Wikipedia:Categories for deletion discussion
[edit]- The following discussion moved from Wikipedia:Categories for deletion when this category was listed on January 7, 2005. The category will not be deleted as there was a technical issue which prompted it to be listed when it was not really needed. RedWolf 04:57, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)
I accidentally created two Category:Arabic poets as can be seen here: Category:Poets by language. One of them needs to be deleted. I apologize to whoever has to clean up my mess for being impatient and not following instructions. There is only one person in the category at the moment, but there are plenty of Arabic poets to add to the category. gK ¿? 05:37, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Looks OK to me, I only see one. --ssd 01:21, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- There were originally two with the exact same name. When they went to delete just one, they both got deleted. I recreated the category, so now there is only one. gK ¿? 04:14, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- That's not quite what happened. The repair process involves deleting the "article", then restoring it. When the article is deleted, it deletes both of the duplicate articles, placing them into the deleted revision archive. On restore, they are treated as two revisions of one article instead of two separate articles. Thus instead of two overlapping articles you end up with one article with two revisions.
