Delete as it is an unnecessary category and it's a category bloat. BattleshipMan (talk) 05:13, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Marvel Cinematic Universe film actors. As a category it would contradict WP:PERFCAT as categorizing actors by (arbitrary) performance, and as an article it would likely fail notability as trivial spin-off, or largely duplicate the list. --Animalparty!

Question This isn't even a category like it claims, shouldn't it be speedy deleted?★Trekker (talk) 09:16, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's in Article space, even if accidental, so we should treat it as an article (versus WP:CFD). It's a plausible search term for an existing list article, so a redirect is warranted per alternatives to deletion. --Animalparty! (talk) 18:49, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Speedy delete as per WP:G6, as a page unambiguously created in the incorrect namespace (an intended category created as an article). This should have probably used the speedy deletion procedure instead. Impru20^talk 18:53, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
