Nominator's rationaile: Per the discussion and closing statement at this CfD, nominating the rest of the contents of Category:Television programming by language for renaming from "series"/"shows" to "programming". As mentioned there, this is a neutral term that avoids ambiguity and confusion both on content grounds and on WP:ENGVAR, provides uniformity throughout the tree, and also matches the scheme of the category tree, Category:Television programming>Category:Television programming by language. (Note that regardless of the result of this discussion, following its close I will likely propose some sort of splitting for the truly massive English-language category.) - The Bushranger One ping only 22:10, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are ignoring the shows/series issues. Everyone who has TV has TV programming, that is what occurs on TV. There is no Engvar issue with that term, in fact the person who came up with it is not America, so to claim it is American will not work.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:11, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Events in the Thirteen Colonies

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: keep. There was a consensus here not to rename as needed, and the nomination was procedurally flawed becuase the sub-categories were neither listed in the nomination nor tagged. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:21, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There are >150 categories for "(Dis)Establishments in the Thirteen Colonies by (Year/Century/Decade)" ranging from 1607 to 1776. This category name is confusing and anachronistic, both as there weren't thirteen colonies until 1733 and because some establishments (such as Plymouth Colony and Wessagusset Colony) aren't technically in the thirteen. Propose renaming the whole lot of them to "... in the British colonies of North America" for all articles >1707 and " ... in the English colonies of North America" for prior to 1707. Alternatively "British North America" may be used, but that term generally refers to the colonies that would become Canada.

The result of the discussion was: no action. The heading says "propose deleting", but the rationale says merge without bothering to naming the target category. Feel free to make a nomination which explains what is proposed and doesn't contradict itself ... but please stop wasting other editors time with incoherent or ill-explained nominations. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:39, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge to subcat and delete. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:46, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Mayors of Basilan

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: rename to Category:Mayors of places in Basilan. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:11, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Mayors of Basilan to Category:Mayors in Basilan
Nominator's rationale: Basilan is a province (and an island), not a town or a city, so it is not headed by mayors. These are mayors in towns and cities in Basilan. –HTD 13:42, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Basilan is a province, but it is managed one level down by municipal mayors (below the governor). So "Mayors of Basilan" (the mayors that Basilan possesses) seems to make sense to me more than "Mayors in Basilan" (they mayors that are geographically located in Basilan). That said, they're both somewhat awkward compromises forced by the naming conventions. I guess the most accurate would be "Mayors of towns of Basilan", but that's silly. I don't think it's worth changing, but I would suggest "Municipal mayors of Basilan" would be a reasonable compromise. 72.235.9.160 (talk) 06:58, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would've been in favor of "Mayors of towns of Basilan", as it's not that silly, considering there's Category:Mayors of places in the Philippines... in fact I'd go with "Mayors of places in Basilan", as a town and a city are quite different, but both are headed by mayors.
"Municipal mayors of Basilan" implies that Basilan is headed a mayor when it isn't. Unless there are a better naming scheme elsewhere, I'd go with "Mayors of places in Basilan". –HTD 19:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Lakas Kampi – Christian Muslim Democrats politicians

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: renameCategory:Lakas Kampi – Christian Muslim Democrats politicians to Category:Lakas–CMD politicians per nominator.
The proposed additional renaming of Category:Lakas – Christian Muslim Democrats politicians‎ to Category:Lakas–CMD (original) politicians also received consensus support here, but since it had bot been tagged for renaming we cannot assume that this consensus is properly formed. A further nomination woukd be required for that one to proceed. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:16, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: To correspond with the article which is at Lakas–CMD. –HTD 13:38, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I realize there's Category:Lakas – Christian Muslim Democrats politicians‎ (for the original Lakas–CMD). In 2009, the original Lakas-CMD merged with KAMPI to form Lakas Kampi CMD, which renamed itself as "Lakas–CMD" in 2012. There's a big chance that politicians (who were alive when the parties merged) from the original and current Lakas-CMDs are the same, but these are of separate entities. I'm open on what to do here, but categorization for either party must be separate. –HTD 15:20, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Formula One race reports

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: Rename to XXX Formula One races. Timrollpickering (talk) 19:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Propose renaming:
64 subcategories: YYYY Formula One race reports → YYYY Formula One races
Nominator's rationale: Rename all. These categories are populated with articles about Formula One races, and that is how the categories should be named. The word "report" is form of self-reference; it is a property of the Wikipedia article, not of the topic. We categorise by the properties of the topic.
Including the word "reports" in the category title would be appropriate only if these categories contained articles which were about reports of the races, rather than about the races themselves.
If that is unclear, consider the how we categorise an article on a person. Those articles are categorised under Category:People, because they are articles about people; they are not categorised as biographies. Category:Biographies leads us to Category:Biographical works, which is for wikipedia articles which about biographies. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:20, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Redundant cat, since we already have Category:Cherry Red Records albums. There was previously one album contained here, which was Orgasm (John's Children album), but I've corrected that. Thanks. — sparklism hey! 08:50, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Category about a Melena del Sur, a little Cuban town, not provincial seat or other, with only 3 articles transcluded and no subcategories. IMHO redundant by now and WP:OVERCAT. Dэя-Бøяg 02:04, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
