Comment Just a note that
Category:High schools in Hualien City has been emptied. Regarding the editor I think you are referring to, I gave him a final warning but I guess it had no impact. Ponyo has already blocked them from category space, indefinitely. I would have gone to a limited duration block but they can always appeal. LizRead!Talk! 23:20, 4 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Delete per nom. Ponyo thanks for the block, Liz thanks for the explanation.

Category:Mayors of populated places in the United States
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: Page out of phase with its siblings in
Category:Mayors by country. This was speedy-moved to its current name in November with a rationale that wasn't entirely applicable to it -- it cited the precedent of several "American X by city" containers having been moved to "American X by populated place", but this isn't subject to that same issue because it wasn't "Mayors of cities". All other countries across the board are at "Mayors of places" rather than "Mayors of populated places", with this as the only outlier -- and while there may be a case that they should be at "populated places" too, that would have to be done to all categories right across the board, because it's not just a special US-specific issue. Further, all of the state-level subcategories here have also been left at "mayors of places" rather than "mayors of populated places", but they would also all have to be moved on the same grounds too. The problem with "by city" isn't automatically applicable to "by place" as well — the problem with the former is that sometimes towns and villages also have relevant content that can't be accurately categorized as "city", but "places" isn't subject to that same issue because towns and villages are also places, and obviously an unpopulated place can't have a mayor by definition. So moving "mayors of places" to "mayors of populated places" would be a valid discussion to have as to whether it's needed or not, but it isn't automatically militated by anything that's happening to "by city" categories because it isn't the same issue. Accordingly, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody's willing to tackle a comprehensive batch move of all "Mayors of places" categories to "Mayors of populated places", but there's no reason why this one specific category would need to stand alone as a unique divergence from all of the other categories.

Strong support. Lots of people will have been killed in a different century than they were born. This renaming centres the time of death, and makes the category's purpose unambiguously clear. In this context, the date of birth is
WP:NONDEFINING.
Rename, while I don't really expect that people have been categorized by date of birth, the proposed names are nevertheless clearer than the current names.
