| Category:"Related ethnic groups" needing confirmation |
Keep. Contrary to the nomination, there is some latitude for having maintenance and cleanup cats on article mainspace (cf. Category:Wikipedia infobox cleanup, Category:Wikipedia maintenance). However, if migration of this template-generated category to article talk is to be considered, it should be run with the involvement/consultation of the wikiproject WP:ETHNIC which instituted this (temp) measure; it seems that no-one had provided a notification there that this was under discussion here. Will do so, as if it is to be done will require some further modifications to the project's template banner code |

Since there was a consensus to merge the first two, but not to what, I'll merge Category:Criticism involving the September 11, 2001 attacks into Category:Alternative theories of September 11, 2001 attacks. If this is not acceptable, another CFD can be ran but at least the articles are in one category. As for Category:Groups challenging the official account of 9/11, there seemed to be a consensus to keep it as a separate category and to rename it, but no consensus as to what. |

no consensus. A quick poll of google for "health risk" shows that Radiant! is indeed correct. Laser printers, sprouts, sexual intercourse, loneliness, leaky roofs, mold outbreaks, and rodents were found to be health risks, yet if they were added to the category, I'm sure they'd be immediately removed. It is subjective, period. However, Johnbod pointed out that if it didn't exist, something would replace it. There was no suggestions as to what to rename it to, therefore the no consensus. |

listify. An important factor here is that our entire category tree of actors does not subdivide by gender, as evidenced (among others) in the precedent cited by ProveIt. It is certainly true, as Cgingold suggests, that "some non-Indian Wiki readers may be interested in reading about female Indian film actors", but to facilitate that we should write an article like Women in Indian film - such an article is far more informative than having a "woman" tag on the bottom of these actor articles. And, to avert an old chestnut, changing a category into a list is not a loss of information. So let's make a list article of these actresses and merge the categories. (note: list here) |

I checked all of the articles in the category, and none of the people have died earlier than July. So it is being kept up to date. |

delete. The concept of an organizing principle for redirects (say, as under category:Middle-earth redirects) is fine and workable as long as it is under a structure organized by a WikiProject. But this is one editor's well-meant attempt to create a process without consensus, and it doesn't work. There are thousands of categories that could have this treatment, but only a very few that come with the personnel to maintain it. I put the main article into category:Elsevier scientific journals, and also took the opportunity to do the same with Current Opinion, thus emptying category:Current Opinion journals and making it eligible for deletion. Obviously, both of these categories can come back when there are many articles that deserve them, which I fully expect |
