Propose deleting Category:Mumble rap (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Too little content. Upmerge child categories as appropriate. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Artists by Japanese record label (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: We don't need a scheme of artists by record label nationality (and, in fact, we don't as this is miscategorized under Category:Artists by record label). This is a trivial fact that doesn't help with navigation. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:40, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I created it because a similar category exists for South Korean labels. And the category actually helps navigation a lot because if you are into J-pop you get to browse only the categories related go Japan. Actually, the category has already helped me a lot. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:54, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't Category:J-pop musicians already serve that purpose? Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- No, you can't browse by label there.
  And actually, I don't know why the Category:J-pop musicians event exists. All modern Japanese music (including rock) is classified as J-pop by the industry. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:27, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 20:30, 29 January 2019 (UTC) [reply]

Procedural keep Per Moscow Connection, deleting just this category for this reason doesn't make much sense; if you believe the concept shouldn't have a category, renominate this one with the South Korean category. Nyttend (talk) 23:53, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Zen Circus albums

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: keep. Withdrawn, band article has been resurrected and seems likely more album articles will be created, rendering my original rationale invalid. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:53, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Zen Circus albums (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category of redlink band. Might become useful/necessary if the band ever becomes notable enough to have its own article along with all their other albums, but at this point it is not much use. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 07:31, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm going to see if I can recover the Zen Circus article as it was deleted via PROD three years ago, and I'll see if I can make something of it from the info at https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_Circus. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 16:45, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, I can undelete it for you if you want. Still raises the question of whether a category is necessary when we only have one album article though, unless you're planning to write some of those as well? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:56, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - The category should stay regardless of its size. To quote WP:SMALLCAT: small categories are ok if "such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme, such as subdividing songs in Category:Songs by artist". Pichpich (talk) 17:22, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think it's quite likely that the band is notable since there's a lengthy well-referenced article on the Italian Wikipedia (it:Zen Circus) as well as articles on the German and Spanish Wikipedias. If the PROD is overturned, then the category should stay. Pichpich (talk) 20:12, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Paid contributors/No listed employer

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: speedy delete by RHaworth per G8. — JJMC89 (T·C) 06:04, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose renaming Category:Paid contributors/No listed employer to Category:Paid contributors with no listed employer

Nominator's rationale: Follows the same format as Category:Paid contributions with no listed employer. Its also makes more sense grammatically (imo). DannyS712 (talk) 04:26, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
