There are persuasive arguments to keep the category as an area where definitions are being developed, but on balance there seems to be agreement that more work would be needed before this category could have a sufficiently stable definition to be useable as a category |

Keep - The consensus seems to be that Category:Jewish American jurists is a valid category. (The many Keep/UpMerge comments, among others.) That then makes it clear that this is an exception to non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference as noted under that section. In addition, since it is, then categorising by a subcategory of Category:Jurists (Category:United States Supreme Court justices - though it's a sub-sub-sub-sub category) seems to be appropriate per the several keep comments |

To clarify, the consensus was unanimous that the category should be renamed, and renamed to a name that includes the words Christian illuminated manuscripts. There was No consensus to add the "extra" disambiguation phrase "other" or "miscellaneous" |

Category:People museums |
the nomination was to delete it; it appears several 'keep' arguments object to that, but not to a rename. The present name is indeed awkward. The cat descriptor offers three inclusion criteria (biographical museums, collector museums, and museums named after people). The latter is arguably trivia, but the first two can have clearer names as suggested below. Analysis shows that yes, the category is for biographical museums (among others) so that's not inaccurate, and that per the confusion below the present name is neither excellent, nor easy to understand. Hence we end up with renaming to "biographical museums", and split out "collector's museums" as suggested where necessary |

I'll stop short of calling this a WP:POINT action, but this nomination does seem to be designed to at least test the waters of whether consensus has changed concerning this. If not for the tree of Category:Women writers (and the commenters mentioning it, specifically |
