Nominator's rationale: I don't know where exactly to draw the line on how many pages should make a family category, but put it this way, there wouldn't even be the Category:Kennedy family if there were two articles, one on JFK and one on his less famous son. Not to sound like I'm erasing single parents at all, but the word "family" conjures up an image of more than two people, else we would say "brothers", "uncle and nephew", "father and son" etc. Having the precedent that there could be a category for any case in which there are two related people on Wikipedia would open the floodgates to thousands of WP:NONDEF categories. What I'm trying to say is that yes, sources will mention Tomás Ángel as being the son of Juan Pablo, but they certainly won't be mentioning him as being the latest from the "Ángel family", as if that's a dynasty that people are aware of. Compare with stories about the Category:Thuram family [1], which I believe definitely cross the line into discussion of a family. Unknown Temptation (talk) 22:06, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Railway stations in Bedfordshire and Category:Heritage railway stations in England. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:44, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: One page category RanDom 404 (talk) 14:32, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One page perhaps, but it's part of a tree under Category:Stations on heritage railways in Great Britain that goes to county level. But if it must go, Category:Rail transport in Bedfordshire is a poor merge target given that the parents of Category:Heritage railway stations in Bedfordshire are Category:Railway stations in Bedfordshire and Category:Heritage railway stations in England. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:36, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: A page that was recreated by User:Ilov3gam3z. I doubt they will even notice I'm doing this. Anyway I originally asked for speedy deletion (with g7 criterion) of this category because this a category for a genre with a very small number of titles. We usually only have categories for a genre when there are at least more than 10 titles falling under the genre (this may exclude overly-specific subgenres). Only about 3 titles could be added to this category: The Power Toy, The Sandbox, and Noita. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 05:07, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I happened to stumble onto to this category very early after its creation, when it looked like this, an ill-formed category page. Instead of nominating it for deletion at that time, I cleaned it up and then populated it the best I could, which I guess only amounted to three articles. --DB1729talk 05:49, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
