Delete this category. Eventually, all Czech entries are going to have links to audio files, so this is at best a maintenance category. The list of Czech entries that have an audio section can be extracted from a dump; this is also true of the list of Czech entries that use the template "audio". --Dan Polansky 09:18, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Keep. From experience I can say that in the past I tried to search for entries with audio (because it would help me learn to pronounce fluently and remember the words), but failed. I can't imagine that I would be the only one. Such a category would have helped me much. So: When will all have audio? What about in the meantime? --JorisvS 10:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Are you saying that you have searched for Czech entries with pronunciation and failed? Many common words already have pronunciation, imported from The Shtooka Project project, so randomly browsing common Czech words should get you a lot of words with pronunciation. See also Commons:Category:Czech pronunciation, which has 3,067 member files. --Dan Polansky 11:38, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Not so much Czech in particular, but in general. I am getting at this from a more general perspective. Nonetheless, I would appreciate an answer to the questions I've asked. As for Commons, strangely these files do not say they're being used here on Wiktionary even though they are(!). --JorisvS 10:30, 7 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Your questions: Q: When will all [entries] have audio? A: I don't know. Ten years from now, there will probably still be many entries without an audiofile. Q: What about in the meantime? A: In the meantime: If a language has a significant number of audiofiles in Wiktionary, merely randomly browsing common words of the language gets you a lot of entries with audiofiles. If a language has a very small number of audiofiles in Wiktionary, the small set cannot be effectively used for language learning anyway, but even if you want to have a look at that set, you can look up the set of all audiofiles in Commons. On another note, in order to make it easier to find the Commons category from Wiktionary, {{langcatboiler}} used in language category pages such as Category:Czech language could be extended to link to the category for audiofiles in Commons. --Dan Polansky 08:43, 8 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

kept per no consensus. --ElisaVan (talk) 17:29, 5 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

This category is redundant, since there is already Category:Czech terms with audio links, which is not filled manually but by a template. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:14, 2 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Delete. --WikiTiki89 11:53, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Delete per nom. - -sche (discuss) 17:10, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Delete per nom as redundant and manually maintained. I would also delete Category:Czech terms with audio links, but there won't be a consensus for this, I fear. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:06, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Indeed, I think Cirrus search would allow the members to be found fairly easily without Category:Czech terms with audio links, although not very efficiently. DCDuring TALK 17:16, 13 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
