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: Delete all. Timrollpickering 11:49, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per
WP:SMALLCAT, only two articles and both articles don't even mention that the person was a vizier. No need to upmerge to Category:Yazdegerd III, since both articles are also in Category:Generals of Yazdegerd III. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:34, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: delete, redundant to its only content, child Category:Muslim conquest of Persia. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:33, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete per
WP:OCEPON, too little content for an eponymous category, especially when the above subcategories are deleted. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:32, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

I have combined these three items as they raise the same issues. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:36, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:LGBT people from India and to appropriate Dalit categories where required. – Fayenatic London 00:10, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I know there was a deletion discussion recently about this, which arrived at no consensus, but I really can't see any valid argument for retention in that discussion. Siko claimed some sort of significant intersect but, aside from the claims made by the Dalit activists
righting of great wrongs. Yes, a category for LGBTQIA Indians might be appropriate because there is some commonality but to make out that there is a difference between Indians generally and Dalits
in particular in the context of sexuality really is stretching it. We've got to get a grip on this Dalit-related activism, which is carving out a niche in the project. We're not here to support or promote any particular social cause through articles and categories.
The previous deletion arguments were, however, valid, eg: smallcat, peculiar intersect, we do not categorise people by caste (which is what Dalit is, effectively ) etc Sitush (talk) 14:40, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Seems like excessive microtargeting to me, and one this is fraught with BLP issues as well. Also, per
    WP:OCEGRS, it is not clear that this group is "a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right". --regentspark (comment) 16:29, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

Nominator's rationale: This came to my attention through discussion of a parent category, and as it contains only one article and a redirect about a
WP:SMALLCAT. Move the one real article to the parent Turkic cat and delete this. Mangoe (talk) 13:59, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
