Other categories you mentioned are filled with people who became notable years after their birth. Might as well create categories for 2021 births and 2022 births (and so on) right now then. You are assuming a baby born this year will be notable this year. While likely there will probably be one, we don't know that and this is just a waste of space until that time.

Keep. 2019 is already populated. Some people are notable when they are born. Why delete this now when it will be reinstated before the end of the year?

Delete. If and when somebody does have an article to file here, it can be recreated — creating categories is not difficult enough to make it necessary to retain an empty category pending its eventual necessity.

Delete for now - Will be useful, but until someone born in 2020 and is notable enough to have a Wikipedia page, we don't need the clutter. Notable deaths are more common than notable births.

Support, "journal" is confusing, per nom. "Philately periodicals" (which came up in the previous discussion) might be an option, but "philately magazines" is clearly preferable as it aligns with
Category:Magazines.

Comment:
Ww2censor and
Johnbod, I am a bit puzzled by the "oppose but rename" !votes. The nom is to rename, so these !votes actually are "support but to a different target". As for that target, there is no "periodicals" category tree where this would easily fit. There is no category "periodicals by subject" (nor should there be, I think), so it is not easy to see where a category "philately periodicals" (preferably not "philatelic") should be categorized. "Magazines by interest" would appear to be a perfect fit, though. The original argument against using "magazines" was that some of the magazines in this category were "high-brow historical works", but "magazine" is most decidedly not synonym with "low-brow", so I don't think that that is a valid reasoning. --

To clarify
Randykitty, I'm against the specific rename and I disagree with the proposal, because most of there are NOT magazines in the general sense of the word, they are journals though perhaps not considered academic ones, they are still journals and many describe themselves as such. Philatelic society do not normally produce magazines, but either journals, newsletter or bulletins but not magazines, which as a collection are periodicals. The difference between using philatelic or philately is not too great but philatelists, and many others, normally refer to these publications as philatelic. I don't request or subscribe to a "philately journal" but for a "philatelic journal". Why not use use the
WP:COMMONNAME both the topic and the category?
Comment: The
Wall Street Journal and its readers will refer to it as "the journal", nevertheless, we call it what it is, a newspaper. Similarly, the publications mentioned above are not peer-reviewed academic journals and following long-standing procedure we call such periodicals "magazines". --

Comment I created this category partly in the hope that more items would be added. Having lived in the Middle-East I see great value in Judeo-Arabic cultural exchange but think that most of it involves the use of the language of one culture and the cultural style of the other. If anything I'd prefer this category to be deleated, if that may be required, and for
Salaam (song) to be placed in
Categories:
Arabic-language songs,
Hebrew-language songs and
Multilingual songs. Otherwise it could always be left for a while more.

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

Nominator's rationale: There wasn't a single "Taranaki war"; the pluralised and capitalised name refers to a series of three wars in 19th-century New Zealand, and is a better name for the category. It is also where the key article currently is, but since I put it there that should not be considered a relevant argument for moving the category to suit.
Grutness...wha?12:47, 1 January 2020 (UTC)reply
It should obviously be plural, since we have separate articles about the first and the second war. I am not sure about the capital W though.

I'd be happy with a lower case "W" and a cat redirect from the capitalised form - it looks like history sources are about 50/50 between the two.

Nominator's rationale: Textbook case of
WP:NONDEFINING. We don't even do this for the top positions of top journals (e.g. EiCs of Nature/Science/etc...). Low-level positions of standard journals don't need a category. (See also
this CfD).

Hmmm. would you actually support deletion of a category for editors of Nature? Unfortunately, most of these are just contributors, for whom it is not defining.
Johnbod (

Being editor-in-chief of Nature is a full time position and I would regard it as defining. I would not be in support of a category "Nature people". --

Delete. I don't know if similar categories exist for other journals, but it seems a bad idea. Association with a journal could be defining for, at most, its editors-in-chief, but given that academics routinely serve as editors of many journals over their careers I think even that's a stretch. Adding everyone who's ever published in a journal (as apparently this category does) would obviously lead to nightmarish
overcategorisation. –

Keep. but rename to Editors of the Americna Journal ofArcheology. At least 3 of the 8 people in this category were editors in chief of this journal, and, as them ajor Americna journal in its field, we should have article on the others also. Remove the ones who were not. DGG (
