Rationale: Defunct is not the correct word. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2010 April 1#Category:Disused railway stations in the United Kingdom.

Propose renaming to Category:Former railway stations in Hong Kong. Alternative name can be Category:Disused railway stations in Hong Kong. But the latter is funny for those that are kept for other purpose, e.g. kept as museums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.118.162.88 (talk)

~~Obsolete Category. Delete. Argolin (talk) 21:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)~~ *Note. Category is not tagged. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:48, 1 May 2010 (UTC) Vegaswikian, what category isn't tagged? I really did try to follow the deletion instructions. Really. They are not clear and have to be rewritten. I have placed the template on the category page Category:Canadian musical recordings. I completed it with a full story. Am I supposed to copy that template here as well? Inquiring minds want to know... Argolin (talk) 00:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC) [reply]

~~Well, the directions clearly say to use {{subst:Cfd}}. If you do that, then the next template shell is there for you to copy to this page. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]~~

Nominator's rationale: Delete. This category isn't useful and not needed by the Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian music. I have moved it's children Category:Canadian albums and Category:Canadian songs directly under Category:Canadian music. Issues regarding the categorising of Canadian cats to it's other parent Category:Recorded music have been resolved. This category has one article: Audio-Visual Preservation Trust of Canada. This article also belongs to Category:Music organizations based in Canada. Argolin (talk) 02:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As nominator has said, this category is redundant to all the others; it houses only one article, which is categorized elsewhere. Probably it was created by a user not familiar with the pre-existing category structure. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 09:28, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it was created in 2005 — the existing category structure then was much more flexible and make-it-up-as-we-go-along than the existing category structure now.

Delete per nom; not needed and not paralleled by equivalent categories for any other country. Bearcat (talk) 06:33, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Adaptively reused churches

The result of the discussion was: Delete. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:38, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: ???. My impression from the debate on Category:Recycled buildings in Toronto is that we don't do categories that tell you that a building has had more that one use, since all buildings worth their salt with go through many uses over their lifetimes. You could claim that church buildings are different, but right now I'm not convinced. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 20:54, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – we do have Category:Former church buildings and various others in Category:Buildings and structures by former use. Occuli (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. What a mess, the few samples I checked are disused not reused (they were built as churches and closed as churches, nothing adaptive). Others simply passed from one denomination to another. There may be some value in "Museums housed in former church buildings" or "Recording studios housed in former church buildings" (correct me if these categories already exist) - where building type is significant for the function of its new owner. East of Borschov (talk) 19:16, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This seems to be a catch-all for any church that was closed, sold to a different denomination.... I don't think this represents a coherent group. Mangoe (talk) 02:59, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Wrong name of the category. NovaSkola (talk) 11:42, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. Obvious typo and empty duplicate of Category:Azerbaijani folklore.- choster (talk) 13:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
