:* '''Propose renaming''' [[:Category:Tribal societies that have practiced cannibalism]] to [[:Category:Societies that have practiced cannibalism]]
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' This category seems to collect together exclusively non-European, mostly indigenous societies that have practiced cannibalism (or allegedly practiced cannibalism) at some point in their history. I think the term "tribal" carries a loaded, pejorative, stigmatizing connotation in this context and thus the word should be removed. Personally, I think the category should be deleted altogether and turned into an article or list, but that suggestion was voted down in 2008, so that's a debate for another time.

*'''Delete''' One issue that will come up is how to distinguish those who practiced ritual eating of cetain organs of powerful enemies with those who practiced full scale eating of other people. Add to this theories that some of the cannibalism in some south Pacific societies happened as a result of over population, and the fact that tribal practices change over time without the tribes themselves always vanishing, this is just not a good category. It might work as a nuanced list, but not a category.[[User:Johnpacklambert|John Pack Lambert]] ([[User talk:Johnpacklambert|talk]]) 07:12, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

:* '''Propose deleting''' [[:Category:Scientific racism]]<br />
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' This is a biased, pejorative term that serves no purpose in this encyclopedia except Marxist-Lysenkoist far-left POV pushing. Science is and has always been a detached and objective pursuit and does not and has never included any component of racial hatred that would ratify its putative status as "racism". I find particularly perturbing the category's characterization as "pseudoscience" (always a term to use with caution) and "obsolete theories". Clearly, the category is populated with enough "scientific racists" who believe in "scientific racism" as to render their enterprise as something other than "obsolete". '''Delete'''.

*'''Keep''' I agree with others that there may be cases where the category is misapplied, but the existence of "scientific racism" as a distinct scientific tradition is [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9781118430873.est0324 well-documented]. The nominator's rationale seems to misunderstand the definition of the term scientific racism.

*'''Keep, purge biographies''' This category is similar in my opinion to [[:Category:Misogyny]], where the hatnote reads {{green| It must not include articles about individuals, groups or media that are allegedly misogynist.}}, with a link to [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2011 February 9#Bias categories]]. (The other categories listed in that discussion should probably be winnowed again as well.)

:'''Nominator's rationale:''' This recently created category is redundant to [[:Category:Transgender and transsexual women]] and/or [[:Category:Trans women]]. (Please note that it contains only two items at present, both of which are also in the "transgender and transsexual women" category.)

* '''Support''' per nom. We should strongly consider ''moving'' "Transgender and transsexual women" to just "transgender women", per the evolution in best-practices terminology for writing about trans issues that's taken place since the existing category was first created, but creating the desired term as a ''duplicate'' of the existing category, without actually doing anything about the existing category at all, is not the way to go about making that happen.

* '''merge somehow''' we do not need multiple categories for such people, unless there can be a clear distinction between people into different categories. [[User:Peterkingiron|Peterkingiron]] ([[User talk:Peterkingiron|talk]]) 18:10, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
