==== Category:Wikipedians with iPhones ====

:[[:Category:Wikipedians with iPhones]] - {{lc1|Wikipedians with iPhones}}<br />

:'''Nominator's rationale:''' {{{3|Phenomenally a vanity category, somewhat élitist and utterly useless to the project. Sorry!

*Moved here as suggested above. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 10:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

====[[:Category:Wikipedians_by_alma_mater]]====

[[WP:NOT#MYSPACE]], serves no collaborative purpose. <span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">^</span>[[User:^demon|<span style="color:black;font-weight:bold;">demon</span>]]^{[[User_talk:^demon|<span style="color:red">[omg plz]</span>]]}&nbsp;<em style="font-size:10px;">11:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)</em>

*'''Keep''' - The mere fact that a number of Wikipedians feel it is meaningful to list themselves this way is its own justification. Non-encyc pages should be almost purely unregulated; encyc pages should be tightly controlled. Any ''Delete'' votes on this page are from people trying to pass edicts in the wrong space. [[User:JDG|JDG]] 22:21, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep''', it is actually to store all of the alma mater categories into one main family. - [[User:Presidentman|Presidentman]] 11:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''. Serves as a parent category to hundreds/thousands of useful categories. These are incredibly useful for collaboration on school and university articles and I myself have used them in the past for collaboration. --- [[User:RockMFR|RockMFR]] 18:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep.''' Serves as basic information about a user, allowing collaboration on an obvious subject.--[[User:Mike Selinker|Mike Selinker]] 01:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep''' per JDG and RockMFR. [[User:JRG|JRG]] 03:19, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

*'''Strong keep''' per all of the above. It quite clearly does provide a basis for collaboration. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] 09:15, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

==== [[:Category:Wikipedians who like manga]] & [[:Category:Wikipedians who like anime]] ====

[[WP:MYSPACE]] No collaborative purpose. Baring that, merge into [[:Category:Wikipedians interested in anime and manga]]. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] 01:53, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' per your alternate suggestion. [[User:Bladestorm|Bladestorm]] 02:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Merge'''. '''''[[User:Bibliomaniac15|<font color="black">bibliomaniac</font>]][[User talk:Bibliomaniac15|<font color="red">1</font><font color="blue">5</font>]]''''' ^{[[User:Bibliomaniac15/Enlarge your edit count|BUY NOW!]]} 03:00, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Merge''' - interested in, yes. Ambiguous "like", notso much. --[[User:Haemo|Haemo]] 08:17, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Merge''', as per nom. [[User:Horologium|Horologium]] <small>[[User talk:Horologium|t]]-[[Special:contributions/Horologium|c]]</small> 20:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*I'm not quite sure why we should merge Wikipedians who have simply stated in a userbox that they watch/read anime/manga into the category for Wikipedians that collaborate on these articles, when they have added themselves by their own choice. When someone goes searching for help in a user category, it would be useful if they actually found someone who works in the articles, and these people are not necessarily that. This would dilute [[:Category:Wikipedians interested in anime and manga]]'s usefulness. Better to '''delete''' outright and allow the original members to add themselves to the "interested" category of their own accord. [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]]·[[User talk:Dmcdevit|t]] 01:30, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

:It would seem that a large majority of users under "interested" are also under the other two categories. That mixed with Dmcdevit's comments leads me to believe that deletion would be the best option. -- [[User:Jelly Soup|Jelly Soup]] 01:33, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per the next above. --[[User:Haemo|Haemo]] 08:19, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' this would nearly include all American Wikipedians by default, as Americans can visit a different state anytime they go on the interstate or U.S. Highway system. - [[User:Presidentman|Presidentman]] 11:22, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:VegaDark|VegaDark]] ([[User talk:VegaDark|talk]]) 04:08, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' - the category "Wikipedian qualified to have a useful opinion on the subject" is probably about as populated as this one; and I doubt there's any overlap. --[[User:Haemo|Haemo]] 08:19, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

There are a lot of LGBT sub-cultures that don't have much in common except for their sexual orientation, and a [[Lipstick lesbian]] is most likely not going to be able to contribute much to a discussion about the [[Bear Community]] (to choose two wildly divergent and currently extant subcats).

*'''Keep''' this and all other categories of this sort except the empty one and the ones with only one user. This is a rampant paternalism. Adding up the number of people who have spoken for deletion, its about 10. Adding up the people who use these categories, is probably about 10,000. It is of course possible for all 10 thousand to be wrong and the ten to be right. But I think users determine what categories they think useful. Action here is only needed about particular tones that are actually divisive or otherwise disruptive. The people who decided what's encyclopedic are the editors in general by consensus, and they have clearly decide. The consensus is a thousand to one against.

*Skepticism is quite relevant to encyclopedia building, as we need readers and editors who do not take content at face value. There are [[:Category:Skepticism|many]] articles for them to collaborate on. Although I'm skeptical of the likelihood of any substantial collaboration, the potential should not be eliminated merely by the above arguments. Wikipedia is not MySpace, but Wikipedia is still a community. There's [[WP:AGF|no evidence]] that the category is being used for MySpace-y purposes. –[[User talk:Pomte|Pomte]] 06:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

**Indeed there is evidence. Editors interested in collaborating on skepticism-related articles, a good thing, should populate [[:Category:WikiProject Rational Skepticism members]]. Instead, this category is populated by uerboxes like [[User:One/Userboxes/User skeptic]], which do not express interest in collaborating, which is easily done with {{tl|User WikiProject Rational Skepticism}}, it expresses a user's personal opinion, skepticism. That is what is Myspacey, and inappropriate, about it. [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]]·[[User talk:Dmcdevit|t]] 06:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

***Then it seems the userbox should be deleted as well as the category that comes along with it. Skepticism is not an opinion, and editors are encouraged to put forth their (rational) opinions anyway, especially if it's relevant in some way to the encyclopedia. The users not in the WikiProject should be notified of it if this is deleted. –[[User talk:Pomte|Pomte]] 08:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

==== [[:Category:Wikipedians who don't wish to become administrators]] ====

This category is either pointless or divisive. Interpreted simply as a harmless expression of one's lack of desire to be a sysop, the category is unnecessary as it is possible to express that position through the userbox. I can understand the existence of a category for [[:Category:Wikipedia administrator hopefuls|administrator hopefuls]] seeking advice or nominations, but why would anyone look through a category of people who ''don't'' want to be admins? The userbox may be a quick way of preempting nomination offers, but the category itself has no value. The category can also be interpreted as a divisive statement against the role of admins and/or against administrators themselves.

I think the former (innocent but useless) is the more likely of the two, especially since most (if not all) editors in the category were placed there automatically by a template. However, in either case, I think the category ought to be deleted.

As for the argument that the userbox works just as well, some people don't like userboxes.

Wikipedia is [[WP:NOT|not]] a [[language school]]. The desire to learn more languages is commendable, but it does not aid encyclopedic collaboration in any way. It does not imply any knowledge of any non-English languages nor does it specify an interest in any particular language. Furthermore, the category is basically redundant to existing low-level (i.e., level 0 or 1) Babel categories.

The subcategories were recently considered for deletion (but not the parent category) and the discussion ended with a decision to "merge" (see [[Wikipedia:User categories for discussion/Archive/May 2007#Category:User ot|here]]). However, I think the main category itself is unnecessary.

****To be specific I don't see myself as in a wheelchair, but I do use one. (At home I crawl, scoot, or roll, but that is usually too slow to go long distance.) There are certain brands of electric wheelchair that I'd have studies or information packets on, but that the average person may not. I'm not sure an article on the Turbo or Per-Mobil is desired, but if it were I might have more information at my place than most people would.--[[User:T. Anthony|T.

Wikipedia is [[WP:NOT#SOCIALNET|not a social networking site]]. Per [[WP:NOT#SOCIALNET|current policy]], non-article pages should be targeted toward the organisation or improvement of articles or to the provision of "a foundation for effective collaboration". User categories are appropriate only if they further collaboration; this one does not.

*'''Weak Keep''' This one, unlike most of the others, actually has some potential for collaboration. In fact, the article to which it is linked is currently tagged as being America-centric. Someone interested in improving that article could look for someone elsewhere (Germany, Belgium and Australia pop into my head immediately) and see if they are willing to work on expanding the article.

:{{lc|Single Wikipedians}}

This nomination also includes: {{lc|Married Wikipedians}}

Per [[WP:NOT#SOCIALNET|current policy]], all non-article pages should be targeted toward the organisation or improvement of articles or to the provision of "a foundation for effective collaboration". Pages in userspace are (rightly) given significant leeway on this matter, but these pages are in the category namespace. These categories are so broad as to render them useless for the purpose of furthering collaboration. There is no subject that single people can inherently contribute about that married people can't, and vice versa.

Both articles were nominated for deletion in June 2006; the nominations were closed as "no consensus": see [[Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 June 4#Category:Single Wikipedians|here]] and [[Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 June 7#Category:Married Wikipedians|here]].

Note: Most of the users in these categories are there because they use one of at least six userboxes. ''The userboxes are NOT the subject of this deletion nomination.''
