The result of the discussion was:Merge. The category redirect is kept, as there is a clear absence of consensus to delete altogether, and redirects are cheap, even in this namespace. bd2412T 04:51, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
Merge without deleting. The existence of the category shows that someone didn't find the existing category, and it's entirely a reasonable name, so {{category redirect}} it instead of deleting it. Nyttend (talk) 11:20, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If it's so impossible, why did someone create this instead of using the correct category name? Nyttend (talk) 11:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good question. Some top-of-mind possibilities: they thought that "in India" was a too narrow or a redundant naming, or they didn't check the category's existence at all. In either case a redirect wouldn't have helped. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:50, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In the former case, they would have seen that it was deemed to be sufficient, and in the second, this would have done the check for them. Nyttend (talk) 21:21, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - just not necessary given the other cat exists. This creation is one of many examples of what happens every year when Dalit History Month takes place and a horde of newbies turn up to right great wrongs. To answer Nyttend's query, the answer is simply that it is a newbie mistake. Whether it should be merged or deleted is beyond me, though - the category specialists are an law unto themselves and I don't understand their rationales most of the time. - Sitush (talk) 07:33, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Category:Indian National Congress politicians. To a foreigner like me, all these guys appear to be rather ordinary politicians; they don't look like leading political theorists. I can see a place for prominent political theorists by party affiliation, but you'd need solid references for that: people viewed as prominent theorists in academic literature, not simply in newspapers and other unreliable sources for this kind of thing.

delete I don't believe every country deserves an automatic category. Especially as the game of cricket isn't played on any organised basis in Alabania. LibStar (talk) 14:25, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: to remove the ambiguity. People in Ireland don't often use the prefix "county" when referring to a county ... so "I'm from Kildare" could mean either County Kildare or the town of Kildare.
Support – per Sligo, Dublin and other precedents. Oculi (talk) 10:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
