Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/User/Archive/Discussion history
(Redirected from Wikipedia:UCFD/H)
This list shows a comprehensive history of all user category discussions on Wikipedia, including CFDs since the closure of Wikipedia:User categories for discussion, RFDs of user category redirects, Requests for undeletion, and deletion reviews. This list was created for the following uses:
- Finding user categories that have been re-created after a consensus has formed to delete (making them eligible for a WP:CSD#G4 deletion)
- Make sorting discussions by topic easier to get a sense of the appropriateness of a particular type of user category
- Make citation of discussions easier by providing links to each discussion
All user category discussions are listed with the exception of discussions resulting in re-listing or closed as being presented in the wrong venue, although the re-listed counterparts to these discussions will be listed. Deletion review discussions resulting in re-listing will also be included. Speedy merging or rename candidates, processed through the speedy section at CfD (and are thus uncontroversial and do not have a discussion linked to it) are also excluded, although the initial merged or renamed category is still WP:CSD#G4-able.
While this list includes a showing of discussion "precedent", it should be noted that consensus can change. Double standards for the same type of categories should be avoided, however. A disagreement with the closure of any of the below discussions needs to be brought to deletion review to be overturned, and should be discussed with the closing admin before bringing it there. Discussions resulting in retaining a category can be renominated freely in good faith, usually after some time has passed to determine if consensus has changed.

Notes
[edit]- ^ Categories with a result of renaming or merging, even where the target category is later deleted, will be marked as having precedent still in effect due to the fact the initial category should not be re-created, unless overridden by a later nomination.
- ^ Precedent is most often not established due a result of no consensus or due to a speedy deletion. The speedy deletion process does not create binding precedent in most cases. For instance, a category that becomes empty during the nomination and is speedy deleted as empty would not set deletion precedent. Likewise, a nomination being closed due to an author requesting deletion during the discussion would not create deletion precedent. A grey area exists here for nominated categories where a clear consensus has formed to delete, but an author comes in and preemptively (but still in good faith) requests deletion. Categories under such circumstances, as determined to the best of our ability, will be marked as having mixed/ambiguous precedent (technically WP:CSD#G4 would not apply, but a speedy deletion would likely be upheld at deletion review nonetheless). In some cases, a speedy deletion does constitute good precedent, such as a speedy deletion due to vandalism or nonsense - presumably a re-creation of such a user category would still meet the original reasons for deletion. Categories speedy deleted under such circumstances will be marked as having precedent still in effect. Precedent is also not established during a few other rare occurrences, such as a deletion review resulting in re-listing or a generalized discussion over a category tree with no category change agenda by the participants.
- ^ a b c d Cite error: The named reference
onlyuserboxwas invoked but never defined (see the help page). - ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m Discussion also included non-user categories which are not shown in this table
- ^ The category was created containing articles rather than users however the discussion also came to a consensus that a user category containing vandalism would be deleted too
- ^ a b c d e f g No precedent established because the only rationale given for deletion was that the categories were empty, so they could freely be re-created in good faith.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m No precedent established because the only rationale for merging or deleting was that the category contained only a userbox, so it could be freely recreated in good faith as long the recreation contains actual users
- ^ No precedent established because the sole reason for deletion was that the category contained only one user, who agreed with the deletion.
- ^ a b c Marked as having mixed or ambiguous precedent because the primary reason for deletion was that the category was empty, although other actions were suggested that would have been taken if the category weren't empty.
- ^ a b c d Marked as having ambiguous precedent because a clear consensus to keep had formed prior to the nominator withdrawing the nomination.
- ^ Although the category was emptied during the course of the discussion, so was speedy deleted as empty
- ^ Although the resulting list was deleted at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Aliases of 76.66
- ^ The result of the discussion was to delete the category if it was possible to update Twinkle to not rely on the category, and rename it otherwise. Since Twinkle was updated successfully, the category was deleted rather than renamed.
- ^ Marked as having mixed precedent because the sole rationale for deletion of Category:Slavic Wikipedians was that it contained no actual Wikipedians, which does not prohibit recreation of a category that contained actual Wikipedians in it. The precedent against the existence of Category:Wikipedians of Slavic descent. (an implausible redirect with a trailing period) set by this discussion is still valid.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k Marked as having ambiguous precedent because the premise of the speedy deletion was to avoid multiple discussions about whether redlinked userpage categories are allowed, and it has now been definitively established that they are not
- ^ A later discussion in 2020 found a lack of consensus to delete the category, overturning any precedent that may have been established by the 2017 speedy deletion
- ^ a b c d e Unfortunately, there are no easily accessible records to detail all subcategories nominated as they were not individually listed.
- ^ This recommendation was not followed up on for seven years
- ^ Deletion of just Category:Wikipedians who use Microsoft Windows was overturned and relisted at deletion review, although the relisted discussion resulted in consensus to delete it
- ^ Speedy deletion overturned at deletion review, although a later discussion resulted in consensus to delete the category (non-speedily)
- ^ Precedent overturned by virtue of BuickCenturyDriver creating legitimate sockpuppets and the category being recreated for its intended purpose.
- ^ Marked as having mixed precedent because Category:Wikipedian engineers was later a merge target, and thus recreated, in this CFD.
- ^ Precedent overturned by a later discussion ending in "No consensus"
- ^ Precendent overturned by deletion review
- ^ a b c d While the exact category in question had not been previously deleted, the closing administrator determined that a past discussion regarding similar categories served as speedy deletion precedent.
- ^ Precedent overturned by Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 November 25#Category:User latn resulting in no consensus, although it was later re-established by Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 April 13#User latn
- ^ Precedent overturned by Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 February 19 deleting the now-emptied category
- ^ Precedent overturned by Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2011 October 2#Users by service award ending in rename, although the renamed categories were later deleted
- ^ Marked as having ambiguous precedent because there was a clear conensus to rename the category to Category:Wikipedians in Kiev (which was rendered moot by the deletion as empty)
- ^ Nomination also renamed several other non-user categories that were part of the same discussion, but all user categories involved were deleted.
- ^ a b c Noted as "complicated" because that's the term the closing admin used. These discussions were, in reality, superseded by a later discussion on April 27 which is listed above
- ^ Despite numerous subsequent discussions on the existence of categories for this subject, the specific precedent set here to follow user category naming conventions is still valid
- ^ Precedent overturned at Deletion review, although a series of later discussions established a new precedent to delete this category
- ^ In this discussion the closing administrator endorsed the deletion, but also remarked that this closure should not be used for precedent purposes and that the categories could be recreated in the future if there was interest in doing so.
- ^ Marked as having mixed/ambiguous precedent because the deletion of Category:Gay Wikipedians was overturned at deletion review, several of the other categories have been recreated out-of-process, and a speedy deletion nomination Category:Pansexual Wikipedians was declined due to those recreations.
- ^ The closing administrator endorsed the deletion of Category:Deceased Wikipedians, while overturning the deletion of all other categories. This is marked as having mixed precedent because some of the categories that were undeleted were subsequently successfully nominated for deletion.
- ^ Marked as having ambiguous precedent because even though the most recent deletion discussion resulted in keep, the category has since been speedy deleted (presumably per IAR) and salted.
