Merge and delete per nom, as long as that doesn't imply they are kids (it's a weight measurement, right?). -Splash 17:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Should be simply Category:Sufis, as it is implied that if they have articles they are famous. - SimonP 03:41, July 20, 2005 (UTC)

Rename per nom; don't include notability claims in category titles. -Splash 17:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
As an aside, should we stick List of famous Sufis up on VFD as it's redundant with the category? Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 00:15, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

Is this a joke? Delete. Gamaliel 03:35, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I fear it is not a joke, much like the CfD below. -Splash 17:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think this violates the "Can you write a few paragraphs about it?" and "Is it obvious why this category is there?" guidleines on Wikipedia:Categorization. What's next? "Category:Actors who have co-starred with Kermit the Frog"? "Category:Smurfs with multisyllabic names"? BrianSmithson 02:43, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Too narrow and not useful for general category structure. Aww, I really wanted to know who acted with Kermit :( ∞Who ?¿? 03:13, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but that's hilarious. -Splash 17:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. Pavel Vozenilek 22:41, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I think this would make a great list article; it would definitely make Wikipedia:Unusual articles. But delete as a category. I'm also surprised to find out that The Nightmare Before Christmas is a fictional character. Postdlf 17:39, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We already have Category:Architecture by country. Eliot 01:26, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed Please see relevant categories mentioned by nom. This is a contintental category, with one child already cat'd in Category:Architecture by country. should be deleted. ∞Who ?¿? 03:10, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, the cited cat appears to show that architecture is cat'd by country (for a discussion of how to name country-related cats, please see Wikipedia:Category titles, rather than discussing it here). -Splash 17:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep--there definitely can or will be a group of articles relating only to South Asian architecture; the country-articles or country-cats can still be members of Category:Architecture by country ~ Dpr 22:48, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, categorize by country, not by continent. R adiant _>|< 08:36, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
Delete as per nom. --Kbdank71 14:06, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
COMMENT if South Asia is considered as a cultural definition, then it should be allowable, as architecture is influenced by culture. Ofcourse, examples of architecture in such a category needs to be culturally identifiable, and not just geographically placed 132.205.44.43 14:57, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Ancient architecture are not bounded by the present-day political boundaries (which are relatively young in this part of the world), but culture. Articles on such topic can be placed in this category. — Insta ntnood 15:20, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
