 * The result of the discussion was: keep.  bibliomaniac  1  5  04:54, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Seafood companies to Category:Fishing companies
 * Nominator's rationale: We have an article on fishing industry, but not on seafood industry (note: it was a red link, but I've created a redirect from seafood industry to fishing industry just now). In our article on the fishing industry, there is an (unreferenced...) claim that In the industry, the term seafood products is often used instead of fish products. However, our Category:Fishing companies is extremely underpopulated, whereas we have a better developed Category:Seafood companies. Since fish is a subcategory of seafood, and very few if any fishing companies don't fish other seafoods (shrimp, whatever), this means that practically while there may be a few tiny fishing-only small companies, fishing industry = seafood industry, and fishing company = seafood company. I think we should merge / rename our seafood company category to the fishing one (as such, this should result in renaming of Category:Seafood companies by continent and Category:Seafood companies by country. A move request may be needed for List of seafood companies. Thoughts? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:02, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I was a bit sceptical about it, but I cannot yet find companies in this tree that are not a fishing company. However, the subcategories should be nominated and renamed as well, otherwise the impact of the merge is negligable. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:09, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Meanwhile I have added two subcategories not consisting of fishing companies. Marcocapelle (talk) 23:11, 19 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose, as "seafood companies" would include those that are only involved in canning, preparation, or distribution rather than catching. And is aquaculture considered "fishing"? Marcocapelle, I checked the entries in Category:Seafood companies of the United States, and some are solely involved in post-harvest operations. DMacks (talk) 14:32, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Then I would suggest splitting between Category:Fishing companies and Category:Fish processing companies as they are completely different types of companies. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:13, 15 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment: The List of seafood companies → List of fishing companies req-move was closed as not-moved. DMacks (talk) 19:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose Seafood companies would probably include companies that own seafood restaurants (such as Phillips Foods, Inc. and Seafood Restaurants), rather than companies actually involved in fishing. Dimadick (talk) 04:20, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Category:Geophysical companies

 * The result of the discussion was: delete.  ✗  plicit  03:12, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose deleting geophysical companies
 * Nominator's rationale: This is a tough one. We don't have any article for geophysical company geophysical industry, and while the term has some use, I couldn't find a definition. This is problematic as if we cannot define this term, how can we categorize entities into it? I'd be more than happy if this is closed after somebody stubs a referenced entry on this topic, but if this cannot happen, then we have to ask - is this a useful category, or just some weird jargon placeholder with no clear criteria on how we add entities to it?

 * Delete, largely overlaps with Category:Oilfield services companies. A redirect is probably in order. If kept it should probably become a parent or child category of Category:Oilfield services companies. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:09, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete The category's scope is vague at best. Dimadick (talk) 04:21, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:Cheers (season 1) episodes to Category:Cheers episodes
 * Nominator's rationale: With articles on only 4 episodes of the series, a merge to the main episodes category seems appropriate, which itself only has articles for 7 more episodes. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 17:17, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
