1111:- Too ambiguous a category. The term "pornographic" is subjective enough that whether or not certain articles fall into this category would inevitably result in edit wars which can never be definitively resolved. "Pornographic" is also a derogative term to 99.9% of the population, which means that editors who like an article's subject are unlikely to allow it to remain under this category.-- 913:- The basic principle here has already been thoroughly discussed in the above mentioned CfDs, but categories which combine multiple unrelated characteristics results in articles falling into an excessive number of categories, multiplies the amount of category upkeep required, and makes the category system many times more complicated without in any way adding to its usefulness.-- 849:

While I agree with the procedural oppose, I think the whole tree is overly specific. After 1800, decade categories should be sufficient, and before 1800 we can have one category . 931: 819: 827: 121: 888:

Listen: "by year" is the most important wikipedia category for video games. It's only reason I come here.I'm kind of a big deal and you should listen to me! Thanks
