Delete as nominated. Note that many articles in the category are stubs without any notice of religion (
Jerry Howarth) - BLP concerns. Articles that mention religion do just that, mention it. The category was created and populated by
user:Xnatedawgx yesterday. He's been notified of this CFD and perhaps can bring in arguments in favor of keeping.

Delete. I think we've had broad consensus in the past that we only categorize by intersection of religion and occupation when the occupation is somehow directly related to the religion. Here, there is none.

Category:Flying Nun Records artists' albums
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.
Nominator's rationale: Totally unnecessary intersection. Every album actually released by this record label should be merged into
Category:Flying Nun Records albums (or one of its other subcategories.) The intersection of artist and record label (including albums released on other record labels) is an unwieldy and useless way to navigate. —

Hello! I have created this category and some others more to give some stucture to the topic "Flying Nun Records". I have had a lot of difficulties finding informations on records and artists of this label. The idea behind
Category:Flying Nun Records artists' albums was indeed to find ALL albums released by FNR artists including albums released on other record labels than Flying Nun. A lot more of work is to be done and maybe somebody can help and I'd be thankful for everything. And please feel free to contact me if I am wrong here or there. In the meantime...please keep this category. Thanks and greetings from Germany!--

Category:Expatriate racecar drivers in the United States
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.
Nominator's rationale:Delete. This category is of no relevance whatsoever to a driver's career and surely fails
WP:OVERCAT. A single editor is adding drivers to this category depending on whether or not they have raced in the US. A very large number of racing drivers have raced in the US at some point and no attempt is made to discern whether or not they actually lived in the US or merely stayed there for a few weeks / months. Sport-specific categories such as
Category:Indy Racing League drivers,
Category:Indianapolis 500 drivers and
Category:NASCAR drivers cover the sporting angle, while simple nationality categories cover the rest.

Keep Please, stop this. It's about the racing drivers who have competed in series' of the country, just as the case with footballers playing in foreign countries. If those categories are allowed to exist, then why not this one? In the category description it's evident that it doesn't include
Formula One drivers or
Can Am contestants (that was a shared project with the Canadian Motor Sport Association). It's about taking part in an US-based series for a substantial amount of time. Thank you.

Delete I agree with Bretonbanquet, this is over-categorisation, I don't see the value of having this when series categories cover drivers racing anywhere perfectly adequately.

Delete Overcategorization. Creating a list would be bad because there are too many people to make a list usable and it would be difficult to find a reliable source which would be complete and unbiased toward a specific subset of this group. Royalbroil22:22, 7 August 2010 (UTC)reply

Category:Nazi sympathizers
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.
Nominator's rationale:Delete. This is a difficult concept to categorize by. What degree of "sympathy" must have been demonstrated to justify putting someone in this category? What sort of evidence is required? It's relatively easy to categorize people as being a part of an organization or political movement; it's very tricky to use categories to categorize someone as being a "sympathizer" or an organization or movement.
Good Ol’factory(talk)07:47, 7 August 2010 (UTC)reply
Delete There's no solid basis for categorisation here. Look at the
Heidegger debate and that's on firmer ground as he was a party member. The element of "singing for your supper" when living under a particular regime make any evidence of "sympathy" a matter of POV.

Delete - For a moment I thought we were revisiting a category that was discussed & kept a while back. But then I remembered that that was
Category:Collaborators with Nazi Germany, which was the result of
this CFD. It seems to me that it's far trickier to make a determination of who was a mere "sympathizer" than of who was a "collaborator". So I think the concept is just too problematic to serve as the basis for a category. Category creator notified using {{cfd-notify}}Cgingold (

Very strong delete per nominator. "Sympathy" for the Nazis could cover everything from suggesting that the Nazi building of
Autobahns was not entirely a bad thing through to a Good-old-Hitler-sorted-out-those-Jews stance. I am sure that the category had no malign intent, but the danger of a category based on a fuzzy concept such as sympathy is that at best it groups together people who may have radically diift view, and at worst it can used as an attack category. --

Category:French Socialist Party
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

Nominator's rationale:Rename. The name of the party is "Parti socialiste"—"Socialist Party". "French" is not part of the name. Thus the main article is at
Socialist Party (France). The categories need to be renamed to match. Also converting the category for "members" to a standardly named category for "politicians" of the party.

Nominator's rationale:Rename. Rename to match the name of the main article. Las Vegas, Nevada should only be used to refer to the city since that is the only US locality that has any form of that name (except for
Las Vegas, New Mexico).

Nominator's rationale:Delete. After removing the two technology articles, it leaves one article. I suspect that we don't already have a well populated category by now since this may not be the best way to categorize these. How many articles do we have here about specific sets that are not about technology or branding? Note this may have been created by a sock of a banned user.
