Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page

I left a comment over there, post-closure, as I could not determine exactly which one of your talk pages would be proper. Finally, I decided on this one, I hope this is a correct place. I was an active participant in the discussion, and I disagree with the closing. These are the main reasons, as also posted at CfD, partly quoting the closing opinion:

However, this is WP:CFD, and probably not the place to determine how and where to clean up all of whatever may or may not have been left from an RFC (and its closing and re-closing).

If that is so, an opinion should not have been rendered. Is this the right forum or not? Notice, as it was pointed out by several people, that the category was already the subject of discussion at its project page. The nominator could have continued the discussion there. Instead it was brought to CfD.

Those who suggest that this could be kept, mostly also agreed that it needed to be renamed/repurposed in light of the reverted RFC closure. Which, in category terms, essentially involves removal of the existing category, and re-creation under the new name.

This is an entirely novel definition of "renaming" (there is no "repurposing" as the sole purpose of tracking categories is to track). Renaming a category involves... editing the category name... removal and recreation would be absurd.

And in the discussion below, there is no consensus for it to be (re-)created/renamed.

??? Clarify? "Recreated" and "renamed" are not the same thing. Which one is the "no consensus" applying to? And if it applies to renaming, how is the "no consensus" evident? It is as valid, or more valid, to state that there is no consensus to delete.

From here, I would suggest starting a discussion as to whether a tracking category for the parameter(s) in question should be created, and if so, what the name of it should be.

Irrelevant. Unless there is a new guideline regarding the creation of tracking\maintenance categories that I am unaware of. 98.0.246.242 (talk) 01:32, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As you have started a

WP:DRV discussion, at this point, I'll defer to that discussion. - jc37 21:09, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply
