Category talk:en:Birth control

Request for deletion (April 2014)
The page itself doesn't exist (yet), but has been adding words to this category. I think this is a misuse of categories; this might be useful for Wikipedia, but not for Wiktionary. --WikiTiki89 20:08, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I think I agree. The category is rather specific. Then again, it's valid as a topic as such. 20:18, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * You may want to wait till its populated before passing judgment, but if it fails, the contraception-related terms could be put in Sex instead. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 20:21, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I think that's an argument for keeping, at least. Category:en:Sex doesn't seem like a very good place for these. But Category:en:Pregnancy does. 20:25, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Would it be better to narrow the focus to Category:Contraception and 86 terms like calendar method? ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 20:57, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm struggling to see a reason to delete this. It's really not beyond other topical categories we have already. It's not violating any policies or even any guidelines. As, as far as I know, there aren't any. Renard Migrant (talk) 12:52, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you give some examples of other topical categories it's not beyond? --WikiTiki89 13:04, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Category:en:Pies, for one Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 16:36, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Well if I had it my way, I would get rid Category:en:Pies as well (and half the entries in, too). But I agree that Category:en:Birth control is no more or less includable than Category:en:Pies. --WikiTiki89 16:49, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Does no harm IMO. DAVilla 20:03, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

No consensus to delete (no one even seconded the request). And two months without comment. Closing as RFD passed. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 16:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. A topic like any other, and it seems to have accumulated enough entries to merit its own category. And if deleted, it is not clear which of the parents (pun intended) it should be integrated into. — Keφr 12:35, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per Renard and DAVilla Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken) (Locker) 16:36, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
