Category:Fictional television shows with religious themes

 * 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:Television series about religion; revisit if necessary. There's multiple options flying around and no support for the current title; this seems to have the best weight of precedent. Timrollpickering 00:25, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Fictional television shows with religious themes to Category:Religion in television
 * Nominator's rationale: "Fictional television shows" refers to made-up shows from works of fiction. This is about real shows that are works of fiction. – Laundry Pizza 03  ( d c&#x0304; ) 23:05, 13 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Rename to . Otherwise it will be a mix of factual shows and comedies, dramas, etc. I'm about to make a subcat, BTW, for (which fits the naming standards for other comedy series themes). Grutness...  wha?   02:12, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Note for the alternative proposal that we normally do not describe categories by what it is not, we describe them by what they are. And there wouldn't be anything wrong with documentary television shows included in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:34, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment Between the two posited renames; I'd prefer that by Grutness for the reasons that editor articulates. Perhaps the wording problem articulated by Marcocapelle can be addressed by some rephrasing Category:Religion in fiction on television or something like that to exclude documentaries, which ought not be lumped together with fiction.

 * Suggestion can't we rename as nominated and create a subcategory Category:Documentary television series about religion as soon as there is enough content? It would be entirely similar to Category:Films about religion and Category:Documentary films about religion. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:31, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * That would separate the two and provide a clear distinction. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:43, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Grutness... wha?   01:38, 15 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment: Category:Television series about religion would follow the more common pattern within Category:Television series by topic. Also, none of the other sub-cats of that one specify "fictional"; I think it's only "documentaries" that get specified in TV or film by topic. – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Given the current content of the category, Category:Television series about religion would be fine with me as well. It looks like all articles in the category are about television series. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:34, 15 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Pic'n mix: Rename to - the documentary series need to be kept apart. Possibly . Johnbod (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * We do not have any other non-documentary categories and I do not think we should have them either, per earlier comment. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:31, 17 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment How would Category:Religion in television fit in with Category:Religious television series? Jim Michael (talk) 20:13, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Category: Religious television series contains series presented by religious people, as a genre. After renaming of the nominated category, Category: Religious television series should become a subcategory of it. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:18, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
