no consensus. While there are strong policy grounds for deletion, these have only persuaded a bare majority. I would encourage editors to attempt a definition, and discuss it on the talk page; and to purge category members who do not justifiably belong here. In prominent cases, it would be useful to leave a note about removals on the category talk page, as well as on the article talk pages. For the record, the category currently contains 59 pages, three of which are organisations. – |
