The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:28, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: Fails WP:USERCAT for lacking any discernible collaborative function - meaningless since every Wikipedia is a volunteer by virtue of editing Wikipedia. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:08, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:31, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete Since contributing to Wikipedia is unpaid this is a truism. All Wikiprledians volunteer in contributing to Wikipedia.many volunteer in other ways (I do) but those can be so different it has little meaning. It clear is not a category that aids building the encyclopedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:19, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. UnilandofmaTalk 11:07, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename: Rename Category:Wikipedians who volunteer as Category:Community volunteer Wikipedians. This category is intended to distinguish from Category:Wikipedians by profession. There are a substantial number of Wikipedians in this category. This adds another avenue for collaboration. Yours aye,  Buaidh  talk e-mail 18:20, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
  • There are a substantial number of Wikipedians in this category, but did they really understand it as community volunteering? Besides, community volunteering is so broad that it can't really contribute to collaboration. At least you would need to know the field of volunteering. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:02, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
  • This is a general category which can be broken down further in the future. Yours aye,  Buaidh  talk e-mail 13:30, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment if we change the scope the contents will need to change. I still do not see the benefit with the changed scope.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:57, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. A Nonsense category IMHO. -- Just N. (talk) 23:12, 26 March 2026 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: delete (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 16:49, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Propose deleting Category:Aviation accidents and incidents involving the Piper Aerostar (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Nominator's rationale: harmless and WP:CHEAP, but the topic is adequately covered by Piper Aerostar#Accidents and incidents. Accidents involving small general aviation aircraft typically fail WP:GNG, so very few accidents rate a standalone article, resulting in a small category that is unlikely to grow, particularly considering that the Aerostar is uncommon, was discontinued in 1984, and is unlikely to be reintroduced.

The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 16:49, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: These two categories are for the same thing. TipsyElephant (talk) 11:00, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment: As the creator of the category, I don't have a strong attachment to it. I created it to further diffuse Category:Investigative journalism, so I would like to see some sort of distinction/diffusion be made, but it doesn't have to be this specific category. :)
ForsythiaJo (talk) 21:33, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge, while it is probably meant to be a subgenre of documentary podcasts the difference is not very clear. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:38, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT. ...the difference is not very clear. Indeed. Most documentaries are investigative by definition. Carguychris (talk) 14:08, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Nominator's rationale: For consistency with the other categories in Category:Association football mass media. TipsyElephant (talk) 10:49, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename per WP:C2C, this could have been listed at speedy. Marcocapelle (talk) 11:40, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Rename. There is only one American soccer entry, and an American redirect. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:17, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Category:Spotify podcasts

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: rename (non-admin closure). GoldRomean (talk) 05:10, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
Nominator's rationale: The current name is too ambiguous. What is a "Spotify podcast"? Any podcast available of Spotify? If so, that's NOTDEFINING. Most podcasts are available on Spotify and dozens of other podcast platforms. Rename to Category:Spotify exclusive podcasts or Category:Spotify studio podcasts. TipsyElephant (talk) 02:24, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Support I understand the confusion there. I think renaming to Category:Spotify exclusive podcasts as Spotify doesn't have their own studios from what I know. Makes more sense. That being said, neither really make sense as the podcasts are no longer exclusive to Spotify. Spotify just owns them. Dresq23 (talk) 05:51, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
