No userboxes are deleted due to discussions on this page.
When discussing categories which are populated partially or wholly by the transclusion of userboxes or other templates, the category, not the templates, is to be the subject of the discussion. For userbox deletion discussions, please see Wikipedia:Miscellany for Deletion.
Comments should address the categories under discussion, not other Wikipedians.
Comments that do not address the nomination may be ignored. Comments concerning the process, or the location of the process, or meta-discussions about Wikipedian categories in general, should be taken to an appropriate discussion page.

The deletion, merging, or renaming of user categories is discussed on this page. The process is the same as at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Place one of the following templates on a user category up for discussion:

  • {{cfr-user-speedy}} - to propose the category be speedily renamed.
  • {{cfr-user}} - to propose the category be renamed.
  • {{cfm-user}} - to propose the category be merged to another category.
  • {{cfd-user}} - to propose the category be deleted, or in situations in which none of the other templates above seem to apply.

For instructions on closing debates, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Working/User.

Completed discussions are listed in the discussion archives, although some will also be listed at the workpage for user categories until all contents are dealt with.

November 23

Category:Wikipedians in Montréal

Propose renaming Category:Wikipedians in Montréal to Category:Wikipedians in Montreal
Nominator's rationale: Rename. Category needs to be renamed to match the common English spelling of main article Montreal, and for that matter, master category Category:Wikipedians in Quebec, neither of which use the accented "é" in the English Wikipedia, per Wikipedia:CANSTYLE#French_names . Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Rename. Consistent with the well-established consensus on the English Wikipedia. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 21:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy close and relist at WP:UCFD. Otto4711 (talk) 21:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
    • I tried to use the cfr-user template, but I can't figure out how to fill it in so it doesn't say CATEGORY UNKNOWN... Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:50, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
      • Fixed and moved. Bearcat (talk) 22:06, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy rename per nom. Icewedge (talk) 23:55, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Categories are duplicative of the Category:Wikipedian guitarists series of categories. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who love Fiddleheads

Category:Wikipedians who love Fiddleheads (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

"Wikipedians by food" category, additionally this uses "who love", all previous of which have been deleted. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete no benefit to categorizes users by what kind of food they like. Per VegaDark and numerous precedents. Icewedge (talk) 06:14, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Pointless over-categorization. Fresh spring fiddleheads fried in butter are damn good though. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:50, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who use Eudora

Category:Wikipedians who use Eudora (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Despite being in the "Wikipedians by web browser" category, Eudora is in fact simply an e-mail client, not a browser. Such categories have been deleted before as not being useful for the encyclopedia to categorize. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who use Iceweasel

Category:Wikipedians who use Iceweasel (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Iceweasel is now a redirect, and this has apparently been renamed to GNU IceCat. We should rename this category to match the article name. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who use NetWare

Category:Wikipedians who use NetWare (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Appears to be another "Wikipedians by operating system" category, all of which have been deleted. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians who use WordPress

Category:Wikipedians who use WordPress (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

According to our article, "WordPress is an open source blog publishing application." Not helpful for Wikipedia to categorize users by blog publishing application preference. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 00:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Suggestion. Just a thought, but if these are deleted, what do people think about a friendly note to members of categories like this that they may like to watchlist the relevant page, for example our article on Wordpress? The only utility I can think of in having a category is to find someone if there is an issue with the article. Would such a note go some way to covering that base?

Category:Recycling in the usa today\ (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This could possibly be speedy deleted as nonsense, looks to be some story by a single-purpose account. Only page in it is a user page, so I guess this is supposed to be a user category. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete/speedy delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Mose to subpage and delete, it seems the user is trying to create an article sandbox in the category space. Icewedge (talk) 02:50, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete - Creator is confirmed SPA, and as a category for some nonsense piece the creator wrote. —Ceran(dream / discover) 02:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as nonsense. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 04:01, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete. Wizardman 00:41, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Category:Testcat (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

We already have Category:X1 for testing purposes. Would probably qualify as a G2 deletion, but I see this has already been deleted as G2 previously, so perhaps users thinking about recreating this would be better off being linked to a UCFD (this) that will point them to Category:X1. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete entirely redundant to Category:X1. Icewedge (talk) 02:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep: well I don't really care much one way or the other, but this seems a far more intuitive name for a test category than "X1" (who ever's going to think of that?)--Kotniski (talk) 08:58, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:User Tetsudo Fan

Category:User Tetsudo Fan (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Not sure what this is, but at minimum it is improperly named with "User" at the beginning. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: the category is generated by {{User Tetsudo Fan}}. So apparently from looking at the template this category is supposed to be for fans of the Japanese railroad system? Icewedge (talk) 06:29, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
    • That also has some sort of box pertaining to an individual user (the creator), so this may be some sort of individual user category, a further reason to delete (plus, being a "fan" of Japanese railroad is not something we need to categorize). VegaDark (talk) 21:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per VegaDark. Icewedge (talk) 03:53, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Stickfigures

Category:Stickfigures (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Only contains a template and a user page, so I think this is a user category. "This page is about stickfigures". Not helpful to categorize. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Icewedge (talk) 06:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedian Leaving Certificate Students

Category:Wikipedian Leaving Certificate Students (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I fail to see how this category can be used for collaboration. "This category is for Wikipedians who are currently studying for the Irish Leaving Certificate" Too narrow for collaboration, and even if it wasn't too narrow it makes no sense to only categorize students familiar with this. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedian postcrossers

Category:Wikipedian postcrossers (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Members could only be expected to collaborate on a single article, so this looks too narrow for collaboration value. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 03:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per precedent. Very little benefit for collaboration, also there is really only one mainspace article to which this category applies and usercats that refer to only one mainspace article are not particularly useful. Icewedge (talk) 06:39, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:User guitar-0 (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Category:User guitar-6 (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

0-level category and a joke category. All 0-level categories have been deleted. 6-level text is "This user is Jimi Hendrix". No other category has a 6-th level. Both are currently empty, but it hasn't been 4 days so C1 doesn't apply, and I'd also much rather prefer a deletion here to bar recreation. VegaDark (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Coalition Against Tagalog Imperialism (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

No article on Coalition Against Tagalog Imperialism, so can't possibly support collaboration. Support/oppose category, which have all been deleted. Finally, there is no indication this is a user category. VegaDark (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete as nom. VegaDark (talk) 23:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete it seems like this category is an attempt to create a POV pushing Wikiproject of sorts. What it looks like is that Arikasikis (talk · contribs) is trying to marshal editors against "Tagalog Imperialism". Icewedge (talk) 05:32, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
