sometimes "Kyrgyz" is used as a synonym for "Kyrgyzstani". Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:23, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- Comment is this supposed to be for the language or both the language and ethnic literature as well?

talk) 04:15, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure what the original intent was, but it looks like a language category to me. There is Category:Literature by language but not Category:Literature by ethnicity, so it's a good bet it was for language. I suppose literature of the language and of the ethnic group quite closely overlap? Good Ol’factory (talk) 04:36, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- Support per nom. 70.49.127.65 ( talk) 04:15, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- Support per the well-reasoned nomination. Since "Kyrgyz" is ambiguous, applied both to the language and the nationality, it is necessary to clarify the scope of this category as a part of Category:Literature by language. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 04:40, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: SPEEDY DELETE, empty "category." postdlf ( talk) 02:42, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This is a draft article, not a category. The draft cites no reliable sources and states that "pogging" was invented yesterday, so this isn't a viable article either, per WP:NOTNEO. John of Reading ( talk) 21:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Rename. The main topic seems to be freecycling rather than regiving; the latter is narrower and somewhat deprecated. (See also Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 June 16#Category:Regiving re the head category.) – Fayenatic L ondon 07:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Modern aerobatic teams to Category:Aerobatic teams
- Nominator's rationale: This is a classic example of a "current" category of the sort that is discouraged. The header notes: "currently flying aerobatic teams". Yet some of these teams come and go; some in the category are no doubt defunct. This category should be merged into its parent (then redifussed as necessary), as the "modern" (misnamed as well as inappropriate) lable is not useful to Wikipedia's readers, nor is it defining. The Bushranger One ping only 06:06, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
