- Nominator's rationale: Wikipedia category namespace is not a place to screw around. WP:OC/U#Personal userspace categories. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:53, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

- This is the normal process and venue for discussing categories that may not be compliant with policy. With the level of categories you create, I would think that you would understand that by now. Either state your case or let the discussion run its course. Either way, Pppery has done nothing wrong here. Sergecross73 msg me 23:36, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
