Category:Pederastic poetry
Simply mismatch of theme and naming. It is named "poetry" category but two articles under it are focused on poets ... also I have no idea if we really need this category either for poetry or for poets: there are only two items in this category for now.--Aphaia 11:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete mainly due to its mismatching name. --Aphaia 11:51, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, not necessarily for a mismatched name, but for the reason that this seems to be too narrowly focused for a category. ~ UDScott 17:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. I doubt the usefulness of subdividing categories of poetry. In the first place, such categories often tend to be fairly subjective. In addition, any category that is chosen for a page would suggest that all the quotes on the page must belong to that category.  There are, for example, satirical verses on the pages of Pope or Byron, but many other quotes are not satirical.  What, then, if someone were to create a category (Poetic Satire or, simply, Satire) and add it to those pages? It would be accurate only for parts and not for the whole. I think that we should stick to broad, general categories pertaining to writers (Novelists, Playwrights, etc.) and not to their works (Love Poetry, Lyric Poetry, etc.) - InvisibleSun 22:44, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I cannot imagine that many people are on the lookout for pederasty on this site.--Poetlister 18:03, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Don't have a problem with pederasty, but with only two people, not even two poems, in it, seems silly to keep. Dev920 00:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
