Category:Buddhism-related television episodes

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. MER-C 04:25, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename per WP:DEFINING, we should only have articles that are about a certain religion; "-related" is too vague for that. It should also be renamed in order to align with parent Category:Television episodes about religion. Marcocapelle (talk) 22:07, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • We can and should manually purge the categories after renaming. If nothing remains, the categories can be deleted per WP:C1. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:58, 31 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: do not rename. MER-C 04:29, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: For clarification. It is not about English managers in what was for many years called (and still often referred to informally as) the Football League, but about managers of any nationality in what is now called the English Football League (although it includes many who managed before that name change) Kevin McE (talk) 16:11, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 04:24, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Categories with just one or two entries. Don't propose merging to people as most Israeli footballers are seriously overcategorized with player articles in People and sometimes Sportspeople from Foo in addition to Football players from. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:20, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint-Cyr alumni

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. MER-C 04:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category was created by a bot and is missing the accent on the first letter to match École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr. There are several other categories that begin with the correct accented letter, so this can't be a technical thing, ie Category: École Normale Supérieure alumni.

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. MER-C 04:32, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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. MER-C 04:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Not all the articles can be properly regarded as about personal finance, and there isn't another category. Renaming would fit better into Category:Works about finance Rathfelder (talk) 20:26, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Insect redirects

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:Redirects to insects to Category:Insect redirects. MER-C 04:27, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: No need for these to be separate categories. DexDor (talk) 19:08, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose but support opposite merge: I would support merging Category:Redirects to insects into Category:Insect redirects. The latter was created to be more in sync with the naming and ordering of other categories within the Tree of Life project. Many pages within Redirects to Insects fit within the more precise categories of Insect redirects, which contains far more pages. I do agree that both categories are not required. M. A. Broussard (talk) 00:37, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If only one of these categories is required why did you create the 2nd category (rather than proposing a rename of the category that already existed)?
Your format is more consistent with, for example, Category:Insect stubs, but it's inconsistent with most other redirect categories (e.g. see subcats of Category:Main namespace redirects such as Category:Redirects to monotypic taxa of insects). Given a choice between consistency with categories of a similar topic (e.g. animals) and categories of a similar type (e.g. redirects) the latter is preferable.
