Category:Advocacy

• Three keep, eight delete. Category deleted. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah")]] 23:46, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Advocacy is a duplicate category already covered by Category:Activism. Also, please note that the author who created this category, fabricated a definition for advocacy that does not exist in any dictionary. --Viriditas 09:50, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• KEEP. (Viriditas desperately needs a link to a dictionary, but I've already wasted too much time on this lame joke.) HistoryBuffEr 10:37, 2004 Nov 13 (UTC)

From the Oxford English Dictionary: Advocacy - The function of an advocate; the work of advocating; pleading for or supporting. I think it's clear that you fabricated a definition for advocacy and duplicated the category for Activism so that you could remove pages you disagree with from that category and place them in a category where you associate them with propaganda. You've already done this with two articles, Hasbara and Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and as usual, you did it without any discussion. You're not only pushing your POV again, but you are ignoring categories already setup to handle these pages, as well as inventing definitions out of thin air to support your weak argument for a new category that already duplicates an existing category (Activism) that contains advocacy groups. --Viriditas 11:06, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Delete all three categories (Propaganda, activism and advocacy) and replace with a united list. These POV fights are the silliest around. Gady 14:32, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Why do you want to delete the Activism category? In any case, advocacy groups are contained by the Activist cat. What cat would you replace them with? Even a list should be categorized. Can you explain? --Viriditas 19:33, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Delete, redundant and misleading. -Sean Curtin 02:39, Nov 14, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep - make it a subcategory of C:Activism. It is distinct enough. Perhaps a new definition is in order. --Whosyourjudas (talk) 03:43, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Del - what's next, Category:Support? ←Humus sapiens←Talk 09:04, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Delete, as this is just another one of HistoryBUffer's time-wasting ploys and it is not concerned with the welfare of honest scholarship on Wikipedia or elsewhere. How sad that we have to waste precious time on such drivel. IZAK 12:54, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
