August 6[edit]

Republic of Upper Volta[edit]

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/delete. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:08, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: In 1984, Upper Volta was renamed to Burkina Faso. We do not need separate parent categories any more for the period that the colonial name remained in use. Redirect all merged categories, as the templates on the sub-cats will now resolve the redirects, i.e. will automatically change to using the target categories as parents. – Fayenatic London 21:46, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- This is all about the same country. I note Category:1940s in French Upper Volta is (correctly) in the target. I thought we had long ago resolved upon what is now proposed, and suspect that we have an officious editor changing things contrary to what was agreed long ago. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:34, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think rather that these categories are still here from the time when the templates were more rigid and expected all these parents to exist.– Fayenatic London 06:50, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: speedy merge. – Fayenatic London 21:28, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: upmerge to the older, country name category. Note, that using country name is the convention utilized in subcategories of Category:Templates by topic and country. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:58, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy merge per C2C, duplicate category that contravenes category tree naming conventions. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:30, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Republic of Dahomey[edit]

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:12, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Merge and redirect both. "Republic of Dahomey" was the name from 1958 to 1975, when it was renamed Benin. It became independent of France in 1960, so that was more of a key transitional date, but the name changed from French Dahomey to Republic of Dahomey in 1958. Anyway, the change of name from Republic of Dahomey to Benin is much less significant, and other cases do not normally get separate categories for the period that each name was in use. – Fayenatic London 21:37, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- The convention is to use the present name for renamed states, but subcats should reflect the contemporary name for their period. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:35, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:13, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: merge, it is the only establishment by year category for the kingdom of Dahomey. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:06, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dahomey[edit]

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: rename to Category:Kingdom of Dahomey. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:15, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename, Dahomey refers to the kingdom of Dahomey, but as a category name it is ambiguous, as one might suspect it includes French Dahomey and the Republic of Dahomey too. If this goes ahead the subcategories can presumably be speedied. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: this hierarchy does need some attention. Category:Years of the 20th century in Benin covers French Dahomey and Republic of Dahomey; I agree with including Republic of Dahomey in with Benin, but perhaps French Dahomey should have a separate intermediate hierarchy. Category:Decades in Dahomey is not consistently split from Category:Decades in Benin. A hierarchy for the kingdom should probably use the name "Kingdom of Dahomey" rather than the qualifier "(kingdom)". There seems to be no dated content for the period when the Kingdom continued as a French protectorate period (1894–1904) so no need to discuss whether to have two layers for that date range. – Fayenatic London 19:10, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Package films[edit]

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:17, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Category whose name is not an accurate reflection of its contents. "Package film" is just an alternate term for any anthology films, and does not automatically require the films to be specifically animated as opposed to live-action -- but this category's usage note specifically states that it was conceived as a category specifically for animated anthologies even though its name fails to convey that. (And, for added bonus, a review of the contents found a number of things had been included here that weren't actually "package films" at all, but animated television series or individual shorts that might have been included in anthology packages but were not themselves anthology packages.)
Accordingly, the contents here should be moved to Category:Animated anthology films -- but the title should be redirected to the general Category:Anthology films parent rather than the animated subcategory, because the term "package film" does not automatically connote animated anthologies to the exclusion of non-animated anthologies.

Nominator's rationale: A technical rename, really. Some of the lists here contain sources that are not online (or were digitized at some point). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:School Boy Records singles[edit]

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. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:19, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As far as I can tell, the official name of the record label is "Schoolboy" despite inconsistencies here on WP and elsewhere. Both label founder Scooter Braun's website and Republic Records' have it that way so I'm at least pretty sure that's right. Target category was made by mistake from an assumption that no such category existed; turns out it does, just under a different spelling. The article it was made for, Western Wind (Carly Rae Jepsen song), has one source covering its label which also uses the no-spaces spelling. Needs a merger either way as both categories are covering the same subject and are redundant, just want it clear which I believe is the correct name. QuietHere (talk) 08:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy merge per WP:C2D, to match main article Schoolboy Records. I am also nominating two of the associated categories for C2D as well. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 12:50, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was notified of this discussion and I don’t remember creating the category. At any rate, I support a speedy merge per nom. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 15:11, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Albums produced by Richard Stannard (songwriter). (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:24, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: As there is more than one target called Richard Stannard, a DAB or distinguishing factor is required. >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 21:19, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Numerous films have this. Item numbers are endemic in India. Do we really need a category though? Kailash29792 (talk) 09:35, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:European Film Awards[edit]

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: rename. (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkltalk 06:25, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Ambiguity issue, as the capitalization or non-capitalization of "film" and "awards" is the only distinction between this eponym for a specific film award and the general topic category Category:European film awards for all film awards presented in Europe. So, since these awards are presented by the European Film Academy, and "European Film Academy Awards" is stated in the article's introduction as a valid and legitimate alternate name for these awards, it's best to name the category that way to minimize any possible confusion between the two.

Nominator's rationale: merge, only two articles, and we do not have a tree of defunct motor vehicle manufacturers by former country. Marcocapelle (talk) 04:42, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
