Category:List of film directional debuts

 * 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: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:01, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:List of film directional debuts to Category:Directorial debut films
 * Nominator's rationale: 1) It should be "directorial", not "directional". 2) "List of..." for the name of a category seems inappropriate. 3) We already have Category:Directorial debut films. DonIago (talk) 19:49, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete. All of the films in this category are already in an appropriate Category:Directorial debut films by year subcategory. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 03:17, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per Star.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 06:40, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Category:DYK/Empty categories

 * 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: WP:SOFTDELETE (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 15:39, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting dyk/empty categories
 * Nominator's rationale: Pointless tracking category. If a category is empty, it is either ok and meant to be at times empty, or not valid and should be deleted. If it should be deleted, it automatically appears in empty category lists and people take care of it. Since this category does not even have documentation it is not even clear if it is ever used.

 * Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary WP:SMALLCATs for the intersection of a particular genre of film with a particular year of release, for years which generally had only one or two films to so categorize. In the contemporary era, LGBT-themed films are obviously common enough that diffusing a decade category into individual year categories makes sense for size management purposes; for example, the smallest individual year subcategory in has 72 films in it, and even  already has 30 films in it even though the year isn't even half over yet. But in the 1950s and earlier, notable LGBT-themed films were extremely rare, such that the largest of any of these categories has just six articles in it and only one other category surpasses three articles, absolutely none of these decades cracked 30 LGBT-related films across the entire decade let alone just the first half of a single year, and every one of these decades batched here has at least two years where there are no categories at all because there aren't any films to categorize in them. Even in the lists of LGBT-related films, we only have separate lists per year from 1960 on, and for 1959 and before we just have by decade lists, because there just aren't enough films to justify splitting them up by year. This is really only useful if all ten year categories can be created and populated over SMALLCAT right off the bat, because the decade category already had dozens or hundreds of films in it — if the entire decade had fewer LGBT-related films than just the first half of 2021 alone, and there are some years in said decade where a category can't even be created at all because there were no LGBT-related films to file in it, then obsessively subcatting them all by year instead of decade isn't aiding navigation. (Plus, for added bonus, almost every film in any of these categories was left in the decade category alongside the individual year subcategory, so upmerging these won't even make the decade categories appreciably larger.)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:16, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Stanisław Wyspiański to Category:Works by Stanisław Wyspiański
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON. Besides the eponymous article, this category has articles about 2 stained glass windows and 1 drama play by this versatile artist. Place Clichy (talk) 14:47, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Object. I have no issue with creating the subcategory, but the main SW is needed (for the future). Pl Wikipedia's equivalent is much better populated: pl:Kategoria:Stanisław Wyspiański. There was a museum dedicated to him (now defunct), several monuments and a bunch of institutions named after him, including two awards, and pl wiki has a bio of his educator/caretaker pl:Kazimierz Stankiewicz. Eventually, those articles will be translated and will populate our category. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:59, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that categories are not supposed to contain articles just named after the subject. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:28, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:26, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Rename for Now Per nomination and truth in advertising. No objection to recreating this category if/when it has 5+ potential direct articles and passes WP:OCEPON. - RevelationDirect (talk) 23:54, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: This tree is a mess. There are 4 categories here, all titled slightly different with largely overlapping pages and categories and no real clear distinction what does what. All content should be merged into one category. Gonnym (talk) 10:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:55, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Dualism to Category:Dichotomies
 * Nominator's rationale: merge, unclear how the scope of this category differs from the scope of the target, other than as a case of WP:SHAREDNAME. Note that in article space Dualism is a disambiguation page, we may likewise consider turning the category page into a category disambiguation page. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:41, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Merge Seems to be WP:SHAREDNAME in practice, especially given the lack of a main article to anchor this topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 11:30, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
