The purpose of articles is not to simply duplicate categories, but this list adds exactly zero information not provided by the articles in question already being in Category:Women inventors. There is no lead, no history of the subject, no references, just "binders full of women". Beeblebrox (talk) 19:16, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete per nom and for being far too broad. The days of (recognized) inventors of the female persuasion being a novelty are far, far in the past. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:48, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete, it is not properly alphabetized and does not even tell us what these people invented. I'd also recommend deleting List of women innovators and inventors by country, which is effectively the same topic and also lacks references. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 21:56, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete There's no reason to have this unsourced list. Category:Women inventors, also created by the same user 4 years earlier, already serves the purpose. For what it's worth, the creator User:Ottawahitech was permanently blocked in 2017 for participating via Proxy. — Maile (talk) 22:52, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
