Nominator's rationale: It's not exactly a broadcast network, more like a cable channel carried on broadcast in Mexico City and some of whose programs are cherry-picked by Televisa local stations. It doesn't have affiliates. Delete this and the "affiliates" subcategory. Raymie (tc) 21:51, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

The result of the discussion was: keep. – Fayenatic London 23:33, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Since it would probably be useless to create a global category for these (Category:Railway stations located at-grade), I see no reason to create such a category for an individual railway system, even if within that system such stations are extremely rare. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:51, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Renominate with Related Categories I agree with Bearcat. I won't make someone nominate every possible similar category, but the ones for NYC subway should be nominated together since they would likely share the same outcome. RevelationDirect (talk) 03:28, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: split per Greyshark09. – Fayenatic London 13:38, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: partially upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT and WP:OVERLAPCAT. We already have Category:1920s in Belarus and Category:1930s in Belarus, that leaves very little content for this category. Note, if this category is going to be upmerged, the years and decade categories don't have to be merged because they are already in the parent category.

The result of the discussion was: delete. I will re-parent the main page and the subcat Category:Home computer remakes, which would otherwise be left uncategorised. – Fayenatic London 13:53, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Retrocomputing does not have a concrete definition, and it mostly comes down to personal opinion. Without a definition, all computers, software, chips, etc, that are greater than X years old have the potential of being added to the category. The retrogaming category was removed for similar reasons. Dgpop (talk) 04:32, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have to take issue with the current state of the category Retrocomputing. It includes Wikipedia articles for several computing systems that were in use from the 1970s to the 1990s, but are not in use any more. The reason for this issue is that the computing systems themselves are not "retrocomputing" - they were the cutting edge of technology when they were released, and the vendors did not think "people will fondly remember these half a century in the future", they sold them as new products. Labelling them as "retrocomputing" retcons their entire lifetime as hobbyist toys rather than actual computers, and retconning itself should be avoided. With this logic, every computer a couple of decades old becomes "retrocomputing". In my opinion, "retrocomputing" should be specifically used to mean running software for old, legacy, obsolete computing systems today (or old, legacy, obsolete software for modern computing systems today), not for the systems themselves.
