Upmerge all to parents. I will list these on WP:CFD/W/M. This is going to be a long, hard, manual slog, so don't expect it to be done at all quickly. Of course, is anyone feels that they are burdened by an excess of spare time, then feel free to help out ;) |

Keep. Some persuasive points made against, but this raises wider questions than the simple disposal of one category. Per the cited example of Category:20th-century male ice hockey defencemen, it is clear that this scheme of categorisation has deep roots. I'd suggest wider discussion on this topic rather than sporadic, piecemeal nomination |

Administrative close: Immediate repeat nominations are generally not a good idea unless the previous discussion was closed "no consensus". Previous closer stated that "Consensus is broadly in favour of retention" of the category, so a new nomination to delete is probably inappropriate here. If the nominator disagrees with the results of the previous discussion, inquiries should be directed to the closer. WP:DRV can also be used if the issue cannot otherwise be resolved. (I note also that due to template application of the category, the old category has not even finished its merge to the new category. Perhaps we could wait for that to finish before further action is taken so we can have an accurate picture of what the category actually contains.) Done now. |

Delete. It would be nice if editors could dial back the rhetoric until it's clear to everyone what the other side is talking about. Vegaswikian never said anyone had done anything in bad faith or vandalistic, and the repeated assumption that he was implying this or using "code words" was an example of not assuming good faith. |

Administrative close. The same proposal was just made and was closed as "no consensus", and this discussion is essentially going down the identical path. Please re-read the close for a suggestion on how to best approach this in a new nomination. There are two separate questions that users care about, each of which needs to be addressed. The first questions is "keep vs. delete?". The second question is "if kept, do we rename?". We can't limit a CfD to one question or the other, so as I suggested before it may be helpful to have a discussion with two separate sections where each question can be addressed individually. If we do that, we should be able to easily identify a separate consensus (or lack thereof) respecting each of the two questions, instead of the mish-mash-type discussion we've had up to this point in both discussions. |
