Category:Indian subsidiaries of foreign multinational companies

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering 22:20, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Indian subsidiaries of foreign multinational companies to Category:Indian subsidiaries of foreign companies
 * Nominator's rationale: To make the naming consistent with other subcategories under Category:Multinational companies.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 20:01, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Rename If the company has a subdivision in India and is based in another country, it is by definition multi-national, at least as most use the term. Even if a company based in Pakistan with an Indian sub-division and no other operations outside of Pakistan would not be multi-national, it just does not seem worth subdividing in such a way that we would exclude such from this category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:19, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Category:Theatrical cartels

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was: rename to the alternative target Category:Theatre-owning companies. Moving to the first-mentioned target would have implied a merge to an existing biographies category, that seems not to have been the intention of this discussion. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 03:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Theatrical cartels to Category:Theatre companies
 * Nominator's rationale: — swpb T 18:14, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * keep but rename? Looking at the members, they appear to be companies owning performance venues rather than groups putting on theatrical performances, so the proposed merger is not the right solution to a name which is misleading, to say the least. Possibly there is another category this should be merged into, but if not someone ought to come up with a better name; I'm afraid I can't come up with one off-hand. Mangoe (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Suggest rename to Category:Theatre owners or Category:Theatre-owning companies. These are different from Theatrical performing companies (actors + their managers), which I suspect much of the content of the target to be.  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:45, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Rename per Peterkingiron's suggestion. A theatre company is typically representing the performers, not the owners. Dimadick (talk) 06:35, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Category:Jessica Lange

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus to delete, therefore keep but purge as suggested by some. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:13, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting jessica lange


 * Nominator's rationale: Not counting the book and template, there are only eight articles and one subcategory. This is slim for an eponymous category. ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:44, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment, I'm not sure that it is too slim. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:14, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete not enough to justify an eponymous category.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:20, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep but Purge The three other biography categories aren't defined by Ms. Lange but that still leaves a viable category to aid navigation.RevelationDirect (talk) 18:56, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep since sufficiently populated. gidonb (talk) 03:15, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Category:2014–17 Venezuelan protests

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:2014–2017 Venezuelan protests and create new parent category.  you may wish to assist. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:27, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:2014–17 Venezuelan protests to Category:Crisis in Venezuela (2012–present)
 * Nominator's rationale: Crisis in Venezuela (2012–present) is the main article. Charles Essie (talk) 17:18, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * 2014–17 Venezuelan protests is the main article of the category as is. Having said that, it is probably a better idea to try merging the two articles and if that succeeds come back here for renaming and expanding the scope of this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:48, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * That works for me . Charles Essie (talk) 22:12, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Create the new and leave  as the subcategory. 185.59.158.22 (talk) 15:20, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I guess I didn't phase it properly. What I meant to is the crisis is the main topic because the protests are part of the crisis (as the latter's infobox states). That's why I proposed this move. As for your merge proposal, I'm not sure how it would be done as both articles are pretty big. But, I'm certainly open to the possibility. Would you like to begin that discussion? Charles Essie (talk) 16:05, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * It may not be needed after all. The alternative of 185.59.158.22 is also a good idea. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:03, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps. How do you think it should be divided? I'm not entirely sure which articles should go where. Charles Essie (talk) 20:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Doesn't look too difficult. For example Mother of All Marches goes into protests, Shortages in Venezuela goes into crisis. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:35, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright, this page should still moved though. C2D per 2014–2017 Venezuelan protests. Charles Essie (talk) 02:44, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * So, do we have an agreement? Charles Essie (talk) 17:15, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * That's alright, I hadn't noticed the page is now at "2017" instead of at "17". Marcocapelle (talk) 17:27, 24 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I explained in the Spanish Wikipedia the reasons why the article had to be separated in 2014 and 2017 protests before moving them. 2015 and 2016 didn't have strong wave of protests like 2014 or 2017, and the events during the former years, in my opinion, fit better in other categories, while events of the latter have unique article (Bassil da Costa and Leopoldo López for 2014 and the attacks of the Assembly and the Supreme Tribunal for 2017, for instance. My recommendation is to create the categories Category:2014 Venezuelan protests and Category:2017 Venezuelan protests, since 2014-17 is misleading, although Category:Crisis in Venezuela (2012–present) as a main article sounds alright. --Jamez42 (talk) 21:02, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Please better start this discussion at article level, to split 2014–2017 Venezuelan protests into two articles 2014 Venezuelan protests and 2017 Venezuelan protests. The categories will then swiftly follow. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:31, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem is that in Spanish the article was renamed, while in the English Wikipedia a new article was created, so I think the solution would be to move any remaining content and delete the article. Any thoughts? --Jamez42 (talk) 21:46, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean, 2014 Venezuelan protests and 2017 Venezuelan protests already exist as separate articles. Then it does make sense to split the category as well per WP:C2D (provided there is sufficient content for each of the two categories) and keep them both as subcategories of a new Category:Crisis in Venezuela (2012–present). Marcocapelle (talk) 21:49, 24 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep, do not rename category follows the main article 2014–2017 Venezuelan protests and not as suggested. gidonb (talk) 03:18, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * BTW no procedure is needed for anon's suggestion. gidonb (talk) 03:20, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: C2D per Albanian Civil War. Charles Essie (talk) 17:18, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:46, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Government in Austria-Hungary to Category:Government of Austria-Hungary
 * Propose merging Category:Government in Nigeria to Category:Government of Nigeria
 * Propose merging Category:Government in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to Category:Government of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth
 * Propose merging Category:Government in Slovenia to Category:Government of Slovenia
 * Propose merging Category:Government in the United States to Category:Government of the United States


 * Nominator's rationale: Duplicate categories; "of" is the convention of Tim! (talk) 17:03, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * oppose for the United States These are not duplicates. Category:Government of the United States is only about the national/federal government of the US. Category:Government in the United States is a parent category of that plus it includes articles on the states'  and other governments within the United States.  This is clear from the categories' hatnotes Hmains (talk) 02:31, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment on oppose, we can make this same distinction for every country if we wish. The question however is whether (also less experienced) editors will naturally understand this subtle difference, I have my doubts about that. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:53, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) . Marcocapelle (talk) 20:24, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Pakistani subsidiaries of foreign multinational companies to Category:Pakistani subsidiaries of foreign companies
 * Nominator's rationale: Redundant to Category:Pakistani subsidiaries of foreign companies. I request that this be merged into the latter, which meets the naming conventions of other subcategories under Category:Multinational companies.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 16:43, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Why only this category to be re-categorized only? There are same categories on Wiki for other countries too, like Category:Indian subsidiaries of foreign multinational companies, If you want to merge earlier mentioned category then you should also merge this category to same level category too.  S.A.Sajid Talk  17:57, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Support merging There may be a few divisions of comapnies that might not quite be multi-national by all definitions, but I see nothing gained by making such distinctions, and I am not sure there would be an agreed upon way to make such distinctions.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Category:Defunct socialist parties in Jordan

 * The result of the discussion was: keep. (Note: it now contains 4 articles.) – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:51, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting defunct socialist parties in jordan


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NARROWCAT - unclear there is any room for growth here. — swpb T 14:56, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment -- The one article is reasonably well categorised, but deletion would remove it from the Category:Defunct socialist parties tree, where all articles are diffused by country. The immediate parent is a "by country" category, where the article would be out of place.  Its parent is a container for country and continent subcats.  Is the solution to delete the continent branch as adding little, and merge "by country" and this article there?  Peterkingiron (talk) 15:55, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see why the article can't be a direct child of Category:Defunct socialist parties, even though it would be the only one; isn't that generally what we do with pages that don't fit into a subcategory, until there are enough of them to justify a new subcategory? — swpb T 15:46, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose, this is part of an established scheme by country. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:15, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:55, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting swiss coming-of-age films


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:SMALLCAT — swpb T 13:30, 1 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep. SMALLCAT specifically states that it does not apply to situations where a category has an accepted overall scheme of subcategorization, such as a large international umbrella category having its contents diffused by country — because exists, any country is allowed to have one of these as soon as there's at least one article to be filed in it, and since it's a very common genre of film there is a feasible prospect of expansion.
