Propose renaming Category:Works by Edwin Balmer to Category:Novels by Edwin Balmer
Propose renaming Category:Works by Philip Wylie to Category:Novels by Philip Wylie

Nominator's rationale: Per established scheme of Category:Novels by writer. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:05, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support - use the more specific term. ('Works by' are usually container categories.) Oculi (talk) 17:40, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support. All contents appear to be novels. --wooden superman 10:04, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding Wiley, I’m definitely Oppose & against renaming, because he wrote not only novels. And the category can be replenished by other works. As for Balmer, I consider renaming possible.--Yasnodark (talk) 12:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, I've just found some screenplays. --wooden superman 13:11, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Balmer as only contains novels. Oppose Wylie as other articles exist, but Category:Novels by Philip Wylie needs to be created as a subcat. --wooden superman 13:11, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Have created 'novels'. Oculi (talk) 13:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Balmer to match the actual content. Dimadick (talk) 14:42, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Edwin Balmer (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: WP:OCEPON. Works by is sufficient. --wooden superman 13:13, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as "Works by ..." is sufficient, per WP:OCEPON Andy Dingley (talk) 18:49, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - as it would have been deleted with just 2 subcats, before the unnecessary 'Works' creation (on 3 July 2019). Oculi (talk) 16:33, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have just found Category:Songs written by Jimmy Somerville which elevates the 2 July 2019 version into a 'keep'. Oculi (talk) 18:07, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

These belong in the "Works by" category, so still no need for this WP:EPONCAT. --wooden superman 08:05, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Category:20th-century Czechoslovak painters

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 manually. MER-C 10:59, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:20th-century Czechoslovak painters (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: Well, it's the same problem as with Category:20th-century Soviet sculptors, a redundant duplicate category. There are no other Czechoslovak painters by century, because Czechoslovakia existed only in the 20th century (1918–1939; 1945–1992). Thus, Category:Czechoslovak painters (with Category:20th-century painters) will be enough. Russian Rocky (talk) 10:00, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support Merging into Category:Czechoslovak painters - Once again I concur with your analysis - this serves no purpose. Anomalous+0 (talk) 12:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Category:Czechoslovak painters per nom. Articles can also be added to Category:20th-century Czech painters and Category:20th-century Slovak painters if their ethnicity is clear. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 08:12, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom and user:filelakeshoe.--Darwinek (talk) 22:14, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom and user:filelakeshoe. This was an artificial country in which there were two Slavic ethnicities, which have now gone their separate ways. There can never be a 19th century or 21st century category, so that the Category:Czechoslovak painters can be directly in a 20th century parent. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:00, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
