Propose deleting Category:Fictional indigenous peoples in the United States (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: This misbegotten category serves no purpose: The sole subcategory is for fictional Native American individuals - NOT for fictional peoples. I was about to remove it, but left it purely for this CFD discussion. (I DID already remove the only other content, which was the article List of fictional Native Americans - again, a listing entirely of individuals.)

Note: I have already restored the necessary parent cats, which had been removed by the creator of this category. Anomalous+0 (talk) 00:07, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete assuming this category can't be populated with fictional peoples. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:00, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I actually spent a good deal of time looking for such articles and could not find any. Anomalous+0 (talk) 11:42, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete peoples is used for ethnic groups and tribes, not individuals. Dimadick (talk) 14:07, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in theory there may be some fictional groups, but we at present lack article on them.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:16, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:The Five Boroughs (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: As per WP:SMALLCAT: no potential for growth, not part of a defined category structure. Main article Five Boroughs of the Danelaw links the boroughs adequately. Jellyman (talk) 21:10, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. If kept change the name to match the article. Even here in a Commonwealth country I instantly thought this related to New York. Grutness...wha? 01:46, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to match main article as Category:Five Boroughs of the Danelaw. This was a polity, close to being (if not actually) an independent state for a period in the 9th century. I agree the present name is obscure. I agree there is little scope for expansion, but six articles is enough to keep a category. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:27, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support, also per WP:NONDEF. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:44, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
