Nominator's rationale: New World Television was folded into 20th Century Fox Television in 1997, NWT is defunct right now, all NWT shows must be moved to the category of their current distributor. 47.54.189.22 (talk) 15:08, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, you don't get to dictate the opinions other people are or aren't allowed to have in this discussion. Anybody gets to vote any way they want, and you don't get to tell them otherwise. Bearcat (talk) 23:42, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Again: you do not get to unilaterally dictate the outcome of a CFD discussion. Each individual contributor gets to hold and express their own opinion one way or the other, and you do not get to control who's allowed to participate. Bearcat (talk) 15:07, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Creativity-II wants the WBTV category back to what it was so we are to have the WHT category merged into the WBTV category, and all Lorimar shows must be moved to the WBTV category.
Warner Bros. owns HBO shows for distribution, so HBO shows like Everybody Loves Raymond, must be seen in the WBTV category.
Warner Bros. owns HBO shows like Politically Incorrect for distribution all HDP shows must be moved to the WBTV category.47.54.189.22 (talk) 15:22, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What Wikipedia policy or rule supports your interpretation of how these categories "must" work? And what Wikipedia policy or rule allows you to dictate the opinions that contributors are allowed to have or to express in the discussion? Bearcat (talk) 15:08, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: withdrawn following "merge" outcome below. – Fayenatic London 11:31, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose splitting Category:Lists of governors to Category:Lists of provincial and state governors and Category:Lists of governors and heads of non-sovereign entities, or similar, to follow the renamings of the corresponding categories being discussed below
  • Propose deleting Category:Governors
Nominator's rationale: Split the lists to two categories matching whatever names may be agreed in the discussion below, about governors of country subdivisions and of non-sovereign entities.
Delete Category:Governors as WP:SHAREDNAME; or perhaps convert it to a category disambiguation page. – Fayenatic London 14:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Provincial and state governors by country

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 and rename to Category:Governors and heads of sub-national entities. – Fayenatic London 11:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose merging Category:Provincial and state governors by country to Category:Governors and heads of state of non-sovereign entities
Revised proposal inserted on relisting
  • Propose renaming Category:Provincial and state governors by country to ???
  • Propose renaming Category:Governors and heads of state of non-sovereign entities to ???
Nominator's rationale: User @Scanlan: recently created a category which largely overlaps existing Governors and heads of state of non-sovereign entities. Also note the existence of Heads of government of non-sovereign entities. I asked the creator what was in their mind the difference in scope of these categories, with no answer so far. I am not sure that the title of governor or the by country mention justifies the creation of a new category, especially since the existing cat is already organised by country and that the new cat also includes leaders with a title different than provincial or state governor (Presidents of Italian Regions, Spanish Regional Presidents, Heads of government of Australian states and territories, Local executives of places in Taiwan etc.). Also, the category should probably not be restricted to current titles or current countries. Place Clichy (talk) 10:19, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
At this step I would like to invite @Scanlan: to explain why they created the new Category:Provincial and state governors by country and which scope it has in regard to existing categories. If this is the path of the discussion, where everyone seems to like the "new" name, we could consider a reverse merge. Place Clichy (talk) 21:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • It has the opposite problem; we don't want Gideon Gono showing up in Cat:Governors just because he was the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe. Of course, we could always add a text note saying basically "this is only for provincial, state, and comparable-jurisdiction governors, not governors of institutions of other types", and at worst we'd just have to prune the Gono-type contents every so often. As long as we have that text note, I'm fine with those names. Nyttend (talk) 21:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm a bit cold about this one. What would you place in Governors that wouldn't be in Governors by country? Also, what would be done with people holding a similar job but with a title different than Governor, such as subcategories Presidents of Italian Regions, Spanish Regional Presidents, Heads of government of Australian states and territories? They would be left out. Provincial and state governors is not that bad after all, we could maybe add or president or or equivalent to cover other types of offices, and leave out unrelated jobs also called governor such as the governor of a fortress, which is I believe not of interest here. Place Clichy (talk) 21:16, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Place Clichy, the "Governors" category would be occupied by governors from countries that don't have their own categories. "Governors by country" would be a container category, meant to hold nothing except national subcategories such as "Governors from Egypt", "Governors from the US", etc. Some countries won't have enough governor articles to warrant their own category, so the governors from those countries will get thrown into the general "Governors" category. Nyttend (talk) 00:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I have just tagged Category:Governors and heads of state of non-sovereign entities since the discussion now envisages renaming that one. So far only two editors favour merging and two oppose it, so there is no consensus to merge these categories, and all that remains is to agree new names. The first category contains heads of First-level administrative country subdivisions, whereas the second is for heads of colonies, islands and other territories, some of which may be "countries" but not sovereign states. As for "Heads of government", these are distinguished from "Heads of state"/governors, so I suggest leaving them out of this discussion. – Fayenatic London 14:28, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT Category with just one entry and unlikely to ever have more. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 15:12, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:IAR closing my own discussion, because it's been 10 days (3 over the 7-day discussion time) and there's no opposes. It's an uncontroversial request and probably should not have gone to CfD anyway. Moved. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 10:36, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Media from The Legend of Zelda series to Category:The Legend of Zelda media
Nominator's rationale: Only entry at Category:Nintendo media and its parent Category:Video game media to be named under the "Media from [name]" format instead of "[name] media". Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 07:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Supposed Christian theologians

The result of the discussion was: merge to Category:Authorship debates and Category:Medieval writers, with no opposition to creating a new sub-cat such as Category:Misattributed medieval authorship if additional content can be found (the current member pages are Adalbert of Spalding & Ralph Acton). – Fayenatic London 11:15, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, only two articles without much room for expansion, but don't upmerge to Category:Christian theologians because these two people are only notable for being the subject of a mistake in history writing, not for being a theologian. As a possible merge target I have proposed Category:Historiography of England but I'm open to alternatives. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:20, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. – Fayenatic London 22:03, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete, it's currently a mishmash of unrelated subcategories and articles, and even after cleaning up this category would merely remain a case of WP:SHAREDNAME. Not surprisingly, Process is a disambiguation page. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:14, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Good Food Award winners
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Good Food Awards is given by a San Francisco group to recognize environmentally conscious food companies. Of the 17 companies in this categories, 6 mention the award in passing and 11 don't mention it at all. I already listified the contents here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:37, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Japan Prize laureates
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
The Japan Prize is an award for scientists who have advanced world peace. In practice, it is usually given to American scientists but it is neither the top award from Japan nor the top award for American scientists. Most of the biography articles here do mention the award, but only within a long list of other awards. The contents of this category are already listified here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:36, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:42, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The sports teams at California State University, Los Angeles were known as the Diablos prior to 1981. Since the football program was disbanded following the 1977 season, relevant categories and articles should reflect the school's fight name at that time.

  • Propose deleting Category:Nurse-politicians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
  • Propose deleting Category:Nurse-politicians by nationality
  • Propose deleting Category:American nurse-politicians
  • Propose deleting Category:Australian nurse-politicians
  • Propose deleting Category:Canadian nurse-politicians
  • Propose deleting Category:Japanese nurse-politicians
  • Propose deleting Category:Malaysian nurse-politicians
Nominator's rationale: We generally avoid categorizing by a combination of two occupations. Exceptions are made for some combinations of occupation and politician, as with Category:Actor-politicians, Category:Astronaut-politicians, and Category:Sportsperson-politicians. The reason those are arguably OK is because it has been identified in reliable sources that these combinations are a "thing"—it is common in various countries for people who gain notability as an actor, or astronaut, or politician to leverage that notability into a political career. This is not the case with nurses—nurses are typically not the type of people who become widely known because of their occupation as a nurse. In other words, persons who have been both nurses and politicians are generally not defined by the combination of "nurse-politician". They may be defined by having been a nurse, and they are defined by being a politician, but not generally by the combination of the two. (The contents could be upmerged to the appropriate parent category for nurses and/or politicians, as needed. I'm happy to do this work if the categories are to be deleted.)
