Nominator's rationale: None of the other pages in Category:Dead Sea scrolls is sectionalized by cave of origin. At least some of the four manuscripts, are not certainly from Nahal Hever (per articles). In a quick search, I didn't find a discussion of items from Nahal Hever as a distinct body of works. trespassers william (talk) 20:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge No clear benefit from this distinction as the topic is better understood by their content, not their specific location of discovery within the Qumran Caves area (clearly far too specific). SFB 22:55, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge -- no need to split by cave, particularly as the precise origin of some MSS is not clear, having been bought in markets (etc.) Peterkingiron (talk) 15:49, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale:Delete. This category is way too transitive to be relevant. We already have a category for footballers who have ever been expatriates, which includes current expatriates. – PeeJay 20:39, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. – PeeJay 20:43, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or merge?). Categorization should be for permanent characteristics - not a way of recording "current" status. DexDor (talk) 21:14, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Current has no place in a Category. As stated above there are sufficient categories to cover expatriate players.--Egghead06 (talk) 07:36, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Just removed it from a page on my watchlist, and was intending to nominate it here myself. Categories aren't meant for something as temporary as location of current employment. As said above, categories already exist for footballers who have ever worked abroad, and that's enough. I've notified the creator. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 08:27, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A song should be categorized as a 2013 single or whatever and not by which chart lists it got into. DexDor (talk) 21:17, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Unnecessary split. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 01:41, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- The parent (with 1035 articles, apart from sub-cats) is too large to be useful as a navigation tool. I would suggest restructure into decade categories. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:54, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Categorization of chart performance by decade is a bad idea. Do you categorize them twice if they run over decade, say 2009 and 2010? I would question the need for such categorization at all, really. Precedent via CfD has established that categorization of albums in such a manner is not a good idea as it leads to overcategorization of internationally popular albums and lists such as List of UK Albums Chart number ones of the 2010s are much better in handling and organizing this information. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 14:58, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dan David Prize laureates
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: That a person has received this award is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic - I checked a sample of the articles in this category and in each case the text either doesn't mention the award (example) or it's just one item in a list of awards received (example). For info: There is a list at Dan_David_Prize#Laureates and (as usual in these cases) the list is a much better way of presenting this information (e.g. it can include people for whom there is no wp article). See also WP:OC#AWARD. DexDor (talk) 05:30, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I beg to differ. If the argument is to be taken at face value, other categories on reputed awards will also qualify for deletion, including Templeton Prize, Wolf Prize laureates etc. For:
they also have separate page for the laureate list, and
not all pages of the laureate have direct reference/citation/mention in the text to them. I can also cite examples:
Let's keep the category. It must be noted also that Dan David Prize is introduced quite recently, compared to other notable awards, so that its prestige and notabilty may (will grow) with time. Chhandama (talk) 12:57, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
None of that responds to the point that having received this award is not a WP:DEFINING characteristic of people such as Al Gore. Look how many categories there are on an article like Tom Stoppard. See also WP:OTHERSTUFF and WP:LIKE. DexDor (talk) 21:32, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But for scientists like Michel Brunet (paleontologist), Marcus Feldman, Israel Finkelstein, it is a defining characteristic, because the prize is of the highest honour internationally that they have achieved. In this sense, since the prize is of recent introduction, the number of categories in some people is quite out of context. Chhandama (talk) 13:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Other stuff existing is not a reason to keep this category. Categories need to be defining for the content. The examples above show that it clearly is not in many cases, if not all. Vegaswikian1 (talk) 09:28, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Three prizes of $1M does not make this a major award. It fails WP:OC#AWARD. The normal outcome would be to listify, but nthat is not necessary: Dan David Prize exists. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:58, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
