| Category:Alleged Osama bin Laden bodyguard |
rename to Category:Alleged bodyguards of Osama bin Laden. As pointed out, a merge to Category:Bodyguards is not appropriate, since these are only alleged bodyguards. However I am unconvinced by the deletion arguments since on checking the articles they all have the allegations mentioned and sourced, normally to US documents. Therefore I fail to see the difference between putting these in a separate article, and in a category |

| Category:Anti-creationism |
This was a difficult discussion to figure out, but in the end, as several people pointed out, "Anti-Creationism" is simply too vague and could potentially encompass basically every organization and person who operates under the guide of empiricism. Right now the category is basically POV by which articles are included in it, so it has to go. And might I add that I was thoroughly unconvinced by this argument: "finely we have a list of the issues persons and movements refuting the existence of G-D, lets deal with it, they are strong voice full and really out there". It's sad that religion in general can be conflated with a specific religious belief like literal creationism, and yet another reason why categories like these are problematic |

I've decided to be bold and to adjust this closure from no consensus to merge per Xtifr. Also, this is a clear example of overcategorization, where the occupation is too specific (and only 4 individuals are in the category, and there isn't an exablished "..by nationality" parent cat) |

This is better as an evergreen umbrella category like category:Career achievements of sportspeople. I picked "positions" rather than "views" because more of the articles use that terminology, and the rest of the article names should also be standardized, but that's not an issue for this page |
