rename to "medieval Islam" format. There is a strong majority for renaming, but not clear agreement as to what to rename to. The phrase "medieval Islam" predominates in similar articles (e.g., Science in medieval Islam), so it makes sense to go with that. A followup nomination might produce a different result. Also, it is very possible that some of these articles are miscategorized, and so removal under those terms is endorsed by this close |

Delete - When I created this category, I did not know it is SOP for "remainders" or "miscellaneous"-type category, to be contained in the parent category, I now do. As creator and only "author of the only substantial content" I see no reason to bother with a discussion, since I totally agree with the nominator and I am probably the only person who is going to even comment. Therefore, I have moved all items to the parent category, have tagged the category {{db-author}} (since this category is and will always be empty) and closed this discussion |
April 26
|
| Category:Paranormal places |
no consensus. There's certainly no consensus to delete, as these are places known for people talking about them as paranormal. So then the question becomes: Does use of the word "paranormal" imply belief that the paranormal actually exists? There's no consensus on that here either, but at the very least it doesn't seem to commenters that it's as bad as "haunted." It's not clear where this will go from here, but bringing it up for renaming rather than deletion might help |
