Category:American adult animated television programs featuring anthropomorphic characters

 * 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.

 * Propose merging Category:American adult animated television programs featuring anthropomorphic characters to Category:American animated television programs featuring anthropomorphic characters and Category:American adult animated television series
 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary and non-defining intersection of two unrelated categories. It's questionable whether the target Category:American animated television programs featuring anthropomorphic characters is even really necessary at all, but it certainly doesn't need a separate subcategory to isolate the adult animation from the rest of it.

Category:American LGBT drama television series

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. ℯ xplicit  03:55, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:American LGBT drama television series to Category:American LGBT-related drama television series
 * Propose renaming Category:American LGBT comedy television series to Category:American LGBT-related comedy television series
 * Propose renaming Category:British LGBT drama television series to Category:British LGBT-related drama television series
 * Propose renaming Category:British LGBT comedy television series to Category:British LGBT-related comedy television series
 * Nominator's rationale: Consensus for this tree is that television series should be categorized as "LGBT-related" rather than "LGBT". For an example of why this is necessary, this seems to have been getting weirdly misused as a point of separation between American drama series which centre on LGBT characters as in Queer as Folk and The L Word, which were getting filed here, and American drama series which have LGBT supporting characters as secondary aspects of the show as in Sex and the City and Melrose Place, which were being left in the parent instead. But that's not the distinction we want this category tree to reflect -- all American shows that are LGBT-related enough to warrant categorization on this characteristic at all belong together, not separated into distinct "LGBT" vs. "LGBT-related" buckets on the question of whether the LGBT content was a primary or secondary theme. Bearcat (talk) 17:34, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree.
 * If they are moved, 2 subcats Category:2000s American LGBT comedy television series & Category:2010s American LGBT comedy television series also need to be renamed likewise. Jim Michael (talk) 23:28, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Mittelbau-Dora to Category:Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp
 * Nominator's rationale: C2C (see Category:Wikipedia categories named after Nazi concentration camps) and C2D (Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp). Current category name is ambiguous. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:28, 28 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Rename - Mittelbau-Dora redirects to Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp (admittedly only since 26/08/18). Oculi (talk) 12:04, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes I moved it because it was insufficiently precise. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:02, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: Delete. Timrollpickering 11:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting famous foreign bollywood singers and dancers


 * Nominator's rationale: Not defining, we don't need cat for famous people. Störm   (talk)  10:17, 28 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - I doubt if the words 'famous' or 'foreign' occur in any category names that have survived cfd. Oculi (talk)
 * Delete. There are so many things wrong with this: we do not use the category system to distinguish notable practitioners of the same occupation into distinct "famous" vs. "not-famous" camps above and beyond the basic question of whether they're notable enough to be on Wikipedia at all; we don't yoke singers and dancers together in the same category as each other, but rather apply each occupation as distinct categories; we don't use the category system to mark people out as "foreign" above and beyond the basic matter of categorizing people by their actual nationality. Literally the only part of this that isn't a total non-starter is "Bollywood", and we already have categories for that. Bearcat (talk) 14:32, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Category:Medical schools in Pakistan

 * 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 11:10, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Medical schools in Pakistan to Category:Medical colleges in Pakistan
 * Nominator's rationale: At CFD August 13 there was a narrow consensus to use "medical colleges" in the name of the regional sub-category, following local usage. This should apply nationally. Note: If this is approved, it will override any future C2C nomination to revert to the usual "medical schools" (see Category:Medical schools by country).


 * Note 1: The current name follows the name of the article Medical school. There is a separate article Medical college which is about trade associations for doctors.
 * Note 2: If the nomination is not approved then, instead, ALT-1: Rename the regional sub-cat Category:Medical colleges in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Category:Medical schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, overturning the August CFD. – Fayenatic  L ondon 09:18, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. Nearly all the contents are titled 'medical college'. Category:Medical schools in India and Category:Medical schools in Bangladesh similarly use 'college' predominantly (but not Category:Medical schools in England). Oculi (talk) 10:23, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Rename indeed. Less confusing and wider scope. Accesscrawl (talk) 18:17, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Lists of comics by Marvel Comics - Category:Lists_of_Marvel_Comics
 * Nominator's rationale:I propose Category:Lists of comics by Marvel Comics and Category:Lists_of_Marvel_Comics be merged. -- occono (talk) 23:13, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * The current category name is very confusing indeed. However, from what I see from its category contents, Category:Lists of comics by Marvel Comics is actually meant as Category:Lists of Marvel Comics publications, so it might be kept and renamed instead.

 * Question - does the publisher publish any non-comics? If not support.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:30, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The second one is not only for lists of comics, but lists related to MC including characters etc. Do not merge, but rename the second to Category:Marvel Comics-related lists. Keep the first as part of Category:Lists of comics. – Fayenatic  L ondon 22:33, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

 * A late reply to you are right that we cannot rename this is isolation. The rename that I proposed earlier (with "publications") should be applied to other members of the tree as well. If that would require an entirely fresh nomination, so be it. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:26, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting Category:National Heroes of Barbados
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TOPTEN and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
 * In 1998, Barbados celebrated a centenary and created a top ten list (there's literally 10) of influential figures from Barbados' history. Other than sainthood, awards given out decades after a person's death are rarely defining and this category is already listified here.RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified Ser Amantio di Nicolao as the category creator. – RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep OCAWARD has an exception for the most notable ones, particularly Nobel laureates. This is the state's selection of 10, not that of a random person.  We have been deleting national awards given to foreign dignitaries for diplomatic reasons and those given to 1000s of people, but this is different.  There is no possibility of expansion.
