True, but waiting makes things worse. Similar categories are morphed because the category exists. In that sense we do have a deadline.
Maybe a "Wikiproject Categorization" would be a better solution... Any opinions? Does such a wikiproject exist?

So do you have a suggestion to tackle/quick attack the problem? CfD is a slow and inefficient procedure to get rid of nonsense. Too many panic/contradictory "Keep" votes just pile up in almost an instant.
How do you distinguish the "panic/contradictory" keeps from the "reasoned/consistent" keeps?
If you really think a category should go, take the time to write a full argument for it and don't worry so much if the CfD ends up going the other way. There was once a category on Wikipedia that I felt was deserving of deletion and I spent a lot of effort banging my head against a wall on CfD trying to convince some "keep" voters of my correctness, without success. But ultimately a year or so later, after everyone had wandered off to other things, someone else came along and CfDed it again and the category quietly passed away. If a category is truly deserving of deletion then eventually it's going to happen. We're not on a deadline.
