Nominator's rationale: Requesting deletion per
WP:OCEPON and per precedent in CfD. Typically, eponymous categories for music acts with nothing more than albums and songs subcategories and a discography page have been deleted because the subcategories can be interlinked with a hat note and the discography page can be added to one or both of the subcats. They are warranted when there are enough distinct articles. I believe populating them with non-articles such as image files, audio files, and templates do not add to the navigational benefit of having these categories. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me17:37, 25 May 2017 (UTC)reply

Nominator's rationale: No potential for growth - is even a single other faculty member from this 2-year college likely to be the subject of an article? —

Nominator's rationale: There are no longer "Pink Sheets" in the US.
OTC Markets Group operates several tiers of over-the-counter trading: OTC Pink is one, but there are also OTCQX and OTCQB. I recently created the target category.

Support merge for now, per nom, but at the same time I wonder if the target should exist at all, per
WP:OCMISC, as the target category mostly means that companies in the category are not traded on any stock exchange.

EDITED On second thoughts, I think I will strike my previous comments on this. It's convenient in a way but I'm unsure.

Question Is this really for professional wrestlers whose families have never produced any previous professional wrestlers? I took it as referring to professional wrestlers from the first generation of the "sport" (comparable to First generation Dodge Stratus or First generation computer scientists), regardless of their relatives' occupations.

Yes. Wrestlers are often categorized or mentioned as "X generation wrestler" because of the overwhelming number of family relations in professional wrestling. Pro wrestling is a very nepotistic and secretive business so it's ended up this way. The artform doesn't really have generations like the ones you mentioned.

Question@
Swpb and
Shawn in Montreal: Why do we allow second and third generation categories but should we delete first generation wrestlers? Or should the second and third generation categories be deleted as well?

I'd say second and third make a little more sense since they have pretty specific criteria for inclusion. It makes more sense to define a person by what their parents are as opposed to what their children have done afterwards. It's kind of like with military brats, yes it may sometimes seem inconsequential but if you look a little deeper you see that it more often than not it ends up defining a wrestlers career and life in some way.

Handle like the other generations. If the criteria for second- and third-generations are simple, the criteria for first- are equally simple. If Dad were a butcher, but Grandpa helped to pioneer the "sport", whether you qualify as second-generation will also explain whether you're first-generation. I don't quite see the point of any of these categories, but I understand that there might be good reason for them. However, deleting one and keeping the other two seems like a bad idea: delete them all or keep them all.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: adding sibling categories
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –

Delete per previous deletion. Recreation of categories delted at cfd should be made more difficult, eg by requiring a drv.

Comment -- This appears to be an attempt to split people by the period when they were active, but the periods are arbitrary and whatever date is selected for a change, there will be careers that overlap that date.

Historic farms

Oppose merger of "Centennial farms" and/or "Century farms" into generic "Historic farms". Thanks for notice about this. There's no difference intended between "Centennial" ones vs. "Century" ones; I have a small bias towards choosing to use "Century". Setting up a category redirect or merging "Centennial" into "Century" is fine. Also, Century farms can naturally be a subcategory of Historic farms. However, the term "Century farm" is a designation like a historic site listing which is specific, is recognized by various state agencies, involves documentation that one family owned and operated the farm for 100 years (where "in the same family" and "operating the farm" have to be defined well enough, which may vary slightly by state). This is like the difference between generic historic houses vs. houses which are specifically listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places or the City of Los Angeles' Historic-Cultural Monuments or the like. See the
Century Farm article which lists the state recognizing bodies. It is temporarily a small category because previous members were lost in the past (perhaps one or both categories were deleted in the past). ["Category:Century farms" was previously deleted by
this CFD in 2011, in which !voting participants were ignorant even about what a century farm is. Perhaps
Century Farm article was developed more then or after.] There is room for an explicit list of them, but Categories and Lists are complementary (per
wp:CLT), and it makes sense to allow the category so that members for a list can be identified. --

Also
Jacob Nuffer Farmstead in Minnesota (currently a redlink) is a NRHP-listed one which will get an article and the category sometime, as will many others. Of 2,000+ NRHP entries with "Farm" in their name, it's not easy to see which are designated century farms, but a good number are.--
Oppose -- This nom amalgamates two different concepts. Centennial farms have passed down a family for 100 years. Historic farms should be a NTHP (or equivalent category). However two of the nom cats have a single article and should be merged (or reverse merged). There must be 100s of historic farms in other Europeans countries, but they are probably categorised elsewhere.

Nominator's rationale:delete, only contains a single child category, and no room for expansion since we normally name a category "Ancient history of" instead of "Pre-islamic".
