The result of the discussion was: rename/merge as nominated. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:55, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Other categories have used "cars" since Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 October 10#Category:Automobiles. Merge the second one because "interested in" is the current naming convention rather than "enthusiasts" etc, at least within the parent Category:Wikipedians interested in transportation. – Fayenatic London 08:52, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: We do not have an article for Never Say Die Records. It does not make sense to have a category for artists associated with the label right now. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:15, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bollywood lists of awards and nominations

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: split into Category:Lists of accolades by Indian film and Category:Lists of awards received by Indian actor. Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:59, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: "Bollywood lists" seems a little odd to describe the content of this category, its not a Bollywood listing of awards, but a category for lists of accolades recived by Bollywood films. To keep it in line with the parent category I think it would be best to change it to Category:Lists of accolades by Indian film. ★Trekker (talk) 12:01, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Armenian resistance

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 to Category:Armenian resistance during the Armenian Genocide and merge contents to Category:Armenian national liberation movement. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: change somehow, as the current name is too vague. The original speedy proposal to rename to Category:Armenian resistance during the Armenian Genocide is no longer relevant, since the target has meanwhile been created as a subcategory. Some other options: rename e.g. to Category:Armenian national liberation movement or merge to Category:Rebellions in Armenia which has meanwhile been nominated for renaming to Category:Armenian rebellions in the Ottoman Empire.

copy of CFDS discussion
  • Category:Armenian resistance to Category:Armenian resistance during the Armenian Genocide – C2D: per Armenian resistance during the Armenian Genocide, stable since 2013. Armbrust The Homunculus 18:11, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oppose; the scope of that article starts in 1914, but the scope of the category starts in the 1880s. It is acknowledged briefly at Armenian resistance during the Armenian Genocide#Background that "There were previous Armenian resistances within the Ottoman Empire". Perhaps the category should be renamed to Category:Armenian resistances within the Ottoman Empire or similar. – Fayenatic London 20:44, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Further complication: it overlaps with Category:Rebellions in Armenia which so far only contains articles about the Ottoman period. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:14, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Fayenatic london: In that case, however, this shouldn’t be a subcategory of Category:Armenian Genocide. Armbrust The Homunculus 13:36, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • I agree that this shouldn’t be a subcategory of Category:Armenian Genocide. Furthermore the two categories together should probably become Category:Armenian rebellions within the Ottoman Empire, since Rebellions is more an established tree than Resistances. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:33, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • I don't think that "rebellions" would be an NPOV name under which to categorise e.g. Armenakan Party or Defense of Van (1915). Can we perhaps agree to split this to a new sub-cat Category:Armenian resistance during the Armenian Genocide? I think I see 6 members for that. – Fayenatic London 22:02, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Fiction about shoemakers.– Fayenatic London 18:01, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Fictional shoemakers to Category:Fictional works about shoemakers
Nominator's rationale: Of the 23 entries, 21 are fictional works (largely films, but also short stories and books) about shoemakers, one is a redirect to a section about a fictional shoemaker, and one (The Cobbler of Ordis) is a fictional shoemaker; it's arguable that the one work about a character should be instead about the novel it is from. "Fictional works about shoemakers" seems to more appropriately describe the contents of the category. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:00, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Prix Cazes
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Prix Cazes winners
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD and WP:SMALLCAT
The Brasserie Lipp restaurant in Paris gives an annual Prix Cazes award, "a literary prize awarded each year to an author who has won no other literary prize." I would have suspected this would have been defining to these relatively obscure writers and yet the articles in the category are about evenly split between those that mention the award in passing and those that don't mention it at all. Jean Prasteau's article is the only one that shows any gratitude and mentions the award in the lede. This is one of many French literary award categories created in late 2016/early 2017 and the contents are already listified here in the restaurant article for any reader interested in the topic. (The parent category contains only one redirect with no growth potential.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:30, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose Deleting Category:Jawaharlal Nehru Award winners
  • Propose Deleting/Listifying Category:Recipients of Jawaharlal Nehru Award
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCAWARD
The Jawaharlal Nehru Award is an Indian award given internationally for "contribution to the promotion of international understanding, goodwill and friendship among people of the world." I suspect the reason the category has never really been populated is because it doesn't come close to being defining for Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Yasser Arafat, or Angela Merkel. The contents are already listified here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:30, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
