:'''Nominator's rationale:''' Category was deleted per consensus following a [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2011_December_4#Category:Songs_about_bridges|CfD in December 2011]].

*'''Delete'''. That any of the songs are "about bridges" is questionable because the use of a bridge's name in the title is often incidental. For example, I would say that ''Sous le Pont d'Avignon'' is a song about dancing. I would think that a category like this will invite misuse. It is in fact a category for song titles that include the word ''bridge'' (or ''pont''). [[User:Izzat Kutebar|Izzat Kutebar]] ([[User talk:Izzat Kutebar|talk]]) 21:12, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

* '''Keep''' or '''Move to ''Category:Roman Catholic monasteries in XXX by order'''''. Classification by monastic order makes very much sense, at least for Catholic monasteries and maybe for other faiths as well. It is a defining characteristic. Moving the content, when applicable, to an intersecting subcategory would solve the duplication issue. It would also allow a better categorisation for monasteries which either are not Catholic, or Roman Catholic, or who do not yet have a ''by order'' category created for them.

:'''Strong keep''' -- the scholarship on Blake's acquaintances, and circle of community members is very well established. The roles these folks play are widely variable, because Blake, and his biography, defy a lot of different conventional classification system.

*'''Keep''' Shakespeare is somewhat unique in that there is an almost absurd amount of reliable sources on anything ''associated'' with him (i.e. the "associated" part is the only sane categorization based on the reliable sources). Take [[Ben Jonson]], who would disappear out of the category tree below [[:Category:William Shakespeare]] without the ability to say he is ''associated'' with Shakespeare. Unlike [[William Kempe]], Jonson wasn't a [[:Category:Shakespearean actors]], or a member or sharer in [[:Category:King's Men (playing company)]], and so forth. But every biography of Shakespeare (of which there are an absurd number) will at least mention Jonson in various contexts (influences between the two men's works, in either direction; biographical intersections, social, financial, political; Johnson's contribution to Shakespeare's postumous reputation; and probably a bunch more if you go looking). The same sort of thing will hold for all the other entries in this category that do not obviously fall within the other subcategories ([[Emilia Lanier]], [[Robert Chester (poet)]], and [[Leonard Digges (writer)]] being the three first that jumped out at me). --[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 13:47, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

* I didn't know about [[WP:OCEPON]] at the time. I'd looked at [[:Category:American male writers]] as a whole to see if there is a practice of creating the authors' categories (<small>and then, yep, erroneously added to the newly created category not the "Writers" but its subcategory [[:Category:American male novelists|American male novelists]]</small>). According to WP:OCEPON: ''"Eponymous categories named after people should not be created unless enough directly related articles or '''subcategories''' exist"''. I suppose that the categories mentioning the person in their names are related to them pretty directly. However, if two subcategories is not enough, I don't object to the deletion. --[[User:INS Pirat|INS Pirat]] ([[User talk:INS Pirat|talk]]) 12:15, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

* '''Procedural comment''': I had closed this discussion as 'no consensus' but re-opened it per [[User_talk:Marcocapelle#Closing_Categories_for_Discussion|this request]]. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 21:35, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
* '''Rename'''. [[User:ansh666]]'s concern is misplaced, as most links can be updated with a single edit to [[Template:CSD-categories]]. Editors with the category on their watchlist should see its deletion on their watchlist, and be able to find a link to this discussion in order to watch the new name. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 21:39, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
