The result of the discussion was: speedy delete under WP:G7. – Fayenatic London 18:50, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Delete woefully underpopulated category that is WP:NOTDEFINING for any of its members (or potential members). UnitedStatesian (talk) 18:37, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: I created that category. After reading WP:NOTDEFINING I believe I created the category in error. It might make more sense for me to create a list page instead, and will consider doing so when I have time to make a reasonably-lengthed list. That said, I'm not sure about Wikipedia procedures. Is my choosing not to defend the category enough to delete that category or can I just go ahead and delete it myself since I added it and nobody has updated it? (That said, I believe under-population is not a reason for deletion since other editors can add to it; a valid reason for deletion is that the category doesn't meet Wikipedia practices for categories.)

The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 16:01, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The Salem Tigers football program was discontinued after the 1988 season when the school was known as "Salem College". Jweiss11 (talk) 15:59, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, but I would keep the current cats as soft redirects to the new ones to help readers who may not be aware of the history. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:09, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
UnitedStatesian. I think an explanatory note on the categories once moved might be more helpful. The school is now known as Salem University. It was "Salem International University" from 2000 to 2017. So Category:Salem International Tigers and all of its other subcats should be moved as well to remove "International". Jweiss11 (talk) 21:37, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. If there was no program as Salem International, we should use the name for the program at the time it existed. Cbl62 (talk) 21:29, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

UnitedStatesian, Cbl62 I have made another nomination for the non-football Salem Tigers categories; see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 July 26#Salem Tigers. Jweiss11 (talk) 17:37, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:11, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Misnamed anyway, should be Fancy (singer) in line with the only member and single sub-cat. Not enough to warrant an eponymous cat. Richhoncho (talk) 07:18, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
