Category:Recycling in the usa today\ (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This could possibly be speedy deleted as nonsense, looks to be some story by a single-purpose account. Only page in it is a user page, so I guess this is supposed to be a user category. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Testcat (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

We already have Category:X1 for testing purposes. Would probably qualify as a G2 deletion, but I see this has already been deleted as G2 previously, so perhaps users thinking about recreating this would be better off being linked to a UCFD (this) that will point them to Category:X1.

• Delete entirely redundant to Category:X1. Icewedge (talk) 02:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep: well I don't really care much one way or the other, but this seems a far more intuitive name for a test category than "X1" (who ever's going to think of that?)--Kotniski (talk) 08:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

"Wikipedians by operating system" category, which have all been deleted. See here. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete per precedent. Very little benefit for collaboration, also there is really only one mainspace article to which this category applies and usercats that refer to only one mainspace article are not particularly useful. Icewedge (talk) 06:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:User guitar-0 (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Category:User guitar-6 (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

0-level category and a joke category. All 0-level categories have been deleted. 6-level text is "This user is Jimi Hendrix". No other category has a 6-th level. Both are currently empty, but it hasn't been 4 days so C1 doesn't apply, and I'd also much rather prefer a deletion here to bar recreation. VegaDark (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Coalition Against Tagalog Imperialism (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

No article on Coalition Against Tagalog Imperialism, so can't possibly support collaboration. Support/oppose category, which have all been deleted. Finally, there is no indication this is a user category. VegaDark (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
• Delete it seems like this category is an attempt to create a POV pushing Wikiproject of sorts. What it looks like is that Arikasikis (talk · contribs) is trying to marshal editors against "Tagalog Imperialism". Icewedge (talk) 05:32, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Ek$i Sözlük Contributors (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

No indication this is a user category, so needs a rename at minimum. Would also support deletion as I don't believe categories by contributon to other websites are useful for Wikipedia. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• Rename to Category:Wikipedians who contribute to Ek$i Sözlük or delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:22, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
• Comment I don't really know how it works here, so even as the creator of the category I can not really say that I'm strongly against a delete or a rename, but it is not a user-only category. ie Okan Bayülgen and Murat Arslan are also some of the exposed contributors of the website, and actually I'm pretty sure that there are more of these non-wikipedian-contributors within wikipedia. So I think the question is, whether this is a noteworthy information or not. I would say that it is from a turkish point of view. It's really hard to explain this to a non-turkish-speaking-person, but to give a couple of examples, it's a website where celebrities care a lot about, it's cited quite a lot on the newspaper articles and TV shows, when somebody is starting a research it's one of the first places they look at etc. So it's basically like an undergound wikipedia written in colloquial language, and a large part of contributors see it almost like a secret organization like, say, freemasons :). See it for yourself; go to http://www.websitevaluecalculator.com/ and try both wikipedia.org and sozluk.sourtimes.org, you'll be surprised :) But again, I'm not strongly opposing a rename or a delete, you probably know better how it works here.

  • We should not be mixing mainspace articles and Wikipedian user pages in the same category. If both categorizations are considered appropriate, the category should be split. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 09:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - perhaps the best course of action is to depopulate this category of user pages, and then let CFD take care of this past that if they don't think this is appropriate for mainspace pages. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
