The result of the discussion was: procedural close – wrong forum. I see the category has already been deleted per C1; any further requests to delete categories should be raised at CfD. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:57, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Category talk:Iranian Yazidis (edit | subject | history | links | watch | logs)

No Yazidis live in Iran so this category is not needed Semsûrî (talk) 11:49, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong forum. To delete a category, take the category page to WP:CfD. For this one, leave it for WP:CSD#C1. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:11, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I added the template, thanks for the help. --Semsûrî (talk) 12:19, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone disagrees, take the category page to CfD. SmokeyJoe (talk) 12:39, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - This is an error that we occasionally see at MFD where someone clicks the Twinkle XFD button while they are on a talk page. Sometimes they are on an article talk page and trying to nominate the article for deletion. It brings them to MFD because MFD is the correct venue for a request to delete a talk page, but they aren't trying to delete a talk page. It isn't exactly that they are in the wrong forum, but that they have selected the wrong page. The error is harmless enough that it should be dealt with by explaining it to the nominator, as we are doing. Any way to try to deal with it in Twinkle would be more complicated and might have other problems also. Just an observation. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:35, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
