 * The result of the discussion was: do not merge. MER-C 16:25, 17 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Propose merging the following to Category:Drafts about media and drama:
 * Category:Marvel Cinematic Universe drafts‎
 * Category:Marvel drafts
 * Category:Paramount Pictures drafts‎
 * Category:Sony drafts
 * Category:Sony's Marvel Universe drafts‎
 * Category:Spider-Verse film franchise drafts‎
 * Category:The Walt Disney Company drafts‎
 * Nominator's rationale: Overcategorization. Trivialist (talk) 14:45, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose Deleting this is the exact opposite of what we should be doing. There are hundreds of media drafts which are impossible to keep track of because they're all just lumped together in the gigantic "Drafts about media and drama" disaster. Some of those child categories might be small, but it helps navigation to have at least some of them. I don't see why draft categories should be held to different standards than regular categories, and considering both the Marvel and Disney drafts categories have about 30 drafts each so they far beyond qualify.★Trekker (talk) 21:04, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't it make more sense to have broader subcategories, like "Film drafts" or "Television program drafts"? Categorizing by studio seems overly specific. Trivialist (talk) 23:05, 9 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The reason categorization by studio makes sense is that there are editors with a particular interest in film series set within a particular studio. Note also that the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" is actually not limited to films, but also includes upcoming Disney+ television series. The one change I would make would be to merge Category:Spider-Verse film franchise drafts‎ up to Category:Sony's Marvel Universe drafts‎, as both are small enough that nothing will get lost in the shuffle. bd2412  T 03:46, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose as mentioned above it make sense to do it this way Fanoflionking 22:39, 10 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose. It's so much more helpful to keep track of pages within smaller specific categories instead of large jumbled messes like "media and drama". Paintspot Infez (talk) 01:57, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename as nominated. I will leave the small vs capital C question to be properly addressed, systematically, in another debate. MER-C 16:29, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Vice-Chancellors by university in Bangladesh to Category:Vice-Chancellors of universities in Bangladesh
 * Nominator's rationale: To include those without an eponymous category Rathfelder (talk) 14:03, 9 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Speedy rename as per nom. Dead.rabbit (talk) 17:10, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. I am assuming that afterwards Category:Bangladeshi academic administrators will be merged into it. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:31, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Question - Shouldn't it be Category:Vice-chancellors of universities in Bangladesh (lowercase "chancellors")? -- Black Falcon (talk) 03:27, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I did wonder about that, but all the Vice-Chancellors categories have two capital letters, so if we want to change them that is a bigger question. And I am planning to have another look at the academic administrator categories. Rathfelder (talk) 08:55, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
 * support (with lower case option). Peterkingiron (talk) 11:45, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support lower-case option. Shouldn't it be Category:Vice-chancellors of universities and colleges in Bangladesh, per Category:Universities and colleges in Bangladesh, Category:People by university or college in Bangladesh, Category:Heads of universities and colleges by country?

 * Propose renaming Category:Vice-Chancellors by university in Pakistan to Category:Vice-Chancellors of universities in Pakistan
 * Nominator's rationale: To include those where there is not an eponymous category - and to deter any more. Almost all the subcategories only have one article. Rathfelder (talk) 14:02, 9 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. I am assuming that afterwards Category:Pakistani academic administrators will be merged into it. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:35, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

 * If we want the lower case option somebody needs to propose that for the large number of existing categories affected.Rathfelder (talk) 20:09, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Capitalise Indian. Kailash29792 (talk)  04:56, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Do it. fer dous     05:10, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy rename per C2A, which covers exactly this. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 06:33, 9 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as a recreation of a category previously deleted.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 07:16, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Can I ask why exactly this makes sense? We diffuse all kinds of films based on language and nationality, why not for upcoming films?★Trekker (talk) 21:09, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment: It appears that the Upcoming category was a lot smaller when this category was considered unnecessary at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Film/Archive_54. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:21, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Speedy rename - simple capitalization change. Jmertel23 (talk) 11:26, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
