Nominator's rationale: The criterion of a minimum buy-in of $1000 (apparently for tournaments, though not explicitly stated) is totally arbitrary. Afaik, there is no official definition of "midstakes".

I missed "and rename". But renaming isn't an option either, the proposed name suffers equally bad from
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT.

Another problem is that players go up and down levels with some frequency.

Delete per nom. Moreover, breaking
Category:Poker players in this way probably makes it harder, not easier, for readers to find an article they're looking for.

Delete. Literally tens of thousands of people fall under this umbrella, with the topic itself not notable at all.

Category:Contemplated enlargements of the European Union
Category:Buildings and Monuments on the Canadian Register of Historic Places
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: Per
WP:WHATISCRHP, the Canadian Register of Historic Places "confers no historic status or protection. It is merely a database of sites that have been officially designated by governments in Canada as having historic value. The CRHP is an information tool, not a heritage designation itself." In other words, inclusion in that database is not a
defining characteristic of a site in and of itself -- CRHP is simply a directory of sites which have historic status, but is not in and of itself the conferrer of that status. Categorizing for this is the equivalent of categorizing for
Category:Films with IMDb profiles or
Category:Albums with AllMusic profiles, which would also be deeply misguided.

I do not disagree with you that he the CRHP does not confer status, but it is currently nearly impossible to answer questions like:
- what are the oldest buildings in canada? (with info on each building)
- what are the oldest wood framed buildings in Canada?

Category:Notable lower-level poker players
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: Badly named category which exists solely to hold redirects. Under virtually no circumstances should a main content category ever have the word "notable" in its name -- notability is a base requirement of even having a Wikipedia article at all, so it's hardly necessary for the category system to distinguish "notable X" from "non-notable X". But even worse, it was created entirely to hold people whose names exist solely as redirects to a poker competition that they participated in, and thus haven't even been established as "notable" in the first place -- and for the icing on the cake, one redirect (which I've already deleted as cross-namespace) existed not as a redirect to a competition, but as a recursive redirect back to this category, which is not acceptable at all. Renaming might be acceptable as well, if somebody can propose a legitimate alternate name for it and some actual articles that could be filed in that, but an inappropriately named category that exists solely to hold redirects is hardly needed.

That just begs the question of what exactly the definition of "lower-level" is.
Clarityfiend (
talk) 12:27, 5 July 2023 (UTC)reply
One way to define it, if we take WSOP as example, could be to set every championship event as high-stakes, and the lower levels set at non-championship bracelet-events, and the World Series of Poker Circuit-events, respectively.

Hardly so when most of the notable players at these levels can be found on the World Series of Poker Circuit Tour - and thus the main part of eligible players for a possible inclusion for a "lower level"-player is deemed not notable.
TheElvisBelievingBumbleBee (
talk) 13:41, 5 July 2023 (UTC)reply
Moreover; the
Circuit tour is officially right "below" the World Series of Poker Tour and thus is defined as a lower level. (See for a snooker example the relationship between
World Snooker Tour and
Q Tour (former PIOS Tour)).

Evenmore so; there aren't really that many categories systemizing poker players so this one is needed.

Delete per nom. When one needs to use "notable" in the category's name, it's in trouble. (usually subjective, usually with no clear criterion for membership, and so on)

Category:Adjunct professor
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: Misguided category. There are five articles here, of which three are biographies of people who have held adjunct professorships -- but all that really means is "part-time instead of full-time", which means it isn't a
defining characteristic of the people. If the biographies are removed, however, then all that would be left are
adjunct professor itself and a spinoff article about adjunct professors in North America, which isn't enough content to need a dedicated category.
