 * The result of the discussion was: merge. MER-C 09:17, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting mayors of kelowna


 * Nominator's rationale: As per WP:SMALLCAT and, optionally and additionally, WP:TRIVIALCAT potentially. Contains only three articles, one of which is currently in AfD. At any rate, categories with 4 or fewer articles are considered within the purview of WP:SMALLCAT. Propose deleting and upmerging the three (3) articles to Category:Mayors of places in British Columbia. Doug Mehus (talk) 21:05, 18 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom, but also merge to Category:Kelowna city councillors if appropriate, or else to Category:People from Kelowna. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:58, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Category:China museum stubs to Category:Chinese museum stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: Standard for museum stub categories (and the parent building and structure stub categories) is Fooian, not Foo. Grutness... wha?   10:28, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Doesnt make sense to subdivide UK for online companies Rathfelder (talk) 20:19, 23 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I have removed Housesimple because an estate agent is not a retailer.
 * Why not also merge to the other parent Category:Retail companies of England? – Fayenatic  L ondon 14:16, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I dont object to that. Rathfelder (talk) 14:18, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Comment, in this Wikipedia tree the word "of" means "based in", it does not mean "serving". So we can easily populate this category if it is kept. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:10, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:Fox Channel

 * 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. MER-C 10:19, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Fox Channel to Category:Fox International
 * Nominator's rationale: All of Fox-branded channels around the world are owned by Disney, and now unrelated with Fox Broadcasting Company, which it origins. Ridwan97 (talk) 23:12, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Oppose - At first glance, use of the Fox brand (with its historical implications) seems to be more WP:defining than present-day ownership. Articles and categories about these channels cover their entire history, not only the Disney period. Place Clichy (talk) 13:59, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Category:Distance education in France

 * The result of the discussion was: no action taken, discussion deferred to the bundled nomination below. MER-C 18:14, 24 October 2019 (UTC)1
 * Propose merging Category:Distance education in France to Category:Education in France
 * Nominator's rationale: Just 1 subcategory Rathfelder (talk) 20:14, 6 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Just delete, the subcat already is in Category:Educational institutions in France. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:18, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Category:Distance education by country is an established category tree with 28 subcategories, not all of which is found under Category:Distance education institutions by country. Most of these country-level categories have expansion potential. Category:Distance education is encyclopaedia material. BTW, why not a bundled nomination? Place Clichy (talk) 13:59, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Only 3 of the country-level categories have more than one or two entries. I'm not convinced its a workable scheme. I'd like to know what other people think. Rathfelder (talk) 15:06, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The better populated country categories should be converted to distance education institutions in order to fit in the tree of Category:Distance education institutions by country. That other tree is the tree that has expansion potential. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:41, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * If there is a bundled nomination to rename all Distance education in XYZ categories to Distance education institutions in XYZ, I would certainly be favourable to that. The isolated nominations here did not make it obvious that this was the intention. Place Clichy (talk) 12:55, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Would support a bundled nom as well, do you want to convert this to a bundle and relist? --Trialpears (talk) 23:59, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 * If people think it's a good idea, certainly. I agree that the best way is to merge these into Category:Distance education institutions by country. Rathfelder (talk) 07:13, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
