Category:English words derived from: neuroma
I oppose the practice of creating these sorts of categories, as I have posted recently in Beer parlour. This category, in particular, is unlikely to get anything like a significant number of entries. Delete. --Dan Polansky 18:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This should really be discussed on the BP, rather than here. -- Prince Kassad 18:05, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, I abstain. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:05, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * In principle, I would tend to agree; see WT:BP, February 2011. However, I think this category created by should be deleted nonetheless. His procedure is fairly reckless: he is adding  like in  in spite of this not fitting the current formatting practice of using . Feel free to contribute to the BP discussion. --Dan Polansky 18:14, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * is part of no policy. DCDuring TALK 19:17, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * So what? is part of a common practice. I know that you care more about written policies such as CFI even when they do not reflect consensus, but I don't: I care more about common practice and consensus than about unvoted-on written policies. If you doubt that the use of  is supported by consensus, we can try to find out, without thereby proliferating new policies. --Dan Polansky 06:46, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Anyone can claim and even believe that there is a consensus. DCDuring TALK 09:47, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It is possible for anyone to claim what is not true; it is possible for anyone to lie. But for anyone to have valid grounds for believing there is a consensus, there has to be some evidence. Your repeated claiming of consensus where there was none shows that you are not quite honest in this regard. I have stopped assuming good faith in you years go; I only mostly continue pretending that I assume good faith. This remark of yours only further discloses your dishonest nature. --Dan Polansky 09:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I am striking this result of accumulated anger. I am sorry. --Dan Polansky 09:35, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete this specific category; Special:Search comes up with only one potential entry: acoustic neuroma. Category with only one entry = useless. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:31, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

This specific category was deleted per consensus. (Notably, the much bigger issue of what to do with the "practice of creating these sorts of categories" has been discussed multiple times elsewhere, but without achieving a consensus as of now.) --Daniel. 18:25, 21 May 2011 (UTC)
