The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:46, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category was deleted previously, but G4 speedy deletion was declined due to the age of the previous discussion. That's understandable, but the reasons for the previous deletion are still relevant: This kind of category is a magnet for POV pushing and BLP issues. In spot-checking I found multiple cases where the category was applied to articles where the term "cult" did not appear anywhere in the article text, and at least one BLP where the related content was a brief mention of the subject denying an allegation of cultism. Even when use of the label is documentable from reliable sources, it is often contentious. Categories don't have the nuance to handle this designation well, so they should not be used for it, just as we have decided not to use biographical categories for some other contentious labels.

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The only category for exporters by country, does not appear to necessarily be accurate for sole subject in the category who operated a port. Unhelpful for navigation. AusLondonder (talk) 18:05, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films directed by Nancy Walker

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: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There has only ever been one item in this category, so the category seems to lack a reason for existing. No additional information is gained from this categorization that is not already in the sole article within it. The director died 32 years ago, so there will never be another film to be added to this category. Nicholas0 (talk) 17:09, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:50, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 4#Comedy actors, this is a WP:PERFCAT violation; actors shouldn't be categorized by the genre(s) in which they've appeared. DonIago (talk) 13:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films directed by Caroline Labrèche

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: delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Two related categories for co-directors of the same film. Per longstanding consensus, a filmmaker has to have a biographical article about the person before they get a "Films directed by" category to batch their films together -- but neither of these two people have a biographical article at all, so these aren't both necessary for the same single film. Bearcat (talk) 00:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, it might have been different if there were e.g. five articles in this category, but then at the same time it would have been more likely there was an article about Caroline Labrèche and Steeve Léonard too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
