Two new category candidates for deletion
Hello, it's FlyingDuckManGenesis again. Here are two categories I have marked for deletion. These categories were added to a lot of pages by Special:Contributions/74.75.77.29. They are:


 * Filtered categories blocked by AF

Here are three reasons I have nominated these categories for deletion:

1. There is no space between the words, VHS and Ideas.

2. The category doesn't specify who the VHS ideas belong to.

3. Some of the pages he added the category to were of actual Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends episodes. The Thomas and Friends episodes are the property of HiT Entertainment, and not of Scratchpad users.

Now, it would take me a long time to remove the categories from every single page they were put on, and I could be wrong, but I think it would be easier if the entire category pages were deleted. Do you think you could help me out with this? Thank you for your time. - FDMG, 3:36 P.M. Approx. FlyingDuckManGenesis (talk) 19:37, July 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ahoy, these category names are not allowed on ScratchPad in either way, and so I am going to mass remove the category, salt protect it and block it from being used in the abusefilter :)

 * ✅ And had to remove the categories from here due to AF. 21:44, July 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * FDMG, we got rid of those categories here at Scratchpad sometime ago. We did so primarily for the very reasons you mentioned. What’s happened here is that this editor thought that by eliminating the spaces, he could get ’round the abuse filter that was preventing him from using the categories when properly typed out. Also, deleting the category page does not rid us of the bad categorization. That has to be done via each of the pages populating the category, or from the miscreant’s contributions page. Thanks for the report! :) — Spike  Toronto  22:04, July 17, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much, and I thought I would be wrong about removing the category meaning they'd all be removed from the pages anyway, so when I have the time, I shall remove those categories from those pages one by one. - FDMG, 6:17 P.M.
