:* '''Propose deleting''' {{lc|Health care companies by millennium of establishment}}<br />
:* '''Propose deleting''' {{lc|Health care companies established in the 3rd millennium}}<br />
:* '''Propose deleting''' {{lc|Health care companies established in the 2nd millennium}}<br />
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' Not enough Health care companies to categorise by millennium. Only 3 centuries populated, the earliest 1886. [[User:Rathfelder|Rathfelder]] ([[User talk:Rathfelder|talk]]) 23:01, 6 June 2019 (UTC) *'''Delete All''', for sure. Holy %@#&! Do you have any idea what you've ''unearthed'' here, Rathfelder?? There are 100s if not 1000s of these '''Categories by millennium''' - most of which have only 2 subcategories. It's like one of those horror movies where there's a toe sticking out of the ground -- with a whole cemetery's worth of dead bodies buried a little deeper....
:And many of those 1st millennium subcats are dubious at best. For example, have a look at [[:Category:Shopping malls by millennium of establishment]]. (Yes, "Shopping malls".) A whole slew of ridiculous nested categories were created -- all for the single article about... wait for it... [[Trajan's Market]] -- apparently the first-ever "Shopping mall". [[User:Anomalous+0|Anomalous+0]] ([[User talk:Anomalous+0|talk]]) 11:10, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' I think we should be sparing with "by millennium" categories, and limit it to topics where the categories before the 2nd millennium can be reasonably well populated. --[[User:BDD|BDD]] ([[User talk:BDD|talk]]) 16:18, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' Would agree with pruning the "by millennium" categories if it applies to all of them. But there are c24 different company categories (including healthcare companies) in [[:Category:Companies by millennium of establishment]]; and [[Trajan's Market]] (a "shopping mall" ?) was established in 113 AD! <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Hugo999|Hugo999]] ([[User talk:Hugo999#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Hugo999|contribs]]) </small>
*'''Delete''' -- Millennium categories are a waste of space and should be removed wholesale. We do not need anything longer than centuries ever. [[User:Peterkingiron|Peterkingiron]] ([[User talk:Peterkingiron|talk]]) 16:50, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

:* '''Propose further subdividing''' [[:Category:Magic: The Gathering players]]
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' This is a true "Categories for ''discussion''", as I don't advocate deletion. I was going to create [[:Category:Japanese Magic: The Gathering players]], since there's already a [[:Category:American Magic: The Gathering players]] and enough people in the main category to support a Japanese category (probably some other nationalities too, though I haven't gotten that far). I hesitated when I saw a Japanese category had previously been deleted. The [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 June 11#Category:German Magic: The Gathering players|CfD]] only mentioned a German category, but I assume multiple categories were deleted (interestingly enough, not the American category).
:I'm probably being overly cautious, given the age of the discussion. I'd like to proceed with further subcats for [[:Category:Magic: The Gathering players]]. --[[User:BDD|BDD]] ([[User talk:BDD|talk]]) 17:15, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
