Nominator's rationale: Delete. Confusing - this is used by boxers who have won regional or local Golden Gloves amateur boxing championships but who do not qualify to be in Category:National Golden Gloves champions. Winning such a competition does not confer notability per WP:NBOX. Only 4 people are in the category now. 3 of the 4 are professional boxers and they are better categorized using other existing boxing categories. 1 is a professional hockey player and his being in this category does not add any value to the encyclopedia. Note that the "Underpopulated category" template is a recent addition from last November. The category has existed since 2007. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:53, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unnecessarily WP:OC#SMALL and WP:OC#NARROW subcategory for an individual neighbourhood; Category:LGBT culture in Birmingham is sufficient (and not all that large), and the main article already links to all of the other pages in the category anyway. Merge. Bearcat (talk) 19:23, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Yet another in the constant profusion of quadrant-specific diffusions of LGBT categories last fall by banned user RafikiSykes and his sockfarm. No real indication that we need a separate category here, when Category:LGBT culture in London already existed and wasn't all that large to begin with. Merge.

Nominator's rationale: The word "retcon" can refer to all sorts of continuity changes made from one instalment to the next, even very minor ones, so it's not appropriate to use it as the name of a category for films that ignore previous instalments entirely. Also, the term is rare outside fandoms, which means many readers won't understand it. "Alternative sequel films" is much more intuitive and precise. —Flax5 16:01, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This category is just horrendous. a-there is no real clear definition. b-the suggested definition involves us in trying to say that an area is "traditionally inhabited by Kurds". However considering the anti-Kurdish policies of Turkey, population change in some areas, and the contested nature of even who is a Kurd this is a mess at best. Even worse, the idea of what is "traditional" is not clear. How far back to Kurds have to have lived in the area. Would we exclude a place that has a current Kurd majority if the Kurds were not the "Traditional" inhabitants? For example, if we could find places in Germany with Kurd-majority populations would we include them or exclude them because that is just the result of post-WWII mgrations and not "traditiona". Then we could revive the "Hispanic" category, but exclude Orlando and its large Puerto Rican population because they are not "traditionaly" there like the Hispano population of New Mexcio.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:45, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
