Category:Scheduled Tribes
- 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: Merge. The category redirect is kept, as there is a clear absence of consensus to delete altogether, and redirects are cheap, even in this namespace. bd2412 T 04:51, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

- If it's so impossible, why did someone create this instead of using the correct category name? Nyttend (talk) 11:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Good question. Some top-of-mind possibilities: they thought that "in India" was a too narrow or a redundant naming, or they didn't check the category's existence at all. In either case a redirect wouldn't have helped. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- In the former case, they would have seen that it was deemed to be sufficient, and in the second, this would have done the check for them. Nyttend (talk) 21:21, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - just not necessary given the other cat exists. This creation is one of many examples of what happens every year when Dalit History Month takes place and a horde of newbies turn up to right great wrongs. To answer Nyttend's query, the answer is simply that it is a newbie mistake. Whether it should be merged or deleted is beyond me, though - the category specialists are an law unto themselves and I don't understand their rationales most of the time. - Sitush (talk) 07:33, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge into Category:Indian National Congress politicians. To a foreigner like me, all these guys appear to be rather ordinary politicians; they don't look like leading political theorists. I can see a place for prominent political theorists by party affiliation, but you'd need solid references for that: people viewed as prominent theorists in academic literature, not simply in newspapers and other unreliable sources for this kind of thing.
