 * Propose renaming Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker to Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954)
 * Nominator's rationale: rename, aligning with Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954). An alternative rename was opposed at WP:CFDS. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:46, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker to Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker (born 1954) – C2D per Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954). Please don't keep the old page title as a relink, because there are two German directors of the same name – this is the other: Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1910). The article Wolfgang Becker that corresponded to this category name, is now a disambiguation page. Sprachraum (talk) 09:05, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose as proposed The main article is Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954), so this should be renamed to . Armbrust The Homunculus 09:07, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, I considered that too, but it seems needlessly redundant. "directed by" already makes obvious that he is a director. Here is an example that doesn't copy the whole article title either: , where the article name is Zhang Yang (director). In Wolfgang Becker's case one can't drop the parentheses completely, because there is also the director born in 1910, but analog to Zhang Yang I would drop the word "director" from the parentheses. --Sprachraum (talk) 01:22, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * While that may be true, your proposed title doesn’t fit the criteria you chose. Armbrust The Homunculus 07:31, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , I would appreciate you being more constructive about this. What you seem to be saying, is that the name I propose is fine, but I should have tagged it with a different C2-whatever, therefore you oppose it. (And you don't bother to tell me what criteria-tag I should have used instead.) This sort of bureaucratic obstinacy is not helpful. I've found plenty more category names where it was done like I propose, many of which don't even bother to show the full name with parentheses in the introduction text: Films directed by Mike Mitchell, Films directed by George Marshall, Films directed by Robert Stevenson, Films directed by Michael Anderson, Films directed by John Glen. I've also found some (but far fewer) who do it the redundant way: . If there is a rule that says one of these methods is incorrect, I haven't found it yet. So if the name is fine, please don't waste my time opposing it. I chose C2D because (quote): "the page was just moved after a page move discussion resulted in explicit consensus to rename". --Sprachraum (talk) 12:14, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this would require a full discussion because the proposed category name is actually diverging from the name of the article, not reproducing it. C2D does not apply. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Well congratulations everyone! What a fine time-and-motivation sapping bureaucracy you have built up here, where no-one engages on the substance of the proposition, but only keeps on telling me that I haven't jumped through the right C2-hoop – without telling me which hoop I should have jumped through! (Or why that even matters, if the name is ok.) It feels like a scene from one of my favourite movies, Terry Gilliam's Brazil. So then, please move this to the hallowed full discussion harbour, where someone will actually explain to me, why all the category examples I linked to are wrong – or why this is different, because... --Sprachraum (talk) 04:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * , it's not really bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake. There is a substantive issue here. I would oppose a category name that would diverge from the article name. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:43, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Oppose this version and instead propose Category:Films directed by Wolfgang Becker (born 1954) – which was my original proposed name change at Speedy Rename. That is what should be discussed here, because no-one engaged on the actual merits of that name at the previous discussion. It was opposed solely because it doesn't meet the exact C2D speedy criteria.

To sum up: Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954) used to be at Wolfgang Becker, which is now a DAB page, since there is another German film director of this name: Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1910) – who I had moved from his previous name page Wolfgang Becker (editor) – see (DAB-discussion here). Obviously a new category name is warranted; there were four films from WB (* 1954) in it, and one from WB (* 1910), before I came along.

My naming choice keeps it simpler, since "Films directed by" already makes the "director" part clear. Repeating that in the parentheses is redundant. I looked at over 500 existing category names of film directors to see how they deal with a "director" disambiguation, and the vast majority of similar cases don't include (director) in the category name, e.g.: Films directed by Mike Mitchell, Films directed by George Marshall, Films directed by Robert Stevenson, Films directed by Michael Anderson, Films directed by John Glen, Films directed by Zhang Yang – I could go on. There are a couple of examples for the redundant version, like, but these are far less common. There doesn't seem to be a fixed rule on this, or at least no-one is combing through these categories and changing names in order to conform to one standard only. If such a standard were to be set up, I would also support the less redundant version. --Sprachraum (talk) 23:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * There are some exceptions and possibly they simply have been overlooked but the default is to align with the main article. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Rename per Nom favor matching the main article per WP:C2D. (Alt Rename per Sprachraum is still better than the current name though.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:28, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Agree that alt rename per Sprachraum is still better than the current name. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Rename per nom . I think the reference to the director in the category name should match Wolfgang Becker (director, born 1954). has pointed to some examples where the director's name in the category is formatted differently than the name in the article. I am of the opinion that those are mis-named categories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:15, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Category:School districts in Australia

 * 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 (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 13:00, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting school districts in australia


 * Nominator's rationale: "School districts" don't exist in Australia in the sense that they exist in other countries like the US. In Australia, public schools are run by the state governments. The state governments do setup various regional administrative structures, but those are completely non-notable, few people outside of school staff and bureaucrats pay attention to them. Very different from the US, where school districts have elections and levy taxes and public meetings – these regional admin structures are essentially just a group of managerial and administrative staff who look after government-run schools in a given area. And then only thrown in here is an article about Catholic schools in a single diocese – are dioceses of the Catholic Church "school districts"? The Catholic Church runs a lot of schools worldwide, and many (but not all) of these schools are owned by the dioceses. Anyway, I get the impression this category is motivated by "America has X so every other country must too", which isn't true. I think this category makes no sense and should be deleted. Mr248 (talk) 20:45, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Addendum: I have nominated two out of the three articles in this category for deletion: Articles for deletion/List of school education areas in New South Wales, Articles for deletion/List of education districts in Queensland Mr248 (talk) 21:28, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

The proposal is to merge to 2nd level administrative division, except cities and larger towns, in this case except Katerini (58,000 people). This is follow-up on this earlier nomination.

 * Propose merging Category:People from Megisti (municipality) to Category:People from Rhodes (regional unit)
 * Nominator's rationale: merge for consistency, this is part of a series to upmerge 3rd and 4th level administrative divisions of Greece to 2nd level. This nomination is different than usual though, because the proposal is to keep island level for the time being. This is follow-up on this earlier nomination. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:24, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: rename. There seemed to be some confusion. The RM resulted in the article being moved to Pateros, but it was an RM from Aug 2020. This CFD gained some support and some confused comments, but no explicit opposition, so we'll go with renaming. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:55, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Category:Recipients of the Order of Duke Branimir
<div class="boilerplate cfd vfd xfd-closed" style="background:#bff9fc; margin:0 auto; padding:0 10px 0 10px; border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">
 * 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) 02:15, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of Duke Branimir
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OVERLAPCAT, WP:PERFCAT and WP:OCAWARD)
 * The Order of Duke Branimir is a Croation award for international relations. There are definitely a wide range of people in this category: Sir Fitzroy Maclean had a close relationship with the country and might be defined by the award while US Senator Orrin Hatch seems to have received it because he was friends with a Croatian basketball player in college (official press release). In between those extremes, it's often given to foreign ambassadors of friendly nations who are already somewhere under Category:Ambassadors to Croatia.
 * The award was also given to the entire 2018 Croatian FIFA World Cup team while the reasons for other domestic recipients are obscure. The articles generally mention the award in passing with other honours. The category contents are now listed right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of the Order of the Crown (Iran)
 * Nominator's rationale: WP:NONDEFINING (WP:OCAWARD, WP:PERFCAT)
 * When royalty and other officials visited Iran, the Order of the Crown (Iran) was given out as souvenir. Olav V of Norway, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain, and Fuad I of Egypt are not remotely defined by the award. (There are also a few high ranking people from Iran like the Shah, Prime Minister Hossein Ala', and Imam Aga Khan IV but they tend to mention the award in passing with other honours.) There wasn't a list so I created one right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Background In the past, we've deleted dozens of similar categories for high ranking visitors and those nominations are listed right here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
