Nominator's rationale: There is also a guitarist with the same name, who is just as notable as (if not more than) the pianist. Needed for disambiguation. ANDROS1337TALK18:00, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:Upmerge, category can be recreated when there are enough stubs for this category - we can use the template to do this quickly. עוד מישהוOd Mishehu09:33, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; the nomination is premature as other nominations of Iranian geography stubs have proven to be; there will be dozens of places in this category when it's filled in which is shortly. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:37, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Delete. Only 1 tagged article makes a heavily underpopulated stub category. Upmerge all the templates and delete the category. Dawynn (talk) 13:47, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This cat is hardly undersized. It has 14 articles presently. The purpose of this category is to identify stub articles related to a specific geographical area, which is one of 11 in a larger geographical area. It was created because the parent cat included almost 200 stubs, and it was impossible to readily identify which articles belonged to a specific geographical area, which makes things difficult for editors who are actually maintaining the articles. Rather than create a few cats it was decided to create cats for all 11 areas for consistency. That there are only a few stubs now is actually a good thing, but there are at least 60 other articles yet to be created for this region; history has shown that they are created sporadically and often are created as mere stubs, so the cat has a very definite purpose. It's common practice to keep even small cats (not that this is one of the smaller cats - there are plenty with only 3 or 4 articles) that form part of a larger tree. --AussieLegend (✉) 13:33, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep New categories (2); have not yet been fully populated. Please keep both and give them a chance to demonstrate their usefulness. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 13:19, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Willing to allow for now, although it has been a month and little progress has occurred. Please keep in mind that articles can be tagged with a template even before a category is built. General rule of thumb for stub sorting is to build the template, tag at least 60 articles, *then* build the category. Dawynn (talk) 12:42, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Right now, this category is somewhat of an anomaly — it is a subcategory of Category:People executed by Germany, but does not parallel itself with other similar categories (e.g., Category:People executed by the German Empire, Category:People executed by the Weimar Republic). It appears to try to cover both people executed by the Nazis and people who otherwise died as a result, but if that were the case, there should be a different (sub)category for executions. I think a rename and paring is one option; another option is to add a subcategory that would be just executions. Anyway, I'd like a discussion on this. --Nlu (talk) 05:44, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
'comment. Not all those who died were executed, at least not in the sense I think of that term. Then again, people killed would have to include the millions of russian soldiers who died on the eastern front. This is a problematic category... --Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 16:28, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as is The distinction of which of them were legally executed and which were killed by other means seems trivial for this subject. Dimadick (talk) 15:13, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- "executed" normally refers to a judicial process, but the victims of the holocaust receieved no trial. I see no reason why deaths by wartime military action should not be dealt with under this category, provided that is done thorugh a subcategory. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:40, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Rename If we have an executed category for the Ottoman Empire that perpetrated the first genocide of the 20th-century, we can have one for the Nazis that followed in their footsteps.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:32, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Killed" also covers soldiers & civilians killed in military actions; not just criminal executions and extermination camps. I think that's the major distinction. --Lquilter (talk) 14:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But are we really prepared to categorize people by the opposing side that killed them in a war. Also, do we really know if British soldiers who died fighting in Greece in WWII were killed by Naiz Germany or Facisicst Italy?John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it's problematic to have "manner of death by FOO", but it appears that we have a variety of executed-by / killed-with / dead-by sorts of categories. Honestly I don't like any of the death-by categories. But if we're going to have them, then we should be using the terminology correctly, and killed != executed. If someone wanted to propose to delete them all I could probably be persuaded, since I think people are rarely defined by the manner of their death.
