Category:Foreign films shot in the Philippines

 * 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: merge. MER-C 12:04, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Foreign films shot in the Philippines to Category:Films shot in the Philippines
 * Nominator's rationale: Category:Films by country of shooting location does not have an established scheme of using subcategories to segregate "foreign-produced but locally-shot" films from "locally-produced and locally-shot" films for any other country, and there's no reason why the Philippines should need special treatment that other countries' film industries aren't getting. Literally every country on earth has some "foreign" films shot there in addition to its own native film industry, and the Philippines are not unique in this. Bearcat (talk) 22:54, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete The fact that the original Star Wars was shot in Tunisia does not make it being an American film and not a Tunisian one any more defining. The same is true for every country. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 05:26, 2 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom No reason for this distinction. Dimadick (talk) 07:55, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom – not notable by itself. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 14:29, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 12:06, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting upptalk


 * Nominator's rationale: The comparison pages (which are easily found as links from Upptalk anyway) only mention this software briefly. This is as close to a "category for a single article" as you can get. Connor Behan (talk) 06:48, 1 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Support deletion per nominator's rationale. – Sonicwave talk  06:10, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 12:05, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Public universities in Latvia to Category:Universities in Latvia
 * Propose merging Category:Public universities in the Netherlands‎ to Category:Universities in the Netherlands‎
 * Propose merging Category:Public universities in Spain to Category:Universities and colleges in Spain
 * Propose merging Category:Public universities in the United Arab Emirates‎ to Category:Universities and colleges in the United Arab Emirates
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, in these countries a university is public by default, so it does not make sense to make subcategories for public universities. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion. Many universities are already in a (e.g. regional) subcategory of the target, so this should be merged manually in order to avoid duplication. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 1 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge -- Private universities are a rarity in Europe, etc. If there were any private ones (which I doubt), they might have a special category.  The only case I know of in Europe is Buckingham (in England), but this subsequently obtained a royal charter making it a public one.  Peterkingiron (talk) 11:06, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

Category:Pop-folk singers

 * 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. MER-C 12:03, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Pop-folk singers to Category:Folk-pop singers
 * Nominator's rationale: The standard English-language term for the musical genre that blends pop and folk is folk-pop rather than pop-folk. (Although the term "pop-folk" does seem to also exist for a specifically Balkan variant, it just gets handled as a paragraph within our article about folk-pop, rather than as its own separate article.) Accordingly, this should be named to match the actual location of the article. The Balkan country subcategories can keep "pop-folk" if they want on WP:ENGVAR grounds — but the transnational parent should use the standard terminology, and a couple of the non-Balkan country subcategories should probably be listed for renaming too. Bearcat (talk) 00:03, 1 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. As a folk-pop/folk-rock singer and songwriter, I agree. Grutness... wha?   03:13, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Rename per nom. To match the main article. Dimadick (talk) 20:32, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
