==== Category:Ontario communities with large francophone populations ====

:* '''Propose deleting''' [[:Category:Ontario communities with large francophone populations]] - {{lc1|Ontario communities with large francophone populations}}<br />

:'''Nominator's rationale:''' Category with arbitrary and poorly defined inclusion criteria. While there is a [[List of francophone communities in Ontario]], which basically lists every community in the province whose francophone population exceeds the provincial average of 4.1 per cent, that list does not correspond to what's been selected for inclusion here -- this category does have partial overlap with the list, but randomly excludes some places that appear in the list and randomly includes some places that don't: there are things here that are ''census divisions'' rather than ''communities'', there are unincorporated communities for which there's no demographic data in existence for us to properly [[WP:V|verify]] whether the size of its francophone community is "large" or not --, and the two major cities in the category, Ottawa and Sudbury, each double-dip by also applying the category to Orleans and Rayside-Balfour, sub-municipal neighbourhoods ''within'' each city. So the inclusion criteria are random and arbitrary to begin with, before you take into account that it's also mixing in things whose inclusion is impossible to properly verify and/or which don't belong in a category for "communities" at all -- all of which is a recipe for "this shouldn't exist in this form".

* Agree with nominator that there are no clear inclusion criteria. '''Delete''' (or if kept '''rename''' to [[:Category:Ontario districts and municipalities of the French Language Services Act]] and '''purge''').
