Category:Main page

[edit]

Decision: Delete.

We do not need a category containing categories linked to from the main page through the category browse bar. Brianjd 12:08, 2004 Nov 29 (UTC)

  • Keep I have no problem with this category. --ssd 13:56, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I can't see any use for this. All it does it creates confusing circular navigation possibilities like: Categories -> Main page -> Wikipedia -> Fundamental -> Categories. jni 13:26, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    I don't think its confusing, but I do think its useless. Brianjd 07:24, 2004 Dec 13 (UTC) (strike Brianjd 09:08, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC))
    Actually, I think that is a confusing, realistic possibility. Brianjd 09:08, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)
  • Delete: useless. —msh210 18:19, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Tentative delete: what useful purpose does this category serve? I can't see any, so I would say delete—but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise. —Tkinias 20:17, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Not only is this category useless, it is also possibly inaccurate (it is easy to check, but that's not a good excuse). Duplication should be avoided wherever possible. Brianjd 08:31, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless it serves some unknown administrative function. It is an almost random collection of links that would require constant maintenance. (subsequently appended signature -Willmcw 22:58, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC))

      • Thanks for catching that -Willmcw 22:58, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
    • You're right. I've just noticed that it is not getting that maintenance. Category:Religion was in the category but not on the browse bar. This appears to be a silly mistake, or perhaps the user forgetting about it after they realised they couldn't edit the browse bar. Category:History and Category:Technology were on the browse bar but not in the category. Both of these appear to be vandalism. These all took some time to be spotted. Brianjd 06:31, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)
  • Cleared, ready for deletion. -- Netoholic @ 02:55, 2005 Jan 10 (UTC)
