- The result of the discussion was: rename. ℯxplicit 01:46, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Nominator's rationale: These categories should be renamed to match their head articles, they would be eligable for C2D but for the fact that they have been through CFDs before, when the articles were at "Foo (district)" and "Foo (borough)" rather than "Foo District" or "Borough of Foo", see WP:UKDISTRICTS. The only one that could be potentially ambiguous is Eden due to the Eden District Municipality in Africa but that has been renamed to "Garden Route District Municipality" and probably wouldn't be confused with just "Eden District" anyway. Also the river is in Cumbria and is in districts other than just Eden.

- Question are there people outside the town of Dover who are from the district of Dover? Or does the category only contain people from the town? Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:03, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization and inaccurate. E.g. Cro-Mags don't really perform Hindu music. Upmerge as appropriate. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:17, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- keep Currently 4 articles have this category. 3 either have citations or discuss ISKCON influence. The Cro-Mag article might not fit in this category. Hare Krishna topics do not belong mixed with general Hindu topics as people interested in Hinduism generally do not want Hare Krishna topics and vice versa. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:33, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Category:Performers of Hindu music per WP:SMALLCAT, after removal of Cro-Mag only 3 articles left. While some people may not like it, Hare Krishna is regarded to be a Hinduist movement. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:22, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Nominator's rationale: listify and delete per WP:OPINIONCAT and it is also not a defining characteristic for most of these people. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:06, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I looked at the member articles for four people whom I had never heard of, and they all prominently mentioned HIV/AIDS denial. – Fayenatic London 21:40, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Looks notable to me. HIV/AIDS is not an opinion, it's a demonstrable scientific fact. Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:47, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep -- At one point, this was a seriously held view. Today it is rather similar to holding a conspiracy theory. Such outliers deserve to be highlighted. This is not the equivalent of a political opinion. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:16, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Peterkingiron. These people are conspiracy theorists. Dimadick (talk) 05:23, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - this is a notable conspiracy theory and the category is defining for some people, even if it should not be added to articles having only a minor link, as per all Wikipedia categories. I am however surprised not to find Jacob Zuma there, the South African President who explained how taking a shower after sex "cuts the risk of contracting HIV". Place Clichy (talk) 15:33, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, with some purging if necessary. For some people (e.g. Duesberg and Maggiore), their role in the HIV/AIDS denialist movement is the primary reason they have an article on here at all, so it's certainly a defining characteristic of their notability. Jacob Zuma certainly expressed a few odd statements about HIV/AIDS, but never once denied that the human immunodeficiency virus even exists as some other people here have done, so he would not belong here — this is not a category for "people who have made strange statements that showed they weren't well educated on HIV/AIDS", but for "people who espoused the conspiracy theory that HIV doesn't even exist at all", and Zuma was not one of those people.

- Keep The sources cited for individuals in this category treat it as a distinguishing characteristic which is necessary to mention in describing the individuals. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:27, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
