  • Propose renaming Category:Ancient China video games to Category:Video games set in historical periods of China
Nominator's rationale: Rename. I am guessing, that User:Ham Pastrami, do not realize that not all periods in Chinese history would consider Ancient China. Which is why I have removed the category Category:Ancient China and proposed to be rename as Category:Video games set in historical periods of China or a more appropriate title. NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:03, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like this category includes both historical periods ((Imperial, Ancient) which works with this proposal as well as ethno-regions (Mongolia/Manchuria) which don't work as well. Maybe Category:Video games set in historical China would work to include all four? If not, I'm not opposed to the original rename.RevelationDirect (talk) 19:32, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I love your proposed name, RevelationDirect, simpler yet better than mine.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 20:10, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So, when's the category going be change?--NeoBatfreak (talk) 05:50, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:46, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Rename. C2C. NeoBatfreak (talk) 21:57, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Including non-fiction then.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 19:04, 30 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment you are the nominator, exactly what are you opposing? -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 04:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as you the nominator removed "Oppose" from your statement per [1] ; exactly what's your statement now?
Not sure that including non-fiction is actualy the case. Take a look at Category:Works by empire of setting. "Setting" seems to imply fiction in practice. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:19, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That you want to expand the scope to include non-fiction? -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 09:41, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support original proposal, as I don't understand why non-fiction needs to be excluded. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:11, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 18:04, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Roman Catholic Church novels

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:Roman Catholic novels for now, without prejudice to further consideration of the other proposals in the future. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:14, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:: The current category name is confusing, as it may suggest that these novels are being published by the Catholic Church. The proposed rename gets rid of this possible confusion. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:47, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Category:Novels by genre with subcats fooian novels, in particular Category:Christian novels with grandchild Category:Roman Catholic Church novels
  2. Category:Novels by topic with subcats novels about foo
Your suggestion might be translated as to move the Christian novels from 'genre' to 'topic' and name the categories: Category:Novels about Christianity; Category:Novels about Catholicism. That would definitely be worthwhile to consider.
Marcocapelle (talk) 20:40, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you please elaborate how you would distinguish between Category:Novels about Christianity and Category:Christian novels? Wouldn't that become too subjective? Marcocapelle (talk) 19:04, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • IMHO it will be usually be clear. Allegorical novels like Pilgrim's Progress or the more recent Hinds' Feet on High Places are Christian novels. We can probably assume that novels published by a specifically Christian imprint are Christian novels. Most of the nominated category are probably not Christian novels, e.g. Graham Greene's works, but The Robe is. The categories should have "see also" navigation links between them anyway, so finding the contents will be no harder than at present. – Fayenatic London 21:57, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm entirely neutral towards whether or not to make this additional split. Just for curiosity, who is actually going to execute this split if that's going to be the final decision? Marcocapelle (talk) 21:28, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
After a night of sleep I've become a bit hesitant about this split after all. It's not only us who need to understand the difference between Category:Novels about Christianity and Category:Christian novels, but it should be anyone who classifies a novel in these fields who should understand the difference and that's something I'm getting doubts about.

Category:Roman Catholic Church art

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Roman Catholic art for now. Further discussion on related points can continue. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:17, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:: The current category name is confusing, as it may suggest that this art is exclusively sponsored by the Catholic Church. The proposed rename gets rid of this possible confusion. Marcocapelle (talk) 21:47, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Films produced by Nicole Kidman

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:44, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT (unlikely to grow beyond a few entries), and the producer is not a defining characteristic of a film (the director is, however). Nymf (talk) 15:40, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Valve timing tradenames

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: merge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:45, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OC#Overlapping. It looks like the these were created without awareness of each other because neither is a parent of the other and the articles seemedd randomly placed in each (or both) before I sorted them in good faith not realizing this nomination was forthcoming. The categories now overlap each other except for lead article and 3 generic articles (1, 2, 3). Category:Variable valve timing is superior because it has a main article and the tradename category places this under the Marketing/Advertising category trees when the articles cover mechanical design and smog/mileage compliance rather than consumer marketing. There is room for improvement for categorization by untangling Lift from Timing, but I don't think the branded/unbranded breakdown is useful. And not a single article documents that the term has a Trademark, the defining criteria for this category.RevelationDirect (talk) 12:02, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: upmerge. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:42, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose upmerging Category:Dutch members of Calvinist political parties to Category:Dutch members of Protestant political parties
Nominator's rationale:: In general Dutch Protestantism and Dutch Calvinism almost coincide - and in politics they completely coincide because there is no political party that specifically targets non-Calvinist Protestants. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:29, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 19:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This is an old categorization tree which has become redundant after a new and more refined categorization tree Category:Christian saints by period has been introduced. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:50, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There was extensive debate last year about the Ante-Nicene/Ancient Christian name; the former was the consensus. If you want to re-open the debate, that's a whole new CFD proposal. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:09, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2nd-century Christian saints

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: do not rename, though several users seem open to other approaches in perhaps eliminating gender divisions in these categories. Good Ol’factory (talk) 05:18, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale:: The current structure is:
Suggest to name both categories after their gender and rearrange the categories such that they become brother and sister category instead of parent and child category. Note: this would apply similarly to all XX-th century Christian saints. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:28, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would be okay with any of the two latter proposals, but my preference would be to take over JPL's suggestion. Just generally, I tend to think there are many by-gender childcats in Wikipedia that aren't all as relevant for the topic (see also the pending CfD about Women historians).

Category:Ontario road transport articles without KML

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: withdrawn. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:49, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: According to Template:Canada Roads WikiProject, articles without the KML parameter are supposed to go to Category:Canada road articles without KML. However, the code was changed here without any other of the categories being moved so I reverted that except Ontario which still exists. I'd guess the prior naming is the convention to be used. Ricky81682 (talk) 06:57, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, then nomination withdrawn. A number of the categories in the template don't match the categories created. Let me try to get it all consistent then. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:43, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
