:* '''Propose deleting''' {{lc|Unknown origin craters}}<br />

:'''Nominator's rationale:''' [[WP:SMALLCAT|small category]] and [[WP:OCMISC|miscellaneous category]]. This is not eligible for speedy deletion because I already emptied it out of process while cleaning up various categories into impact, volcanic or explosion craters, which avoids recurring confusion around unspecified "craters". See also the [[Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_August_22#Category:Craters|2009 mass-renaming CfR of crater-related categories]] which I was the nominator for, which was the first time this kind of crater category cleanup was done. (Do I need to write an essay on categorization of craters?) [[User:Ikluft|Ikluft]] ([[User talk:Ikluft|talk]]) 05:04, 2 November 2019 (UTC)

::::: I understand you're trying to act in [[WP:AGF|good faith]] but you are actually promoting confusion from a point of misinterpretation. Of the articles you listed, [[Patomskiy crater]] uses the term crater colloquially; but of its 2 references, one speculates about UFOs and the other says a meteoric origin was disproven, leading to questions whether the article even qualifies for [[WP:N]]. [[Eden Patera]] is satisfactorily categorized in [[:Category:Surface features of Mars]] until reliable sources sort out if it's from volcanic or impact origin. The article called [[crater]] is a disambiguation page, leaving no official [[WP:DEFINING]] characteristic for the category to stand on, except also as a disambiguation. The English dictionary ([https://www.dictionary.com/browse/crater?s=t], [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crater]) only supports impact, volcanic and explosion craters. ''Anything else is not a crater.'' Please stop promoting the recurring confusion over this topic. It has been solved already and needs to not re-emerge.

::::: One benefit to result from this discussion - I took this to indicate the question will easily resurface if not answered plainly up front, and added the dictionary definition of a crater, requiring it be caused by some kind of explosion, to the [[User:Ikluft/essay/Categorization_of_craters|"Categorization_of_craters" essay]].
