Nominator's rationale: I don't think this is really intended to be a category (it has unusual text and no parent categories). DexDor^(talk) 19:09, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Ivy League Basketball League is the oldest College Basketball League in the United States. Its predecessor The Eastern Inter-Collegiate Basketball League (EIL) dates back to 1901-02. Its members have played more contests against each other than any other college basketball conference in the nation. Can this historical data be added to Wikipedia's page on Ivy League Basketball and to Wikipedia's page on The Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibf19ivy (talk • contribs) 21:52, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any referenced info that you think should be added to an article then you can do this yourself - or put a note on a talk page (e.g. Talk:Ivy League). Afaics, it has nothing to do with categorization. DexDor^(talk) 22:01, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Unimportant distinction, irrelevant category. Basically every PC/OS X/Linux game sold on Steam, which is over 7000, will go in it. This category has been deleted multiple times under both this name and other names such as "Video games on Steam" -- ferret (talk) 16:56, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete G4 per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_February_3#Category:Video_games_on_Steam. --Izno (talk) 17:32, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and salt because this seems to be a perennial problem. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 17:47, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above—not a defining category, already distinguished by platform and we don't distinguish by distribution venues. czar 18:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete and salt per Izno and Torchiest. --Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 18:20, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Seemingly WP:TRIVIALCAT. Citobun (talk) 14:34, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete At the very least, we'd need a Red public minibus article before we could attempt to categorize by the topic. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:05, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Public light bus is an article related to this matter Ckh3111 (talk) 08:10, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- I am not quite clear of the significance of this Hong Kong category, but it has the feel of "roads that are bus routes". We did an en-masse deletion of bus route articles some time ago. I do not want to see such things creeping back. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:19, 13 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This has a feel of performer by performance. We should have articles about bus routes, but the characteristic that the road has a certain type of minibus operating there is not a defining characteristic of the road. Alansohn (talk) 16:46, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
