Propose deleting Category:Dead Dungeons & Dragons deities (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This is a rather pointless category without any navigational purpose. TTN (talk) 18:52, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete A bit of gaming trivia, especially since the dungeon master really determines who or what is dead at any given time. Seyasirt (talk) 16:58, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
upmerge to the parent of D&D deities, in case some aren't already there - safer that way.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 23:52, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge to Category:Dungeons & Dragons deities. This category is too fine a distrinction, especially since we almost never use "dead" in category names.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:28, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Upmerge -- Surely only one category for any gaming franchise. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:54, 4 October 2013 (UTC)----[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Worth Bingham Prize recipients (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This is a category for recipients of an American journalism award that is awarded to both people and to organizations. Having received an award is not generally considered to be a WP:DEFINING characteristic of a person (see WP:OC#AWARD). This category incorrectly (per WP:SUBCAT) places articles about newspapers (e.g. The Boston Globe) under categories for people (e.g. Category:People by status). For info: This could be listified, but, if a list is needed in WP, it would be better to generate it from an RS (e.g. see EL at the main article) than from the current contents of a category.

Delete Category:Idol (TV series) hosts
Nominator's rationale This is the very definition of performer (host) by performance (Idol TV series). We do not categorize performers by performance. Such leads to way too many categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:38, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
