Nominator's rationale:Retrogaming is "the playing or collecting of older personal computer, console, and arcade video games in contemporary times". Categorizing games that are played/collected as retrogaming is not a defining characterstic of those games, and is highly

Keep - Actually the definition is not "the playing or collecting of older personal computer, console, and arcade video games in contemporary times" that is written no where on the page or in the description. It is a category for video games that were produced in ANY YEAR but are no longer produced today, and therefore must be played on their original systems, ie
Pong or
Asteroids. It is a category I based off
Retrogaming. Its not my POV, but fact that the games and platforms have been discontinued.

"Retrogaming is used to describe any video games that are not currently being produced and are played on obsolete or discontinued platforms in modern times". Let's break it down.
"Retrogaming is used to describe any video games". Really? Any video game that fits that description?
"that are not currently being produced". What does "produced" mean? Like being sold? Or pressed? Or is available at all?
"and are played on obsolete or discontinued platforms". The PSP is discontinued. You think we should incorporate its massive library of games?
Ive already answered on the WikiProject: Video Game page but, fine, Delete the Category. It is obvious to me that continuing to argue is pointless.

Delete - per nomination, and discussion that preceded this at
WP:VG. Its very difficult to define "retrogaming" in the same way that we don't use "
classic rock" as a genre in music articles - its very difficult to define or create cut off points.

I don't agree at all. There is a huge difference between Our Lady of the Hens and Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The same about Christianity in Pagani. VicipaedianusX09:26, 18 August 2016 (UTC)reply
Delete category -- This is essentially about a local church in
Pagani, Campania and its festival. I would suggest that the article on the church should appear in
Category:Our Lady of Mount Carmel and the article on the festival should be merged to the article on the town. The target appears to be hosting articles sharing a name, which is strictly not allowed, but I assume that they all have some connection with the Carmelite Order, which makes it just about permissible.

Agreed. Given that it was me who created the "faulty"-named category, I didn't even think about how "invalid"-named category wasn't actually specific as to its use anymore. Top job to
Nyuszika7H for thinking of this!
