November 6

Category:Top of the Pops people

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:PERFCAT. This is a "performance by performer" type of category. (The page List of Top of the Pops presenters should be upmerged, but no others) anemoneprojectors 22:55, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Wikipedian newpage patrollers

Nominator's rationale: This category was created today, but it seems redundant with the much older Category:Wikipedian new page patrollers (which is itself up for deletion). Psychonaut (talk) 22:13, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Sri Lankan country music

Nominator's rationale: As previously discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2015 March 21#Category:Sri Lankan country music, this newly recreated category is a sub-subcategory of Category:Country music, but the articles it contains don't seem to have anything to do with country music. If the category is to be kept, it probably needs to be renamed and recategorized. Psychonaut (talk) 22:06, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient roman forts in the United Kingdom sub-cats


Nominator's rationale: Renaming them to avoid losing them, as part of the CFD on ancient roman forts. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 19:55, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Albums produced by The Beat Bully

Nominator's rationale: Since an article about a record producer has been deleted per AfD, this category relates to the same, so it counts for discussion. DBrown SPS (talk) 16:13, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:German-language video game magazines

Nominator's rationale: Redundant category. It is equivalent to its subcategory Category:German video game magazines. The1337gamer (talk) 14:06, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While it could be argued that its subcategory is equivalent to it, it's certainly not the case that it's the equivalent of its subcategory. In other words it may be accurate to say that if a magazine is a German magazine then it's also a German-language magazine, but it's wrong to think that if it's a German-language magazine then that means it's a German magazine. Both Austria and Switzerland are German-language countries that are not in fact part of Germany. There are also large German-language populations in Italy (South Tyrol), Belgium, and Liechtenstein.
At the time when the category was created it was intended to group a number of German magazines together with the German-language ones from Austria (like GamingXP). It looks like the articles on the Austrian magazines have now been deleted or redirected and the only ones that remain are the German ones, but I'm rather doubtful that there are no notable German-language video game magazines outside of Germany. If we delete this category then I assume it will just be recreated down the road when a proper article is written on topics like GamingXP.
If there is a reason to delete the category until such time as articles are again written on Austrian, Swiss, etc. magazines then I have no objection, but the rationale that the category is redundant is incorrect. -Thibbs (talk) 17:59, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:American cricketers of Indian descent

Nominator's rationale: Non-defining trait, should be deleted per WP:NARROWCAT and WP:OCEGRS – "Dedicated group-subject subcategories … should only be created where that combination is itself recognized as a distinct and unique cultural topic in its own right." American cricketers of Indian descent are not collectively regarded as a "distinct and unique" topic. IgnorantArmies (talk) 14:05, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:WikiProject Worcester Central School members

Nominator's rationale: Decade-old tracking category for the members of a long-abandoned pseudo-WikiProject. Since none of the three members have edited since 2010, it's reasonable to assume that this is serving no useful purpose.  ‑ Iridescent 13:32, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Anti-globalism activists

Nominator's rationale: delete, by far most people in this category are not described as Anti-globalism activists in the text of the article. It looks like a case of WP:OR. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:28, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
