Nominator's rationale: WP:OVERCATEGORIZATION, this has never been done before for any other video game system, and this move is supported by most WP:VG members, who have already removed it from the affected articles. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 19:53, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Americanfreedom, thanks—would you please revert your recent edits related to these categories? Otherwise it creates more work for someone else czar 01:23, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. – Fayenatic London 21:43, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is to include non-building collapses (such as eroded natural arches), also per wider scope of parent Category:Former buildings and structures. If anyone feels this will pass as speedy, feel free to submit. Brandmeistertalk 15:04, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 21:47, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: We don't need a category for every place that charges a toll. Not a defining characteristic, and Wikipedia is not a travel guide.
Note: Nominator is IP 2602:302:d1a2:c740:1c81:b5d1:f7c8:5468. DexDor (talk) 21:58, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - these categories are at the top of a large tree of categories for toll bridges/roads (e.g. Category:Toll roads by country) and I'm not convinced that it's not a defining characteristic in many/most cases. DexDor (talk) 21:58, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep − it is a defining characteristic, IMO. Oculi (talk) 15:51, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- In my country (England) this is an unusual (and hence notable) characteristic today. In a former period turnpike roads were more common and would belong in a category for such roads. These are appropriate as a container category (or mainly such). Peterkingiron (talk) 22:45, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete whether a bridge or road charges toll is not a defining characteristic. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:23, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep well populated categories with many subcategories that are not being deleted. Certainly a defining characteristic of the road during the time it was a toll road, regardless of changes over time. Hmains (talk) 03:11, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, it varies by country whether this is a defining characteristic or not. For example in France all highways are toll roads so there it is useless to categorize toll roads separately, but in other countries toll roads are rare. There is no easy solution for this problem, a straight delete goes too far. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:33, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I support keep based on my Mexican experience, where toll roads also tend to be built to a higher standard than non-toll roads. Raymie (tc) 00:37, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It is a defining characteristic and has many subcategories for toll roads/bridges by country. Dough4872 15:44, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
