Dr Spui, Because a majority of voters voted to keep it as a Category and doing this could provoke an edit war. Perhaps you would be better places putting a message on Texas Wikipedians board asking for viewpoints and/or leave messages on the userpages of the users who wanted to keep it. If you did something like this, you would possibly build concensus in favour of the move or alternatively develop an understanding of their position.

A while ago I was reading an article about something in Texas and came across http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Handbook_of_Texas_citations on the bottom. That category is added by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Handbookoftexas , a useful external link template. But the category seems like simple clutter in the list of categories on the article. So I listed it for deletion (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2005_Sept... ). Due at least in part to someone spamming the talk pages of Texas Wikipedians, the category was kept.
I honestly don't understand any of the arguments for keep. Some are plain erroneous (one person likens it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1911_Britannica , which is for articles that *contain* text from the 1911 EB) and others don't make sense.
Basically I'm asking for a reason why this category should exist, and why I shouldn't be bold and remove it from the template. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
