Nominator's rationale: Contains just one article (following removal of articles that are not about rhyming slang). DexDor (talk) 06:30, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to all parents. This category now fails WP:SMALLCAT, so it should go ... but merger rather than deletion ensures that the head article will remain properly categorised. It looks at the moment as if merger will have the same effect as deletion, but that may not be the case when this discussion is closed. --BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (contribs) 11:52, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (changing my !vote). The category has been populated with articles which are not about rhyming slang, and are categorised by the fcat that another use is made of their name. --BrownHairedGirl(talk) • (contribs) 23:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't exactly see what "slang" has to do with some articles currently included. "Artful Dodger" is about a literary character and not an expression. "Mutt and Jeff (spies)" is about a pair of World War II spies codenamed after comic strip characters. Could someone elaborate on the subject? Dimadick (talk) 15:33, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All the articles include information on the rhyming slang meaning. Search for "rhyming slang" in the article to find information on this. All the above are rhyming slang expressions derived from the person/character/phrase concerned. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 14:50, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how categories are used - for example the London article mentions transport, religion, education, warfare etc, but we don't put the article in all those categories. The Mutt and Jeff (spies) article probably shouldn't even mention rhyming slang as the codenames were (I believe) derived from the cartoon characters not from slang for "deaf".

Delete Nothing other than the article with this name belongs here at all. How do Posh and Becks belong here at all? That is an article on a celebrity couple (or on the coverage of the involved celebrities as a couple) not about slang. The category has accumulated so much rubbish that alone would convince me to delete it. Articles on real couples or on fictional characters do not go in this category. Most of the stuff should not be upmerged, and the main article, which is really the only thing worth moving, is already in the approapriate parent categories, so just get rid of the mess.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:09, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- The contnets (other than the main article) are not about the subject. If the main article is inadequately categorised, that can be corrected manually. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:24, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Azadliq

Nominator's rationale:Convert. This category is acting as a disambiguation page, grouping things that are named "Azadliq". I suggest making a disambiguation page at Azadliq (currently a redirect page to one of the meanings) and deleting the category per WP:OC#SHAREDNAMES. Good Ol’factory(talk)01:51, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, the articlespace title Azadliq is currently a redirect to one particular Azadliq rather than a dab page or an article — so I suspect that this category exists because somebody didn't know how to convert the title properly. But yep, as a category it's a WP:OC#SHAREDNAMES violation. Listify per nom. Bearcat (talk) 08:28, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Articlise probably per nom. The present article is a redirect to an article that is a mere stub. Some of the content of that might also be merged in, so that the word was explained. Alternatively, the new article could be Azadliq (disambiguation), with a "redirects here/other uses capnote on the presetn target. No strong views on which is better, but the present situation will not do. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:30, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
