Rather than look at the criteria for deletion, the selection process is more important. A category is not approved to become a category unless it has a specific number of questions that need a home-- usually several hundred or more questions. A Community Advisor reviews category suggestions and approves or declines it. Some are held back for future use. However, once a category is created, it is here to stay.
