Category:British cycling pioneers

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 (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:58, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Only one of the subjects could really be described as a pioneer in the development of cycling, and the inclusion of nationality in this tree is too narrow to be useful SFB 23:31, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

State of Palestine

more categories
Categories added later, see below: - Marcocapelle (talk) 17:11, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, these are a few subcategories in the tree of Category:State of Palestine that apparently have been overlooked while the remainder of the tree was renamed. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Far-right politicians in India

Nominator's rationale: WP:OR, against standard and inaccurate category. Sources don't describe the added politicians as "far-right". Though some of them are associated with a far-right political group, but for that you have Category:Far-right politics in India, just like for the US you have Far-right politics in the United States‎ but not Category:Far-right politicians in the United States. D4iNa4 (talk) 07:45, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, I have taken the liberty to merge the two discussions, and to add another two (Irish and NI) nominations. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Do you have any evidence that the sources do not refer to the various Indian people as far-right politicians? The RSS, VHP and other Hindutva-type groups most definitely are described as far-right, fascist etc, so one would imagine that people who are officials in those groups must be. And, even if you are correct, is there any reason for not proposing a merge with Category:Far-right politics in India rather than delete? - Sitush (talk) 21:17, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I had nominated [1] and [2] for deletion. Other two were added by Marcocapelle. I cant see any sources defining Yogi Adityanath or Pierre Lagaillarde as a "far-right politician", but he is associated with a far-right group. This is why I had mentioned some of the individuals being "associated with a far-right political group". Categories under this title are only 4 compared to 43 of the "Far-right politics".[3] I thought deletion is better because existence of such category names will encourage creation of more similar categories. I am not opposed to replacing the category, in fact I was going to replace them already before starting this CFD but policies on CFD forbids it. D4iNa4 (talk) 05:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
When none of those sources describe them as "far-right", it is WP:OR. Also see deletion of a similar category before. D4iNa4 (talk) 05:23, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Women empowerment in Bangladesh

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: double merge per alternative proposal (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 06:24, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT, without a particularly clear distinction from the parent. And even if this were to be kept, it would need to be renamed to ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Women's empowerment in Bangladesh for grammatical reasons. Bearcat (talk) 21:53, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 05:54, 11 May 2018 (UTC) [reply]
