 * You need to empty the category before it can be deleted. DonnanZ (talk) 11:50, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Categories are RFDed based on whether they should exist, not whether deletion is technically possible. They should be emptied out only after the RFD process has led to a deletion decision, not before. —Rua (mew) 16:43, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. My statement is still correct, however. DonnanZ (talk) 16:48, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, but not relevant at this moment, not to mention obvious. —Rua (mew) 16:51, 25 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep — One, every word in the category is an English word. Two, every word in the category has the prefix terti-.  allixpeeke (talk) 12:00, 25 February 2019 (UTC)


 * It was created as a wanted category, but regarding it as a prefix could be a false assumption; comes from 🇨🇬 for example. "English words beginning with terti-" is perhaps technically correct, but I'm not sure that we cater for that. DonnanZ (talk) 12:38, 25 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Yep. If you take away the "terti-", you get * parous, * ary and * ate which are really the suffixes -parous, -ary and -ate. That would be like analyzing watery as the "prefix" * water- + * y . Chuck Entz (talk) 14:14, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Deleted as something created in error by a bot based on mistaken information by a human; the only entry left in the category at the time was tertiparous; I also removed the "secondi-" and "secundi-" categories which were based solely on "secondiparous" and "secundiparous". If anyone would like to clean up those -parous entries further, please do. - -sche (discuss) 23:30, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Basically, these words were coined as if (New) Latin secundiparus, tertiparus existed; indeed, those (New) Latin words do get a few hits (for various inflected forms). - -sche (discuss) 23:32, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
