 * The result of the discussion was: upmerge as proposed. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:38, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Indian prequel films to Category:Prequel films
 * Nominator's rationale: The creator of this category misunderstood "prequel" as meaning "any narrative work with at least one sequel". Since this category isn't so populated, it could be merged with the parent category "Prequel films". Kailash29792 (talk) 13:09, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Some films have gone missing.PhysicsScientist (talk) 13:18, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * What is a prequel?PhysicsScientist (talk) 13:21, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Films like Billa II or Insidious: Chapter 3 are prequels. Set chronologically before, but released after. Kailash29792 (talk) 17:03, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * A prequel is a film which is released later than, but tells a "leadup story" set temporally prior to, an earlier film. Frex, the second Star Wars trilogy are prequels, because they told the story leading up to the original 1977 Star Wars. But the original 1977 Star Wars is not a prequel just because it had sequels, because it was the first film in the series to get made. Bearcat (talk) 04:43, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * That I perfectly know, but the creator of the category does not, despite being told earlier. Besides, there are not that many prequels in Indian cinema, so I think the category doesn't deserve to exist. Kailash29792 (talk) 04:55, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The creator of the category is who I was responding to in the first place, so there was really no need to get defensive about what you do or don't know. Bearcat (talk) 18:06, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Upmerge as nominated. I would have also said to upmerge to, if not for the fact that all these articles are alresdy elsewhere in that tree. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:47, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:35, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting television series created by michael dante dimartino and bryan konietzko


 * Nominator's rationale: There's only two of them, and they don't plan on making more.  Sandstein   07:06, 25 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - While categories like this aren't unprecedented (see Category:Films directed by The Wachowskis), the difference between the two categories is that there is an article on The Wachowskis. There is no article on Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.  In general a category like this covering two people is not a good idea unless it's notable enough to have a page discussing the two people's works as its own article, like the former example. VegaDark (talk) 23:39, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete for Now I could be convinced that duo categories might be needed for Rodgers and Hammerstein where there was a long career together. This seems like WP:OVERLAPCAT though, unless they start making more TV series together. Should we split this category?RevelationDirect (talk) 15:18, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No need, it's all covered in Category:Avatar: The Last Airbender.  Sandstein   16:19, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
