Nominator's rationale: completely arbitrary classification: what is the consistent criteria that would let articles categorized as "sleeper hits" pass WP:CATV? Joeyconnick (talk) 20:03, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Delete per WP:SMALLCAT as there is little chance of the category being expanded. The sole article seems to be over-categorised. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:54, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Those are all American films which feature Chinese or Japanese characters who are not necessarily American. So, as you say, the title of the category is confusing and we need to be clear about its purpose. Perhaps the most famous Western that features a character from the Far East is Red Sun but that was a European production set in America. The article in the category, Shanghai Noon, is a joint USA/Hong Kong venture and I think we need to focus on production rather than characters because the latter approach can easily become subjective. For example, The Magnificent Seven (2016 film) includes Lee Byung-hun playing a Korean but he is only one of nine stars in the film so would that qualify for this category?

Fair enough. As I said, the exact idea behind this category is a bit ambiguous. Grutness...wha? 12:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I may be conflating Once Upon a Time in China I (which had a subplot about Chinese being trafficked to America to work on the railroads) and Once Upon a Time in China and America (which I haven't seen but was apparently a sequel set not that long after the first one, in America), but... well I think this category is meant to refer to the ethnicity of the actors, not the characters. Then again, a Chinese film starring Chinese actors playing Chinese characters in America is kinda beside the point, as it doesn't seem like any Asian Americans were involved...

I would say not. They are by single nationality only, like Japanese. No Great Shaker (talk) 11:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is a follow-up to the discussions on 14 July and 18 July based on the essential points that virtually all Western films are dramas and the "Western drama" categories created by User:Sc2353 are unnecessary. No Great Shaker (talk) 10:44, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: delete' per WP:NONDEF, the fact that Nanjing and Xi'an are former capitals is a defining characteristic of these cities, but it is not defining for any emperor. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:32, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Related category renamings
Nominator's rationale: Aiming for both accuracy & consistency, as categories seem to be moving from the language of "female" to "women" (e.g. the adjacent category African-American women musicians). I assume there's probably been debate around this sort of thing, so I'm just mentioning a few smaller categories & more obvious examples––for example, Women musicians by instrument has 13 subcategories, & I've included the only 3 that are still using "female" (drummers, percussionists, singers).
