Nominator's rationale: This category only contains the main article Emília Vášáryová and Emília Vášáryová filmography. I don't think it aids navigation much as the two articles already link to each other. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:19, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: I realize we have a lot of reality show judges categories... this particular one seems to be a textbook example of WP:PERFCAT and non-defining for the massive number of otherwise notable people who have appeared in such a role.

  • Yes, that was my thinking too, and why I only nominated the celebrity judges category. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:50, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: redundant category, uses vague term "southwest" to describe precontact cultures spanning the US and Mexico. While the category says "periods" no archaeological periods are given, just four precontact cultural groups. Poorly worded, cultures are all categorized adequately elsewhere Yuchitown (talk) 04:50, 17 November 2015 (UTC)Yuchitown[reply]

  • Propose deleting Category:People listed in Hummel's Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: I don't understand the point of this category. Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period is just a biographical dictionary for the Qing dynasty (a.k.a. "Ch'ing Period"). It's not a primary source. Whether somebody is included or not included is completely arbitrary. It's kind of like Category:People listed in Encyclopædia Britannica, and I don't see anyone creating that category. (And while EB is continuously revised and updated, Hummel's book only has 1 version — from 1943). Timmyshin (talk) 04:45, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
