IMO delete: the benefits of such a category are AFAICT three:
- the category can be browsed;
- the page can, at a glance, be seen to be closed (check the bottom line); and
- tools like CatScan (CategoryIntersect) can be used to search among pages in the category.
The first two reasons do not exist in this case, as (respectively)
- [[Wiktionary:Votes/Timeline]] is better than a category for that purpose and
- we have a "decision" section at the bottom which is almost always very clear.
The third benefit of this category is not enough IMO to keep it. Others may differ. If we do keep it, it should be completely populated, or it's worth less.—msh210℠ (talk) 00:14, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Populate, or delete?—msh210℠ (talk) 15:39, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Kept unfixed. Nominating at RFDO and striking here.—msh210℠ (talk) 00:10, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Delete category
[edit]On close inspection, this category does not seem to make any sense, so rather than waste our time with another RFDO, I'll go ahead and orphan/delete it. These are the current members of the category as of September 2016. Total: 16 members.
