Nominator's rationale: No society of this university passes notability guidelines, and the category will never get enough entries to be valid. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:41, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural Oppose for Now This nomination presupposes the outcome of multiple AfD discussions for the articles currently in the category. (If the articles are both deleted then, by all means, Speedy per WP:C1. RevelationDirect (talk) 21:07, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The two articles within this category will be deleted, and even if they weren't this is a WP:SMALLCAT. Neutralitytalk 01:04, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge to Category:Aligarh Muslim University. This is procesurally simpler. If the club articles are indeed deleted, the effect will be as nom wanted. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:24, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without prejudice to recreate. We cannot know if any societies and clubs will become notable in the future.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:55, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Merge. Denham Studios and Denham Film Studios refer to the same studio. One is a redirect of the other. All the films from this one studio belong in a single category. Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 06:15, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 11:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. 114 entries and not one article. As a reader, I find this type of categorization completely frustrating as it offers no pertinent navigational benefit. Basically, it's just a subdivision of the more useful Category:Saves the Day albums. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:37, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/ Per WP:OVERLAPCAT I agree that non-administrative redirect-only categories do not aid navigation. In this case, the category recreates Category:Saves the Day albums but with song redirects to the same albums.RevelationDirect (talk) 21:22, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There are a *lot* of redirect only categories in the Category:Roads tree. I do wonder if a guideline in WP:OC might be helpful for categorizing redirects. RevelationDirect (talk) 21:22, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. A category with no articles is a misnomer. Perhaps this should have been an article? List of songs recorded by Saves the Day - which could tabulate writers, where recorded, instrumentation, year of recording, release, live performances etc etc etc. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:05, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 19:20, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete. Overcategorization per WP:OCEPON. The subcategories in here should be sufficient with cross navigation. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:31, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
