no consensus on this point, but only two users debated the issue. Personally, I think having categories like this would be more trouble than they would be worth; the subjective nature of when someone becomes "historical" is a key problem. This is easily resolved by having by-century categories for particular nationalities and occupations, which is where things seem to be headed in the overall category scheme |

Reverse unilateral action: merge new Category:Railway workshops in the United Kingdom back to Category:Railway workshops in Great Britain. If the GB category is going to be combined with Northern Ireland articles and changed into a UK category, this should be formally proposed and discussed in a new discussion. For now, there is no consensus to make that change. |

| Category:Spadones |
Delete; though may I suggest to the nominator that it would have been preferable to simply nominate this category for renaming to Category:Castrated people rather than moving all the articles to a new category and then proposing deletion of the emptied category. If the former approach is taken, it can avoid problems that result when others disagree with your unilateral decision, as illustrated below. (Incidentally, the word is spado, and is found in OED as a synonym of eunuch. The plural form is spados or spadoes. It is related to the word spayed, which refers to having ovaries removed, usually in the context of animals.) |

| Category:Tall buildings and structures in Paris |
Delete. Most of the buildings are already in the skyscraper category where it is appropriate. Chimneys are not skyscrapers since they are not inhabited as I understand the article. Les Invalides is an interesting inclusion since it appears that it is included in the category because of the church. So that article probably needs to be worked over and the categories moved to the individual articles. I did some of this, but it is not complete. So in the end, this category is pretty much a duplicate of Category:Skyscrapers in Paris when all is said and done. The list seems to be the best solution here since it can explain all of these differences. The discussion did not make clear why a tall building is different from a skyscraper or needs to be in a category with them. Chimneys and towers have their own category structure. The do not delete opinion was based on the failure to notify certain users. This is not a valid reason to abort a discussion based on any policies or guidelines that I am aware of |

| Category:Template-Class articles |
Keep. While the reason for the nomination may be correct, the problem is that this is really an issue that needs to be discussed first with the WP1.0 assessment team. While the name is in the main category space for the talk page, it is not really an encyclopedic navigation tool so it's not clear that any harm is resulting from leaving this along. So, have a discussion with the project involved and see if there is a consensus for change. If there is, they will need to change the templates. Part of the problem may be that the project does not come here to make category name changes so maybe that needs to change to avoid future issues |

We can not make a decision here without considering the close of the last version of this category and the closers comments there. While there may have been agreement that this name is better then the last, the result from this discussion comes out with the same result |
