Nominator's rationale: CSN is no longer necessarily the name of these networks, hence the main page is now titled based on the division itself. ViperSnake151  Talk  16:48, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hyperlocal in the United Kingdom

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: relisted at 2017 May 14.
Nominator's rationale: "Hyperlocal" is an adjective, not a noun, so just saying something is "hyperlocal" doesn't actually clarify what it is, and the categories accordingly have to specify hyperlocal what. In this context it refers to media startups, generally on the web, but even a hyperlocal media startup can't just be referred to as "hyperlocal" without the noun "media" attached.

Nominator's rationale: Per
WP:TOPTEN - subjective and arbitrary —swpbT 14:05, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply
]
No, my rationale would just change to
WP:TOPTEN is a specific case. There needs to be a firm, non-subjective criterion for determining category membership, which doesn't exist in this case. Discussion of what films should be considered "psychological science fiction" belongs in article space, where statements can be explained, caveated, and most importantly, individually cited. It's just not an appropriate basis for a category, no matter whose list is used. —swpbT 19:19, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply

Category:Indian male film producers

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; although there was not much participation here, this is a follow-up to the previous discussion which had a stronger consensus. – Fayenatic London 21:29, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: I somehow missed this one from the group nomination at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2017_February_6#Some_Indian_male_occupations, which was clsoed as "merge". The same rationale applies:
Per
WP:CATGENDER
, A gender-specific category could be implemented where gender has a specific relation to the topic. That is not the case here: men have not been historically under-represented in these occupations, nor is there a particular male genre of doing these occupations because men differ from the norms of that occupation (because men predominate).
That is why this category does not have a global parent: see the redlink for Category:Male film producers.
The nominated categories has an equivalent female counterpart: Category:Indian female film producers.
However, per
WP:CATGENDER, a female category does not need to be balanced with an equivalent female category (or vice versa) unless the profession is inherently segregated by gender, as with acting or some sports. This occupations is not inherently segregated by gender, so the case for each gendered category must be made on its own merits. I am personally unpersuaded on the merits of the female categories, but that is a separate discussion, because the two do not have to be balanced. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:46, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply

Bengali film producers, Hindi film producers, Kannada film producers, Malayalam film producers, Odia film producers, Tamil film producers, Telugu film producers. See https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=995033
There are 266 results, out of 426 pages in the category. In other words, merger would be required for at least those 266. – Fayenatic London 21:12, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy rename per
WP:C2C. This routine housekeeping. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:01, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was: speedy close, this is the wrong platform to discuss article deletions (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 15:42, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: relisted at 2017 May 14. – Fayenatic London 21:56, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: delete/merge, trivial intersections between current and former polities. Also there is room for discussion whether we should have a tree for establishment of populated places by former polity at all, since currently we only have an established tree of Category:Populated places by year of establishment. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:26, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Consistency is undermined when Category:Cities and towns built in the Soviet Union will be preserved. According to the nominator's rationale, that category should be removed as well. Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 12:16, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Honestly I really think it's not a good idea to have cities categorized by every former polity, it may well lead to a lot of category clutter in articles about mainland European cities. And besides it's a typical example of
    WP:DNWAUC. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:33, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply

The result of the discussion was: delete. The two people are in the surname article already. (non-admin closure) Marcocapelle (talk) 06:38, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: It's unclear what this category is for - people named Marta Cunningham? If so, violates
