July 1

Category:Persecution by ethnic group

Nominator's rationale: As well as being poorly-named and ambiguous, this category is also redundant to its parent, Category:Ethnic persecution, which can serve perfectly well as the direct parent for all of the subcategories. Anomalous+0 (talk) 22:42, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Abdullah Öcalan

Nominator's rationale: Not enough here to warrant a category: only main article + 1 other article & one sub-cat. Merging not needed or appropriate. Anomalous+0 (talk) 22:33, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sumo people from Kagawa prefecture

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: has already been deleted (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:42, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I created Category:Sumo people from Kagawa Prefecture, not realizing that this category existed. "Prefecture" should be capitalized, therefore this category should be deleted. Pawnkingthree (talk) 17:51, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Basshunter

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON --woodensuperman 13:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Woodensuperman: I added redirect. Eurohunter (talk) 15:51, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's a redirect to the eponymous article. I really think we can do without this category. --woodensuperman 15:53, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Silver Crosses of the Virtuti Militari

Nominator's rationale: Clarification this category is for recipients, not for crosses... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:39, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gold Crosses of the Virtuti Militari

Nominator's rationale: Clarification this category is for recipients, not for crosses... . Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:39, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lords of Balaguer

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, this is a secondary title of crown princes and crown princesses of Spain. None of the people in these categories are known for active rulership of Balaguer. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:27, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orders of knighthood

Nominator's rationale: rename for consistency with the top Category:Chivalric orders. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Atlantic tropical cyclones that slowed or stalled over land

Nominator's rationale: This category is ill-defined and very subjective as there are a lot of systems that have slowed or stalled over land and no formal classifications. In fact I would argue that most systems that impact the United States slow down or stall over land. Jason Rees (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support deletion – agree with the nominator that the category is ill-defined. While I understand the general premise, numerous storms could be included here given the ambiguity of "slowing down", inevitably including a lot of storms that do not produce large rainfall totals and flooding as noted on the category page. A wide-range of systems would be included simply because the database of storms serendipitously happens to have a point where a storm's forward motion briefly dropped by a hair for an hour. Since many of the storms in the historical record do not have a precise record of their speed, it seems inevitable that inclusion into this category would run into original research. As an aside, I note the following articles in the category: Hurricane Klaus, which never made landfall; and Tropical Storm Hanna (2002), which slowed down by 2 mi/h for only a six hour period.
