Nominator's rationale: This category has 1 article. And since the club doesn't have a women's section anymore no other players will be added. The player in there can go into Category:Royal Antwerp F.C. players Dutchy45 ( talk) 20:30, 14 May 2022 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: delete, not a defining characteristic, it is not or hardly mentioned in any articles to which this might potentially apply. Note that this is not a smallcat nomination because the main article contains a list with quite a few bluelinks. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:35, 29 April 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl talk 22:13, 4 June 2022 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: The categorised entities were more properly polities or states rather than chiefdoms (eg see Sharer & Traxler 2006 [The ancient Maya (6th ed.)] p. 73, Rice 2004 [Maya Political Science (1st ed.)] pp. 4-7). In addition, these polities were not of the Yucatan peninsula, but rather in said peninsula. Finally, they were Postclassic states, rather than Classic city-states (which also existed in the Yucatan peninsula, and so should be distinguished from the polities in this category).

Category:Bakery cafés

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: no consensus. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ ( talk) 03:58, 3 June 2022 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Since I've proposed merging List of bakery cafés into List of bakeries, I'll also propose upmerging Category:Bakery cafés into Category:Bakeries. Bakeries come in many forms... there's no need to separate out cafés specifically. Also, café redirects to coffeehouse; "cafe" is a vague term, at least in the United States. There's no bakery café. -- Another Believer ( Talk) 00:28, 27 April 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Oppose, not all of them are clearly bakeries. On the other hand, not all of them are clearly cafés either. If this category is going to be dissolved, recategorizing should take place manually. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:52, 15 May 2022 (UTC) reply

  • Many historians, maybe a majority of our articles, work on the history of their native land, whether or not they are still there. They could all be categorised ethnically but it doesnt seem very useful. Better to categorise by subject they study which is easier to define and verify.

Nominator's rationale: This category creates compelling WP:BLP concerns. I think it's best to delete it. Iamreallygoodatcheckers ( talk) 02:45, 14 May 2022 (UTC) reply
Disagree completely. All the entries on the page have well-documented histories of involvement in sexual harassment scandals, all backed up by accredited sources. Treybien2 ( talk) 19:51, 14 May 2022 (UTC) reply
I tend to agree. It makes sense to keep the category and I believe it will help people using Wikipedia if it is kept. Historyday01 ( talk) 13:56, 14 May 2022 (UTC) reply
Delete, not really a defining characteristic unless the accused is convicted and there is proof. A lot of people accused of sexual harassment or misconduct don't get convicted due to a lack of evidence supporting claims. 2001:569:7F96:EE00:1552:AA4D:53B8:623B ( talk) 22:37, 22 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete not a defining characteristic, and a BLP issue given how vague "figures in" can be interpreted. –  Muboshgu ( talk) 21:40, 30 May 2022 (UTC) reply
  • Delete Obvious BLP issues. There are categories for people convicted of crimes or people who were victims of crimes, which are far more appropriate. This is too vague in terms of the "figures" and what counts as a "scandal". LM2000 ( talk) 06:44, 2 June 2022 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: Rename, as part of the hierarchy of categories which use the Research Triangle name.
