Nominator's rationale:Delete. Currently a single entry category with growth potential. It seems that some editors are including in geography articles what would be a table of intersections like we have on roads. This table names features that intersect with the river and provides their geo coordinates. I personally don't see this as defining. I see this material more as a travel guide for explorers then being encyclopedic. Clearly the category is not defining for the articles that could be included. In fact having the category makes the article information more WP:TRAVEL. So lets see if there is any consensus to keep. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:47, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overcat. The same editor created an article and cat with this title. There are two titles in the cat, both stubs - the article Freemasonry in Sri Lanka is one paragraph and has one source, and is a direct duplicate of material in Freemasonry in Asia#Sri Lanka (also added by the same editor). The other article in the cat is on a building, and has two lines in it. Two stubs do not need a cat, and since one will probably be redirected if not expanded, one stub definitely does not need a cat. MSJapan (talk) 15:56, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Rename. While there is still some debate about whether "Former" or "Defunct" should be used (and either will do here, though the overwhelming majority of similar cats use "defunct", by a factor of 70 to 4), whichever adjective is used needs to go before the sport name! Grutness...wha? 01:18, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Only in the same sense that talking about "railway tracks" is redundant. Speedway is the usual name for the sport - it also refers to one type of racing venue; speedway (the sport) may be raced on specific oval speedway tracks (sometimes, but not that commonly, known as speedways) or on street or road circuits. Category:Speedway venues includes both dedicated ovals and to temporary or permanent street or road circuits, so the current naming scheme is more all-encompassing. It is a little confusing, but much less so that simply referring to speedway (the sport) and speedways (the venues). Grutness...wha? 11:59, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
