The result of the discussion was:  Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 August 26#Category:Fashion journalism. ℯxplicit 00:20, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: The category currently is inaccurate. Fashion publications and writers mainly feature bloggers or columnists. Calling many of the people in this category "journalists" is misleading because they mostly publish opinion pieces (such as style trends, fashion show analysis, etc.) which is inherently biased. None of these people exclusively write factual information as a typical journalist would. Category:Fashion journalists is very different from Category:Business and financial journalists or Category:Crime journalists. I propose renaming to Category:Fashion criticism, like the categories for writers on similar topics like music, theatre, and art. Woebegone (talk) 21:42, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because the function of fashion magazines, columns, etc is to report on fashion not to criticise it. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:52, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Propose renaming Category:Wikipedians who consider themselves participants in all wikiprojects to Category:Wikipedians who participate in all WikiProjects or Category:Wikipedians who reject WikiProject membership, or delete
Nominator's rationale: This is not truly a WikiProject participation category but rather a quasi-wiki-philosophy category based on the rejection of WikiProject membership. I propose, at a minimum, moving it to a name that is shorter (Category:Wikipedians who participate in all WikiProjects) or, better yet, more descriptive (Category:Wikipedians who reject WikiProject membership). However, unlike most wiki-philosophy user categories, there is no established wiki-philosophy for rejecting WikiProject membership, and so my first preference is to delete the category and simply let users express this opinion via the userbox, without generating an opinion-based category grouping. -- Black Falcon (talk) 17:37, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: We do not do songwriters by band name - which is the marketing term used to sell records. Members of a band can change, but the songwriting credits do not. Richhoncho (talk) 15:50, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
PS Here is a sample previous discussion which also refers to other discussions. Discussion here --Richhoncho (talk) 08:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @TenPoundHammer:. I always thought they were a songwriting duo, and as such, although I am not in favour of conjoined songwriters in any event, decided others might disagree with me. Happy to leave the Warren Bros to your more specialist knowledge.I do think Peach Pickers (and others) should be demerged for the very reasons you state. (Why should a songwriter have 2 entries in the same cat?). --Richhoncho (talk) 09:21, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering 23:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, this is follow-up on this earlier discussion in which there was consensus to rename Palestinian territories categories to State of Palestine starting in 2013. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:38, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Implementation note: For the record, here are the diffs for my follow-up work on the parent categories. User:Spiderjerky and User:Place Clichy also helped. – Fayenatic London 11:44, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. ℯxplicit 00:20, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
more nominated categories
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, most of these categories consist of a single list article and two subcategories with (dis)establishments of states and territories. Note for implementation: those two (dis)establishments subcats should not be included in the merger, since they are already part of Category:YYYY establishments and Category:YYYY disestablishments.

  • The question is where to start the tree. The 16th century is a much better start than the 11th century, for example because in the 16th century the English parliament begins to play an increasingly important role. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:11, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Having both Category:Mathematicians who died in the Holocaust and Category:Jewish mathematicians who died in the Holocaust seems redundant, seeing as nearly all members off the former would also be in the latter. Kyuko (talk) 01:45, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
