Deletion requests

Date of request

December 5, 2024

[edit]

Unused in a news or documentation and was previously marked for speedy deletion. "Stale or not news" is not a valid deletion reason here by the looks of it. I could not confirm it is copyvio. Can you confirm or transfer to commons? Gryllida (talk) 06:53, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've requested speedy deletion for these two files, as well as the subject of the next request, since as pointed out below, they lack licensing information and therefore contravene the fair use policy, which is one of the CSD. Heavy Water (talk) 00:14, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NurMi spam

All of these articles appear to be largely incoherent (probably machine translated) spam. Omphalographer (talk) 00:50, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Thanks @Omphalographer and @Pitille02. Gryllida (talk) 05:03, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Overly broad. There was near-unanimous agreement in 2018 on the talk page this cat is not suitable as-is.

There, Pi stated something, in fact, I've long thought of this cat: "Few articles get added to this category for much the same reason few get added to Category:World: if interpreted in a simplistic way they would be so absurdly inclusive that they would be useless, so the only way there's any point to populating them at all is they're given some narrower interpretation — but the name of the category gives no obvious support to any narrower interpretation, leaving it up to individuals to occasionally put things here as it's not clear what else to do with them."

I see this as an unsuitable sort of union of a few cats: Women's rights, e.g. Arizona bans abortion for genetic abnormalities, the Wikimedia gender gap, e.g. Wikimedian Cindy Ashley-Nelson dies at conference in Berlin, and, as discussed on the talk, some as-yet nonexistent third cat for articles like Qatar appoints four women to its law-drafting Shura Council which don't exactly relate to women's rights but are more "women breaking glass ceilings". I'm unsure what we should call the hypothetical third cat — perhaps "Gender politics" (in the spirit of Category:Gun politics) — but I think it should replace this one.
