 * Propose renaming:


 * Category:United States film biography stubs to Category:American film biography stubs
 * Category:United States film director stubs to Category:American film director stubs
 * Category:United States film director, 1890s birth stubs to Category:American film director, 1890s birth stubs
 * Category:United States film director, 1950s birth stubs to Category:American film director, 1950s birth stubs
 * Category:United States film director, 1960s birth stubs to Category:American film director, 1960s birth stubs
 * Nominator's rationale: These categories seem to be the only ones that use "United States" over "American", as seen in the subcategories of . These should be renamed for consistency and mainly because calling these articles United States film foo stubs sounds awkward to begin with. — ξ xplicit  22:33, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: I see no reason why we should tackle just the film biography stub tree. There are a lot more "United States ... stubs" right now. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:33, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I noticed that recently. I plan to go down the entire tree, I just have to find the time. — ξ xplicit  16:01, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * We have over 300 "United States ... stubs", but only 107 "American ... stubs. I'm not sure which is better, but unless there's a clear concensus towards the latter, I oppose these renames. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:07, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Compare the eight "Canada... stubs" to the 100+ "Canadian... stubs"; six "Scotland... stubs" to 31 "Scottish... stubs". If anything, the entire tree is a mess, so a nomination to bring it into line one way or the other is in order. I'll gather things up and relist it when I do get around to it. — ξ xplicit  19:28, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
