Nominator's rationale: The club was named Swansea Town during both wars (Swansea didn't become a city until 1969[1]), so it is anachronistic to refer to these people as Swansea City guest players. In this case, accuracy should trump consistency. Nzd (talk) 22:54, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Only one article. There are quite a lot of relevent articles where foster care is an issue but there is no obvious need to categorise them together. It's not generally a defining feature. Rathfelder (talk) 19:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Overly narrow for a template category. Only one member of category at present, and that member is already effectively categorized. Bsherr (talk) 17:08, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Relisted, see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 5#Category:Office comedy television series. Steel1943 (talk) 21:18, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: There isn't a clearcut genre distinction between "office comedy" and "workplace comedy". It's certainly true that not all workplace comedies are necessarily set in offices per se (e.g. there are shows like Superstore), but it's not at all true that "office comedies" and "non-office-workplace comedies" get analyzed as two distinct genres of television show that would need to be separated from each other within the category system. There is, for example, an entire minigenre of thinkpieces on the internet about how Superstore is basically the direct successor of the canonical "office comedy" series, The Office (e.g. [2], [3]), and once you factor for the slight distinction of setting the "genres" largely put the same kinds of characters in the same kinds of stories and plots. Not to mention that in most cases, the "workplace comedy" categories exist only to parent the "office comedy" categories, rather than to actually contain distinct content — with one exception, which really highlights the absurdity of this distinction, being that Yes Minister is in the British workplace category, rather than the British office category, even though it's very much both things at once.

Nominator's rationale: I don't think the distinction is clear here; the category text claims that the "in" page is for state/local governments and the "of" page is for the federal government, but the contents suggest that isn't being clearly followed; many of the subcategories of both overlap with federal and state topics (for example "Impeachment in the United States‎" and "Public services of the United States" both have federal and state topics). If it's necessary to have a separate category for the federal government perhaps that category should be moved to Category:Federal government of the United States. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:29, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
