The result of the discussion was: keep, and keep the sub-categories in it; but there is no objection to removing articles that are inappropriately categorised here. – Fayenatic London 00:25, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: remove articles from category, as they are a mere random selection of articles from the tree of Category:Ancient Christianity; upmerge the child categories to both parents Category:Church Fathers and Category:Ancient Christianity studies, per WP:SMALLCAT.

  • (as nom) Containerizing would also be an acceptable outcome. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:44, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then in what respect are these articles more coherent beyond being about Ancient Christianity? Marcocapelle (talk) 05:58, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • So which of the articles is about the study of Church Fathers by later scholars? They all seem to be history articles about the period of the Church Fathers. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:11, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The category seems to have changed considerably since I last looked it. The three sub-cats alone justify the category's existence. I don't think WP:SMALLCAT applies to categories with a small number of large sub-cats. I've never seen that argument advanced before, and the implications would be wide-ranging and damaging. Nothing in the WP:SMALLCAT text seems to justify this interpretation. Most of the actual articles there now could be removed. Johnbod (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree; the three subcats look good and this cat can be justified as a container. I would agree with the original nomination that most of the immediate membership doesn't belong. Mangoe (talk) 18:55, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Very unclear what this category is supposed to encompass. The vast majority of international organisations claim to be multiregional (and if they don't their claim to be truly international is suspect) Category:International organizations by region can be used for organisations which relate to more than one region. Maybe we need categories for the Arab world, French or Spanish speaking areas? Rathfelder (talk) 11:21, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:50, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: WP:OC#EPONYMOUS category for a web series which doesn't have the volume of spinoff content necessary to warrant one; all that's filed here is the eponym itself and an episode list — and even the episode list only has one episode to list, meaning that it has zero value as a standalone article and should be merged back into the main article. Every television or web series does not automatically get one of these just because it exists; it gets one only if and when there's a sizable number of related spinoff articles to file in it. Delete.

Category:Chinese television series by network

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 Category:Chinese television series by network to Category:Chinese television programmes by channel. A wider nomination to rename this category and all of its siblings consistently to either "series" or "programmes" may be a good idea. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:01, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose merging Category:Chinese television series by network to Category:Chinese television programmes by channel or Category:Chinese television programmes by channel to Category:Chinese television series by network
Nominator's rationale: Sibling categories in Category:Television series by network are allowed to be named "network" or "channel", depending on which term is more normative in their own dialectical context — however, there is no other example of any country where a "network" category and a "channel" category both exist as sibling categories for the same country. These should be merged under one name or the other, though I'm not sure which one should be retained as the target. Merge. Bearcat (talk) 03:02, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
