1. Let's keep it going. G Man (talk) 06:01, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
2. This one and the rest of them.--ApooftGnegiol (talk) 11:38, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

   In spite of objections, I am affirming my delete stance. Yes, RW is meant to explore authoritarianism, but this doesn't mean create a vague and subjective category for it. This and Category:Authoritarian moonbattery can be merged into Category:Authoritarianism. No need for a seperate category. Andrew5 (talk) 16:29, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Keep

2. A lot of pages use this category. 2600:387:B:9:0:0:0:75 (talk) 21:40, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

   Not a reason for keeping. Techpriest can get Inferno Bot running to clear categories, and just because pages have them, doesn't mean we should be keeping faulty categories. -Andrew5 (talk) 01:17, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

3. Labels the individual who has gone over the edge as either libertarian or authoritarian and whether they are left or right-wing. 2620:F3:8000:5050:D158:C4C5:7E5E:A80 (talk) 21:50, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
4. "Explorations of authoritarianism" is literally #3 in the purpose of RatWiki. If you don't want to call it "wingnuttery", just call it "Goose-stepping Authoritarians" or something. ℕoir LeSable (talk) 19:23, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

   This could easily be merged into Category:Authoritarianism, along with the one for authoritarian moonbattery. Also - moonbat and wignut are actual political terms used, no one uses goose stepping. Andrew5 (talk) 16:46, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

5. Might need a rename but such a category is useful. Plutocow (talk) 18:28, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
6. This proposal is idiotic. 71.208.x.x (talk) 14:53, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

• Do we strike out IP votes? I saw someone did but I don't remember this being enforced or in the CS. Andrew5 (talk) 00:55, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
• I checked the geolocations, one of them is Chicago, the other one to Clearlake, CA so the chance of sockpuppetry is low; that being said, the one in Clearlake is on a range globally blocked on Wikipedia for abuse, but it's also a public T-Mobile range, I thought I'd put it down here. Andrew5 (talk) 12:58, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
• Why are these all still open? Until today, there were no new votes on this one in almost a month. 𝒮𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃𝑒 ^talk 19:11, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

  Because @Techpriest hasn’t gotten Inferno Bot to remove the categories from all the pages yet. Christopher (talk) 19:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

  That strikes me as a silly reason to keep voting open through such an unusually long time with no activity. Presumably, if the consensus on April 2 had been in favor of 'keep,' these all would have been closed a long time ago. I don't see why a vote favoring 'delete' needs to be kept open until the pages are actually deleted. Perhaps I'm biased, though, since I favor deleting all of these.

  Tempted to post an ATIM request on this...sadly, as it is linked on over 600 pages, it can't be removed by hand. Andrew5 (talk) 00:35, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

• Ok, I posted a request at RW:TS, this is taking forever. Andrew5 (talk) 14:50, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
• Can someone contact Techpriest directly? Even the RW:TS request got no reply in days. Andrew5 (talk) 11:38, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
