Decade films by year

 * 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 all. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 02:34, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose merging:
 * Category:1870s films by year to Category:1870s films
 * Category:1880s films by year to Category:1880s films
 * Category:1890s films by year to Category:1890s films
 * Category:1900s films by year to Category:1900s films
 * Category:1910s films by year to Category:1910s films
 * Category:1920s films by year to Category:1920s films
 * Category:1930s films by year to Category:1930s films
 * Category:1940s films by year to Category:1940s films
 * Category:1950s films by year to Category:1950s films
 * Category:1960s films by year to Category:1960s films
 * Category:1970s films by year to Category:1970s films
 * Category:1980s films by year to Category:1980s films
 * Category:1990s films by year to Category:1990s films
 * Category:2000s films by year to Category:2000s films
 * Category:2010s films by year to Category:2010s films
 * Category:2020s films by year to Category:2020s films
 * Nominator's rationale: Pointless category layer. In each case, the only parent category is the merge target listed above.
 * Each "Cat:YYY0s films by year" can only ever contain ten category pages. e.g. Category:1950s films by year can only ever contain Category:1950 films, Category:1951 films ... Category:1959 films.
 * The only case I can see for keeping these categories would be if it helped organise the parent decade category, but it doesn't. The largest "Category:YYY0s films" is Category:2010s films, which currently has 54 subcats.  Adding a further nine subcats (i.e. one per each of the tens year, minus the deleted container) won't overload Category:2010s films, and the years will sort neatly at the start of the list. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:21, 5 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Tagging: Categories all tagged. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:33, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Notifications: WikiProject Film has been notified. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:38, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Series creator Coder Dan has been notified. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:45, 5 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Contributor's rationale: The point of decade-by-year categories and their navigation templates is to help users do historical surveys. &mdash;Coder Dan (talk) 20:01, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * @Coder Dan, how is that aided by a decade-by-year category rather than just a decade category?
 * For example, how does Category:1900s films by year help historical surveys in a way which cannot be done (or not done as well) by Category:1900s films. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:58, 5 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete Un-needed layer.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 08:05, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting davidson media group radio stations


 * Nominator's rationale: It seems Davidson Media Group has no radio stations. -- wooden superman  16:20, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, as creator. Similar to the associated template, the company has sold off their stations over time. Mlaffs (talk) 01:18, 6 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete. If the company has sold off its radio stations and no longer has any left to categorize, then the category is no longer necessary. Bearcat (talk) 15:11, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Propose deleting automobiles with hidden headlamps


 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING category - type of headlamp is not a common way to categorize a car (such as classification or body style). Vossanova o&lt; 14:41, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Creator's rationale: - I see what you're saying. My rebuttal though is that there are numerous other categories which group vehicles/cars with notable technical features or design elements and they seem to have proved themselves relevant. For instance "Automobiles with gull-wing doors", "Automobiles with backbone chassis", "Vehicles with four-wheel steering", "Vehicles with CVT transmission", and "Vehicles with wheel motors". Many of those articles have been around for over 10 years (since 2008), and even the newest created, "Vehicles with backbone chassis" has been around for 2 years and so have proved to have staying power. They all tackle niche, yet notable features, gull-wing doors, four-wheel steering, CVT transmissions, etc, that don't fit into a common categorization (classification, body style) and that people are likely to be interested in. I see no reason why hidden headlamps wouldn't be at least as relevant, if not possibly more, than those features. Thank you for your consideration. TKOIII (talk) 15:25, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:OSE. DexDor(talk) 21:47, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Understandable, but other design features, like type of door, shouldn't really be categorized as well, for the same non-defining reason. I would instead suggest such categories be converted/merged into lists (see WP:CPN). --Vossanova o&lt; 16:46, 11 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom before we get categories for things like cars with retractable radio aerials, cars whose boot/trunk can be unlocked from the dashboard etc. DexDor(talk) 21:47, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Actually, I think I could withdraw this one, as I've just added Derek and Clive, Pete and Dud, Not Only But Always and Pete and Dud: Come Again, two of which are characters he co-created, the other two are works about him (and Dudley Moore). -- wooden  superman  14:10, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - here there are dozens of articles and 6 subcats in the 'works' subcat (should Category:Adaptations of works by W. Somerset Maugham be in Category:Works by W. Somerset Maugham?). There needs to be some general extra discussion on circumstances when an eponymous category is justifiable. Oculi (talk) 10:03, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * We don't need an eponymous category that only contains a works category. The dozens of articles and subcats are correctly in the works tree, this does not add anything.  -- wooden  superman  09:15, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It adds a substantial category to Category:Wikipedia categories named after English writers. Oculi (talk) 16:37, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
 * By that reckoning, everyone with works in Category:Works by English writers should have an eponymous categories, which is clearly against the spirit of WP:OCEPON. -- wooden  superman  16:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and per WP:OCEPON. The categories are adequately interlinked; no need for this eponcat. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:03, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
