It's too broad. The problem is that news is inherently temporal. News becomes not news simply by the passage of time. And categorizing something as news calls for a conclusion that is the purview of the AfD itself; labelling something as news can be tantamount to concluding that it should be deleted

Unless it's actual hardware (tanks, guns, etc, under T for tech) or defense contractors (O - organizations and corporations), I've usually put military and terrorism topics under society, since it ties back to politics and government which ties it to society. None of the other categories seemed to

The code permits multiple sorting templates by duplicating the REMOVE WHEN CLOSING template. Is there a circumstance that this is good for? Or is it simply a side-effect of the way we use templates? The only thing I could think of would be an article like "Coverage of the 2008 Election", which

Cool, but where's the list by dates for categories? Is that available. I'd like to just be able to monitor the AfDs for Music and have that listed in a way I can keep track of. For that matter, can we maybe consider splitting Music off since there's a often a couple hundred entries in this

Ah, looks like someone finally created these AfD categories. The page claims the categories are not active yet. In what sense are they not active? They exist, articles are in them. Is this all being created as someone's decision to Be Bold, or per some consensus reached somewhere?

I think this category feature is great. I have been moving items into the appropriate categories. I am not sure where is the best place to raise this, but could an additional category be created for langunage. I have been putting those entries that deal with

I believe there short be a new sorting category for NEWS AND EVENTS. The reason is that many articles on news and events of questionable notability get proposed for deletion. These debates get placed into virtually all of the existing categories. For example,

Indiscernible or unclassifiable topic, Nominator unsure of category, or Debate not yet sorted. There is actually a

Society topics because nothing else fits. Also, is there any ranking or preference for entries that could fit into two or more categories, ie an online flash game could be in Web (W) or Games (G)?

Can someone tell me what category I should put articles dealing with terrorist attacks? None of the categories shown seem to apply. I have been putting them in "Society topics", but that just seems wrong.

By the way, the

I find the name of this category misleading. Even closed debates are still debates. Shouldn't this actually be
