 * The result of the discussion was: split (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 04:27, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose splitting Category:Parenting books to Category:Books about parenting and Category:Parenting advice books
 * Nominator's rationale: "Parenting books" can be taken to mean how-to/self-help books specifically or books about parenting more generally. I propose making Category:Books about parenting a parent category of Category:Parenting advice books. Cheers, gnu 57 15:55, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Support. Reasonable request. Separates the writing of researchers and scholars from the popular advice group. Binksternet (talk) 16:33, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Disambiguating between parenting as a topic and advice to parents. Dimadick (talk) 20:12, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Category:Beer in the State of Palestine

 * 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 * The result of the discussion was: speedy keep, effectively withdrawn (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 19:21, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Beer in the State of Palestine to Category:Beer in Palestine
 * Nominator's rationale: As with several similar categories in Beer by country, where all other state names are referred to in short form, not prefaced with "the state/republic of ...", Category:Beer in the State of Palestine should be referred to by its short-form name Category:Beer in Palestine - for a particularly apt parallel example in Beer by country, please note that Taiwan is not referred to as the "Republic of China" - Palestine should be treated similarly under WP:C2C guidelines — Iskandar 323 (talk) 06:18, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose for the usual reasons to avoid an unholy war. Laurel Lodged (talk) 09:10, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment @Laurel Lodged I don't think pages about beer are an especially likely source of contention. In any case, the principle of consistency shouldn't be buckled so readily, and the current format is deeply inconsistent with the master category page format — Iskandar 323 (talk) 09:35, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Since you already created Category:Beer in Palestine, why bother with a rename? The proposal is now effectively a merge. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:18, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment @Laurel Lodged Yes, I had migrated the entries to the new page, and was going enquire what to do about the original, but I was instructed by @Liz that this was the wrong way to go about it. You're right that the proposal is now effectively a merger. Do I need to go about it differently in that case? – Iskandar 323 (talk) 10:38, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose - reverse merge, per Category:Companies based in the State of Palestine and everything else in the local category Category:State of Palestine (which takes priority over 'Beer by country'). Oculi (talk) 22:36, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - @Oculi Ok, that makes sense - hadn't realised everything was categorised like this under Category:State of Palestine. I can't help but feel the overall categorisation solution is disagreeable, but I can hardly argue with the direction in which the weight of the existing body of material leans. You are welcome to close this proposed renaming request and merge. I have also tagged the duplicate Category:Beer in Palestine page for speedy deletion (it is empty) - so whichever comes first: that or a merger — Iskandar 323 (talk) 06:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose for the reasons above ans also because State of Palestine is different to the historic Palestine. Grutness... wha?   02:34, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Propose renaming Category:Rail transport in fiction to Category:Fiction about rail transport
 * Nominator's rationale: As with several similar categories, to ensure that entries have this subject matter as a defining trait_ which, from the titles alone, most of them do. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 04:50, 30 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Support, more clearly phrased as a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:51, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
