- Nominator's rationale: Too little content for an eponymous category. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 06:33, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. I do not see a scope for expansion here. Based on the article Slumber Party Girls, they were a band active for about a year. They only released a single album before disbanding. Dimadick ( talk) 21:53, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Too few subcats and articles. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 05:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. This category is about The Bear Quartet, an Indie rock band from Sweden. The band is probably notable and they have been around for 27 years, but their article is a stub and few of their many albums actually have articles. First we create content, then categories.

- Propose merging Category:Labor in the European Union to Category:Labour in the European Union
- Nominator's rationale: Opposed speedy nom. Per WP:STRONGNAT topics related to the European Union should use British or Irish English. The European Union itself always uses the spelling "Labour" see here and here AusLondonder ( talk) 02:26, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Support: Articles and categories about the EU should prefer British/Irish spellings to American spellings. SJK ( talk) 04:24, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Support per SJK. giso6150 ( talk) 05:35, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Support nomination, but the correct procedure would be to speedy delete the duplicate
Category:Labour in the European Union and to rename the older
Category:Labor in the European Union to
Category:Labour in the European Union.
Note also that while it seems to be the case that EU institutions generally use British English, note that this isn't the case for all EU member nations, as several of them have stronger ties to the U.S. than to Britain. -- PanchoS ( talk) 18:35, 1 February 2016 (UTC) - Support nom -- EU is multi-lingual, with translation at its core. Since UK and Ireland are members and use British orthography, it is inevitable that the EU will invariably spell it "Labour". Peterkingiron ( talk) 10:55, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:NONDEFINING (but not WP:OCAWARD)
- These categories all group people by how many times they have received the same exact civil award, not different levels or degrees of an award. This seems trivial because the people who won the Red Bannner of Labour 5 times don't have any more or less in common with each other than those that only won it 2 times, for example. We don't categorize governors who were elected twice differently than those who were elected once or singers with 3 albums differently than singers with 4 albums. (I'm not asserting that winning the underlying award is undefining under WP:OCAWARD.) - RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Note: Notified Folks at 137 as the primary category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Soviet Union. – RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Background For nearly identical recent CfD discussions, see here, here and here. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:37, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

- Support per nom. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Support -- I could possibly see a case for having multiple awards as a separate category, but not each number. However I will go along with precedent. There may be a question as to whether some awards were not given so frequently as not to be worth having a category for, but that is for another day. Peterkingiron ( talk) 10:59, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
- Support. The number of times a person has won an award is not the basis for a separate category from the main one for the award winners. The article may certainly contain sublists for multiple wins — but it's not a matter for the category system to delineate. Bearcat ( talk) 20:52, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

- Propose Deleting Category:Space Propulsion Group
- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT.
- Only contains 1 article, Space Propulsion Group, so it doesn't aid navigation and I don't see any immediate room for growth. (If the topic ever gets up to around 5 articles, no objection to recreating though.) - RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:31, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Note: Notified Ohms law as the category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Space broken anchor. – RevelationDirect ( talk) 00:31, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. While we have a low threshold of notability for companies, this one seems non-notable even for an article, much less for a category. The article on the Space Propulsion Group is an out-of-date stub that only mentions a single client for this company: NASA. They are not an industry powerhouse, have not affected popular culture at all, and have not accomplished any breakthroughs. What are we supposed to cover about them?
