  • Propose renaming Category:Lists of Bollywood films to Category:Lists of Hindi-language films
Nominator's rationale: I'm starting with the top category and will then see if the underlying structure can be renamed and merged together afterwards. Bollywood is merely a nickname that came about in the 1970s for the Hindi-language film industry in Mumbai (even though the article pages go back to 1920 and probably include significant number of films not in Mumbai itself). We should use the more neutral name of "Hindu-language films" (we have Category:Lists of American films not Category:Lists of Hollywood films). Ricky81682 (talk) 23:21, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Zoos and aquariums in Dallas, Texas

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: Upmerge to either Category:Aquaria in Texas or Category:Zoos in Texas and to other parent categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:42, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT. Has just 3 entries and there is only one other United States city- New York- which has five entries .Plus this category combines both zoos and aquariums. Aquariums are categorized separately from zoos. If the category is categorized as per the norm here, it would be zoos in Dallas and only have two entries. If the category is kept it should be renamed Zoos in Dallas, Texas....William 18:48, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 12:52, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: This category collates together at least five different competitions (the Scottish League Cup, Scottish Premiership, Scottish Championship, Scottish League One and Scottish League Two) into one category. It isn't a defining characteristic of a player that they are an "SPFL medal winner". There is perhaps an argument for having separate categories for each, but even then it would sometimes be difficult to source that a player had actually won a medal (rules can restrict them from being issued if the player is on the team, but doesn't play often).

Nominator's rationale: Delete. Per WP:NONDEF, a non-defining characteristic. The1337gamer (talk) 12:09, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Every single game available on more than one operating system and on Steam is listed as SteamPlay. There are over 1700 SteamPlay games (a significant amount of which have Wikipedia articles) and less than 40 are in this category. Barely any Wikipedia articles even mention SteamPlay and no reliable sources cover the feature past its announcement because it is now a common and standard practice on PC that if you own a game on Windows, you also own it on Mac and Linux, regardless of where you bought it from. You could create a corresponding category for any other store (like GOG, Origin, etc) that sells PC games for multiple platforms because they all offer the same feature as SteamPlay. Clearly WP:NONDEF. --The1337gamer (talk) 11:33, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't making it a defining characteristic. No decent video game article will cover collector's editions in the lead of article. It's is so common nowadays for video games to get released in "collector's editions" or "limited editions" with additional content. --The1337gamer (talk) 11:35, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1 Article Biography Categories for Artists

  • Propose Deleting Category:Félix Resurrección Hidalgo
  • Propose Deleting Category:Roy Lichtenstein
  • Propose Deleting Category:Juan Luna
  • Propose Deleting Category:Girolamo Romani
Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OCEPON, "Eponymous categories named after people should not be created unless enough directly related articles or subcategories exist." Each of these categories only contains one article, the biography of the artist, and a sub-category of their works. The headers in each of the subcategories link to the artist so no navigation will be lost. I created Category:Mark Rothko so I certainly have no objection to recreating these later should more directly related content appear.RevelationDirect (talk) 10:48, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notified Another Believer as the only category creator who is still active and this discussion has been included in WikiProject Biography. – RevelationDirect (talk) 10:48, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tamil television series endings by year

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: upmerge 2000-2012 categories to parent category; no consensus on further action.--Aervanath (talk) 09:53, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Other than the last two, there's an issue with WP:SMALLCATs here. The other categories at Category:Television series endings by year are by country. On the other hand, we do have Category:Indian television series by language so I don't really know. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:52, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Since there are a great many articles in 2014 and 2015 and almost none before, I'm wondering if this is just a matter of @Arnav19: populating the older categories. (If this is really all there is, then I support upmerging all.) RevelationDirect (talk) 11:04, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • That and I imagine a slight systemic bias towards the creation of articles on newer series, it's not likely you're find much information on some 1990s Tamil television series, if any existed (plus I don't think there were a lot of Tamil series around earlier, making less likely to have endings around earlier). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:25, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In what European country would the possibility of merging English, French and Spanish language series ever even exist? And why would it be a bad thing to mix them if such a country did actually exist, given that language isn't the point in this particular tree? We don't, for instance, split Category:American television series endings into separate subcategories for English and Spanish language series, or Category:Canadian television series endings into separate subcategories for English and French ones — the fact that they're American or Canadian, not the language they're in, is the salient detail in this particular spot. There's more than enough room for language to be relevant and reflected elsewhere in the Category:Indian television series tree, without needing every Indian television category in existence to always be comprehensively subcatted by language. Bearcat (talk) 04:56, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover I would simply rename the parent to Category:Tamil television series and finally I suggest to upmerge all series up to and including 2012 to the Tamil parent category per WP:SMALLCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:05, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • At second instance, I think this format change isn't that important. The alternative is clearer but if there is a standard in place let's stick to it. More importantly, let's keep the Tamil branch but upmerge a number of the smaller year categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:33, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • At least don't upmerge 2013-2015 per WP:SMALLCAT because these categories are big enough. Furthermore I disagree that language is not defining, I would say it is very defining for any television topic, simply because the content of television largely consists of spoken language. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:13, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are already plenty of places where the language that a television series is in can be and is already reflected. YMMV, but I don't see any particularly compelling reason why the "year of television series ending" tree needs to be one of them. Bearcat (talk) 16:56, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
