Nominator's rationale: delete, Chhattisgarh exists since the year 2000 so nothing could have been established as early as 1975. It was part of Madhya Pradesh. If not merged, rename to Category:1975 establishments in Chhattisgarh because of a typo. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:55, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERCAT, this is unnecessarily specific. Motorsport has only been around for roughly a century, albeit one which happens to span a millenium change. Giraffer (talk) 13:58, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok maybe the title is wrong but the purpose was to have a cat for races instituted in last decade or millenium like a category 'races by decades'. I know there are no other cats categories yet, but if we go back, ho how can we grow? gtp (talk) 14:05, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Races by decade may be a useful category, but I think races by millenium is not (especially given that we're only talking about a ~100 year period). I have no idea what your last sentence means. Giraffer (talk) 14:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Corrected my previous reply). My idea was to have century categories XXI, XX and (maybe) XIX century: if we look far in the future wikipedia, it is a good beginning. For the same reason spanning milleniums seems overcat. but today it means 2 categories (2nd and 3rd) instead of 3 (centuries) so...I've been bold. The purpose of such bi-categorization would have some logic if we consider major endurance races were founded after prior '60s or after 2000s. Not in the middle. gtp (talk) 16:54, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Needed-Class articles

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category is empty, and I think it always will be. No WikiProjects have Needed-Class subcategories. The way to handle needed articles is to list them at WP:Requested articles. If one is created as a draft, a redirect, a disambig or a stub (or better), then each of those have their relevant Class. That is to say, if we create a page for a needed article as a redirect, then it should be in Redirect-Class, and could only be in Needed-Class if somebody manually added it there as well.
I considered just renaming the category from articles to pages, as this is currently an exception among the non-article classes listed at WP:Assess. As soon as it's an article, then it's a stub or better. But if it's not an article, them it must be one of the other classes e.g. redirect. So, it's not needed.
WP:ASSESS gives the example of Free City Of Mainz as of 2018, but that has since been written, and was a redirect then. "Needed-Class" does not seem to have been discussed on the talk page of that project page since 2009, when talk pages were allowed in isolation. ≤
Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_April_14#Category:Needed-Class_articles was closed as Keep, but that was when projects had Needed-Class subcats. Category:Needed-Class former country articles was deleted under WP:G6 by Explicit in Oct 2023, apparently after this template edit by MSGJ to "use standard extended scale".
Interwiki links show that 3 other Wikipedias currently have this category, but only one (Chinese) has anything within it, and that's just 3 empty topical subcats.
If deletion is approved, this should be listed on the CFD/W/Manual page, as various templates will need to be amended. – Fayenatic London 14:08, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: or Merge with Category:Women film pioneers. Very vague category parameters. Omnis Scientia (talk) 13:15, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
