[edit] September 2006
Ah, looks like someone finally created these AfD categories. The page claims the categories are not active yet. In what sense are they not active? They exist, articles are in them. Is this all being created as someone's decision to Be Bold, or per some consensus reached somewhere? --Xyzzyplugh 04:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think this category feature is great. I have been moving items into the appropriate categories. I am not sure where is the best place to raise this, but could an additional category be created for langunage. I have been putting those entries that deal with WP:NEO and dictionary definitions into the Society topics because nothing else fits. Also, is there any ranking or preference for entries that could fit into two or more categories, ie an online flash game could be in Web (W) or Games (G)? Thanks--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 13:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The policy which created these categories
Is Wikipedia:AfD categories. (I'm assuming people will wander into this talk page wondering where these categories have come from). Should the policy be linked from the main category page? --Xyzzyplugh 13:35, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Medicine, psychology, etc.
Needs a letter: quite broad. Please assign, who is skilled here. The closest match is "T Science and technology", but fits poorly `'mikka 02:29, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- You can propose a new category at Wikipedia talk:AfD categories. It may have been discussed before there. –Pomte 04:18, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple Catagories
The code permits multiple sorting templates by duplicating the REMOVE WHEN CLOSING template. Is there a circumstance that this is good for? Or is it simply a side-effect of the way we use templates? The only thing I could think of would be an article like "Coverage of the 2008 Election", which (ignoring the fact that it would likely not be up for deletion) would fit M - Media and S - Society. I don't know if multiple catagories would matter elsewhere, but maybe I'm missing something? ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 03:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Tracker by Category
AfDBot has been approved for operation. the bot generates lists of AfD cases by date and by category. I have transcluded the category list here for reference. Special thanks to ST47, who coded and will run the bot. Cats where the open case count is less than the total case count indicate that one or more closed AfDs still have a REMOVE WHEN CLOSING template, which keeps them in the category.

- Oh, I only noticed this now. Yesterday, I went through Special:Whatlinkshere on that template to find old unlisted AfDs. The table at the top of this page doesn't seem particularly useful for locating them. –Pomte 23:32, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Cool, but where's the list by dates for categories? Is that available. I'd like to just be able to monitor the AfDs for Music and have that listed in a way I can keep track of. For that matter, can we maybe consider splitting Music off since there's a often a couple hundred entries in this category? Thanks —Torc. (Talk.) 22:33, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
