| *'''Keep'''. None of the comments above cite even a single Wikipedia policy in favor of deletion, just the subjective and unwarranted beliefs that (1) because the category has only one member now, it will necessarily always have one member and (2) such categorization is not useful. I would like to note that (1), even if true, if not justified by policy; there is no Wikipedia policy that says singleton categories cannot exist, and plenty of such categories do exist especially when they function ''in the context of a broader system of categorization'', as this category does in relation to [[:Category:Short stories by year]]. As for (2), any cogent argument that this category is not useful would necessarily apply to all other members of [[:Category:Short stories by year]]. I remind everyone that this categorization system is useful not just because it lets people see what other works were written in the same year as a given short story, but also because it permits a relative chronological ordering of short stories in general. That is, the utility of this category, and all others like it, lies not just in the ability to navigate '''within''', say, [[:Category:794 short stories]] but also '''between''' the categories pertaining to different years. Thus, this category makes complete sense in the context of an existing and accepted system of categorizing short stories, and there is no logical or consistent reason to delete this category but not the others.
