delete as POV. While this may or may not have the same issues as other anti-foo categories, I don't think we need to have an all or nothing situation. And the fact that "it happens" is more of a reason to keep an article, not a category. People aren't going to be "aware of" this or "fight against it" because of the category, they'll do so because of the article (although I'm not sure that to "fight against" anti-turkism is a reason to keep either) |

| Category:Arkansas State Indians men's basketball coaches |
keep I seem to recall that when a team name changes, a new category is created but the old one is kept. Because as stated, the only coaches that coached the "Red Wolves" did so since the name change. Personally, I don't understand, as all coaches coached the Arkansas State men's basketball team, regardless of what they were called. Perhaps in the future we can gauge consensus for a rename to remove that name from the category, thus making any name changes irrelevant. But until then, this is how it's done |

Keep separate (do no merge). However, per this discussion, both categories (Category:Artificial satellites orbiting Earth, in particular) should probably be nominated for a rename. (For example, the terms: geocentric, geo-orbital, Earth-orbit, etc.) So this closure should not prevent an immediate nomination for renaming of either of the categories |

| Category:Healthcare in Las Vegas |
rename to Category:Healthcare in Las Vegas, Nevada. First off, having a LV address indeed means nothing. A few years back, I lived on the edge of my town, and the nearest PO was in the next town. So my mailing address had the next town's name and zip code. That said, I checked the four items in this category. Category:Hospitals in Las Vegas, Nevada- not much to argue about there. Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada and Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health both state that they are in or are being built in Las Vegas, Nevada. And finally, Nevada Cancer Institute states it is "in the Summerlin area in Las Vegas". So all articles/categories explicitly state they are in LV, not outside it in the metro area. There is no problem with creating another category called Category:Healthcare in the Las Vegas metropolitan area if articles/categories are found/written that are not in the city but the metro area (to go along with the LV, NV category) |

| Category:Jewish assassins |
delete. As mentioned below and in my close Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_April_14#Category:Jewish_murderers, we don't categorize assassins by religion or ethnicity, but by nationality. Since Jewish is not a nationality, we should either find which nationality these people were, or failing that (or if perhaps they had none), they can be categorized in Category:Assassins with the other assassin articles |
April 17
|
| Category:Jewish murderers |
delete. We have had plenty of Jewish categories kept at CFD due to "Jewish" being considered a religion or ethnicity in each particular case. Since WP doesn't categorize murderers by ethnicity or by religion, just by nationality, the only question is Do we consider "Jewish" to be a nationality? I don't see consensus that Jewish is a nationality (Per Johnbod, we already do, but per Wassermann we do not ("we might as well" = "we don't")), but in reality, any such assertions would likely be considered OR anyway. And looking at the articles, David Berkowitz, Leopold and Loeb, and Jack Ruby, I see that their nationality is American, so they should be categorized in Category:American murderers |

In any case, if some geographic authority (some reliable source) is found which labels these this term, then feel free to WP:DRV in order to allow for assessment of the references, and consensus for eventual restoration.

By renaming, nothing is really hurt except for a few categories which could use some cleanup. For those, if after cleanup a recreation of the old category is needed, the old category can be recreated after a discussion on the new category talk page. As always, editors are free to split as needed. If anyone really believes that any of these should not have been renamed, feel free to renominate as single entries and not in a group nomination. Those with the notes about pruning can be done by any editor with the needed knowledge. Hope this covers everything! Now I need an asprin |

Nothing was tagged for nomination, but from the discussion it is apparent that there is no consensus to standardiZ/Se the spelling across all categories, and probably a consensus to keep things as they are.

No consensus - (And no it wasn't based upon vote-counting.) - The argument that the day technically occurring only once every 4 years may help make this "defining" for the individual, though "weak", is somewhat balanced against the arguments to delete due to not being "defining". What helped in this case to strengthen the "keep" argument, was that the inclusion criteria for the category is not subjective, while application of WP:TRIVIA or WP:OC#TRIVIA can be. So while there may be consensus, based upon past discussions, to not categorise the births on the other 365 days of the year; based upon this discussion, there is currently no consensus regarding births on this specific day |

No consensus - I know I suggested that this could be immediately re-nominated, but I note that nearly every commenter is also a commenter involved on the talk page of the canvasser of the previous discussion. So I think at this point it's probably not possible to discern a true consensus from a nomination at this time. While I came within a hair of closing this as: no consensus, default to delete, per prior community consensus noted at WP:USERCAT/WP:OC/U; I'm going to leave it for now, in the hopes that future consensus can be determined. Again, no prejudice against future nominations, but let's give this a couple weeks at least |

Even if it were allowed to run longer, there is simply no credible prospect of reaching agreement on any course of action. (Non-admin close.) |

| Category:Terrorists |
Delete - The discussion was fairly evenly balanced with good articulate discussion from both sides in this discussion, however there are compelling arguments provided by those wishing for these categories to be deleted, arguments that simply cannot be overlooked. There are several problems described below that are persuasive here - those people currently categorised as terrorists are normally very well categorised anyway, frequently by their cause, political affiliation or proscribed group to which they belong, so I find the argument that by removing the category terrorists, it will make finding articles on terrorists more complicated very strong, but ultimately, there are other, neutral categories that can be used to find terrorists. "Terrorists" can also be categorised under a neutral system if they are indicted or convicted of an offence under a Terrorism law in a specific country, so instead of Category:Terrorists, we could categorise people under something like Category:Persons convicted of Terrorism in the USA etc. Drifting slightly, but terrorism laws in many countries cover many different offences that would not be typically described as terrorism, such as taking a photo of a police officer in certain jurisdictions, so in BLPs, editors should be careful not to describe someone as a terrorist, rather, as someone convicted of an offence under, say, the Terrorism Act, 2008. The most persuasive argument for the deletion however is the absence of a neutral, unbiased, water-tight, non negotiable definition of who or what a terrorist actually is - that raises the spectre of legal action, edit wars, and perhaps as importantly, it makes the encyclopedia inherently biased in favour or against those who see a specific individual as a terrorist, but where they are, or are not categorised as one |

delete as OCAT. Not every intersection of facts needs a category. In addition, while true, this may be defining for the one individual in the category, this is not part of a larger scheme. One-article categories do nothing for finding "like articles". There is nothing to be gained by a one-article category that the sentence "This person is a United States citizen who was in the Holocaust" to the article would achieve. Renaming has the same inherent problems, as we would end up with again, a one-article category |

Delete. The better case was made by those advocating the deletion rather then renaming. From reading the articles for those who are included, the specific term is not used. There are references to the criteria that is being used for inclusion in the category. The fact that there is no main article for the term and the fact that being a Yestonian is not presented as being defining for the individuals supports deletion |
