:* Propose deleting {{lc|WOW air}}

:Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT with only four entries and little likelihood of expansion. :WOW air folded in 2019, there has been no news about the (reportedly unfunded) revival attempt for several years now, and this short-lived airline is not a likely topic for extensive historical scholarship in the future. Carguychris (talk) 21:57, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

::{{yo|Carguychris}} WP:SMALLCAT is no longer a guideline. Not sure if that affects your rationale? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:05, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:::I think I am going to formally support this nomination. Of the contents, it is (imo) debatable whether Iceland Express belongs in the category, though I think it does. Keflavík International Airport definitely does not; the seven-year run as a hub is not DEFINING for a 82-year-old airport (WOW gets a single mention in the article). That leaves us with three pages in the category, I don't think that supports a WP:EPONCAT. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:20, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

• support The airline that was supposedly supposed to use assets fom WOW air and run by Michele Roosevelt Edwards was disclosed to be a scam by local Icelandic media and republished by several American talk show hosts at the time. WOW air is not coming back.--Snævar (talk) 18:01, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose renaming :Category:Spanish people of Syrian-Assyrian descent to :Category:Spanish people of Assyrian descent

:Nominator's rationale: Just like with the Argentinian Assyrian category, only one person included and they are not from the country of Syria Surayeproject3 (talk) 20:03, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

• Just delete, the only article is simply about an Assyrian person, not about someone of Assyrian descent. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:14, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
• :{{yo|Surayeproject3}} Thoughts on just deleting? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:00, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
• ::@HouseBlaster I have no problems with that. If an article is found or created that would fit the description, it can just be remade again. Surayeproject3 (talk) 16:43, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party politician stubs to :Category:Bharatiya Janata Party politician stubs

:Nominator's rationale: Underpopulated stub category, with no evidence of approval by Wikiproject Stub sorting. As always, stub categories are not free for just any user to create on a whim -- the minimum bar for the creation of a stub category is 60 articles, so stub categories have to be proposed to the Wikiproject for approval. But there are just 22 articles here, and absolutely no evidence that the creator followed the proper process.
It's worth noting that the stub template has already existed since 2020, and was filing its entries in the target {{cl|Bharatiya Janata Party politician stubs}} until being modified in the past week to use this category instead -- and while some Indian states do have their own state-level subcategories of that, they're all over the 60 bar, and many more Indian states don't have their own state-level subcategories of the parent.
To be fair, the undifferentiated {{tl|BJP-politician-stub}} is still on enough people that I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody can find evidence that at least 38 of them can be transferred here to get it over the bar -- but 22 articles isn't enough to warrant a dedicated subcategory here. Bearcat (talk) 15:44, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Shearling (band) albums}}

:Nominator's rationale: Band albums category created solely to hold a single redirect that doesn't even actually lead to a standalone article about the band that recorded this album, but to a subsection in an article about the predecessor band that the band members were in before forming the band that recorded this album. And further, the album was just released today, so while it may attain sufficient notability in the future to pass WP:NALBUMS, that isn't already a foregone conclusion yet as of right now.
Redirects can be categorized where appropriate and useful, but there's no rule that redirects always have to have categories on them the same way that articles do, so we don't automatically need this just because the redirect exists either.
So no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when the album or the band actually pass WP:NMUSIC, but we don't need this just to hold a single redirect to an ancestor band. Bearcat (talk) 15:31, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:00, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, debatable notability, also a WP:SMALLCAT with little likelihood of future expansion. Carguychris (talk) 16:51, 2 May 2025 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Well said. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 03:43, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Stagedoor Manor alumni}}

:Nominator's rationale: Non-defining category for alumni of a youth summer camp. As always, we categorize people by their defining characteristics, not by every possible fact about their lives -- but these people are notable as actors, singers or filmmakers, not as alumni of a youth arts training program per se. Bearcat (talk) 15:23, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

::I recommend keeping it as a category because the program has so many famous and celebrated alumni, not unlike a university or other prestigious program! Mahalowallow (talk) 01:21, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

:::That's not justification for a category. Categories are not just lists, and are not created for just any characteristic you want to create a list of — we categorize people by their defining characteristics. If and when Robert Downey Jr. dies, for example, the headline on his obituary is going to be "Actor Robert Downey Jr. dies", not "Stagedoor Manor alumnus Robert Downey Jr. dies" — so "actor" is a defining characteristic of his notability, while Stagedoor Manor is not. Bearcat (talk) 16:56, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete - non-defining. --Altenmann >talk 01:49, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
