I am for deleting this page, we have Categories for People from the Netherlands of Surinamese decent, People from the Netherlands of Antillean decent, and so forth, I don't feel like a category called Black Dutch people, is a good choice, to separate people based on their race, is not how it should be done in my humble opinion. It is not done on the Dutch Wikipedia site, and I don't think it needs to be done on the English one either.

Nominator's rationale: The category is vague, ill-thought out, useless and potentially unlimited.

Note: As the renaming proposal has been withdrawn, I've modified the above to reflect the category in question. -

Keep A rather specific and defined neighborhood of New York City's borough of Manhattan, for which entries can be and are confirmed with reliable and verifiable sources. It's hard to see how this is vague, ill-thought out or useless, and I'm baffled as to how the category could be unlimited, potentially or otherwise.

Keep this is a distinct area and clearly both larger and more distinctive than many of the places we have categories for people being from.

Nominator's rationale: Violates
WP:BLPCAT as the aim is to categorize living people accused of crimes, not those actually convicted. Probably needs a snow/speedy delete, but there's way too many articles added in from the past week. —

Delete per
WP:BLPCAT. A blogger I know once wrote the average US citizen breaks on average a couple of laws daily. We're all criminals then, but only if we are eventually found guilty of breaking the law.

Keep. Dear all, whilst I agree with
WP:BLPCAT, I must draw your attention towards the facts that a) The CAT spells that the politicians are accused and does not state that they are criminals. b) In the individual articles, incident are published & backed by reliable third-party sources. Please consider. Cheers AKS 20:05, 19 August 2012 (UTC)reply
Articles can have statements reliably sourced. Categories say "X is a Y". And being accused is not defining. -

Delete – not a defining characteristic of
Gadjah Mada University; we can't categorise a university by every department. If there was even a paragraph about the vet school, there could be a redirect.

Keep there are 9 such schools. Whether or not the articles yet exist, each is notable enough to merit an article, and thus we should have the category.

Rename - regardless of the above being true, they all should use "the". -
The BushrangerOne ping only 19:02, 21 August 2012 (UTC)reply
Keep -- This is not about a hazily defined region near Mandalay, but about a governmental area called a region. It is "Mandalay Region" not "the Mandalay region". The nom is the equivalent of asking for a rename to ... "in the New York State" rather than in "in New York State".

Procedural keep whether it should be called "Madalay Region" or "the Mandalay Region", the nomination should include all categories that would be effected not just this one.
