Forum:Permitting user-created fanon categories

Recently, Category:Created by TheSimSupply was deleted, and I find this decision to delete the category and revert the author to be very bitey. For one thing, the author wasn't even notified of the deletion nomination. Secondly, the category was tagged for regular deletion, not a speedy deletion, but it was treated and deleted as if it were vandalism (a definite failure to assume good faith). And finally, our attitude towards this one category — created by the author with the intention of use on their own fanon pages — gives the impression that we have a de facto ban on fanon categories, which is not only not true, but is unreasonable even if it were.

I strongly suggest that the community reconsiders its decision and permits fanon categories, and encourage authors to put Property on them like any other fanon article, and I would like the community as a whole to issue the original author a formal and sincere apology.
