 * Propose deleting american primetime television dramas
 * Nominator's rationale: Very underpopulated category without clear differentiation from . With the exception of daytime soap operas, which already have their own separate category anyway, all other drama series on American television are inherently primetime dramas, because primetime is when American television runs any and all scripted fiction series that aren't daytime soap operas. Which means there should literally be thousands of articles in this category, because there have been thousands of prime time television dramas produced in the United States since television first became a thing, but there are actually just 15 -- and since they're all already categorized in by-decade categories like and/or genre categories like  as it is, and a fully populated category would be too large and need to be diffused anyway, there's no pressing need for this to exist as a separate category from the drama television series tree that already exists. Bearcat (talk) 19:37, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete, primetime is a too common characteristic of notable television series. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:26, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Category:Songs about months

 * Nominator's rationale: Generally, these songs are linked because of name, fails WP:SHAREDNAME. Then the songs are about something that happened/was imagined to have happened one month, not about THE month. Many of the articles are silent about what the lyrics are about.
 * Previous category deletion discussions also apply: Days of the week and Days Richhoncho (talk) 10:48, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete, very rarely an article elaborates on what the song is about and if it does (e.g. in April Fools (song) it does not mention it is about any month. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:37, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Category:Makhnovism

 * The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Makhnovshchina. (non-admin closure) Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:18, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Makhnovism to Category:Makhnovshchina
 * Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure how this category got the name "Makhnovism", given that I can't find any real coverage in my sources referencing this term. The only reference I've found is a brief mention by Voline in Peters (1970), and this is hardly enough to justify a whole category being named as such. I propose this be renamed "Makhnovshchina", as this term roughly translates to "Makhno movement", which better encapsulates the articles within the category. Grnrchst (talk) 09:45, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Support per nom and to match parent article. czar  18:41, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Makhnovshchina is clearly the main article. By the way, the reason for the category's current name is there once was an article titled Makhnovism but it has since been redirected. Charles Essie (talk) 20:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: These categories collect together songs written ‘about’ disparate events, some factual, some fictional, some at the whim of an editor, all at the whim of the songwriter! There is no value to readers to linking Amelia Earhart, Amy Johnson and FDR because they were involved in disparate events that happened in the same decade. NB They are not 'songs about' but songs about events that might have happened... Richhoncho (talk) 09:41, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * These might be kept as subcategory of Category:Songs based on actual events. If so, Category:Songs about decades should be renamed to Category:Songs based on actual events by decade. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Category:Songs about the 1900s was emptied. Liz Read! Talk! 04:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Here's an idea: how about we create Category:Songs about years and Songs about decades and selectively recategorize the articles there? These two could be subcats of Category:Songs based on actual events per Marcocapelle. Otherwise, I'm leaning delete per nom. JBchrch   talk  14:42, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * There won't be enough content to populate year categories decently. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:57, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:National Front (France) to Category:National Rally (France)
 * Nominator's rationale: They're the same party. Charles Essie (talk) 02:54, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge per nom, but keep Category:National Front (France) as a redirect, since this may still be the best known name. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:47, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea. Charles Essie (talk) 03:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Merge, same party but renamed.-- Mvqr (talk) 10:55, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Books about Chechnya to Category:Books about Russia
 * Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article. Marcocapelle (talk) 02:05, 9 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Merge Category is indeed too small. Abhishek0831996 (talk) 06:37, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Populate if possible. I expect there are some books about the Checnya war, for example.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:12, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
