Merge to
Category:League for Democracy Party politicians, per nom. (I realize that it is currently in that category, but that may change between now and the close of the nomination.) The use of "members" is problematic because it could lead to individuals who simply hold membership, but no office, with a political party being categorized. -- Black Falcon(

Merge -- This is about the correct category for a single article. We do not like abbreviations in WP as they are not obvious, except to cogniscenti.

Nominator's rationale: Three reasons, each of which separately is maybe not strong enough, but in conjunction I think they are.
There's not too much difference between polemic and controversy, i.e. it's not very easy to see why some articles are in the one category while other articles are in the other category.
The polemics category is relatively small.
There is no other category that I know of which has polemics in the name (while for controversies there is quite a big tree).
I see, you intend to rename the parent to include a dash. With a dash, would it be clear that it's meant to be (Christianity and Judaism)-related controversies and not meant to be Christianity and (Judaism-related controversies)?

Delete The 2007 discussion was short on logic, but the above nomination hits the nail on the head. The category structure is not to facilitate purely social aspects of Wikipedia. I advocate deletion of the category, but I would support the continued use of the template on userpages with no category function.

Delete Wikipedian categories should not be confusable with content categorization. Clearly there are articles on people who are Canadian and Communist, which is what one would suspect is the topic of the category. --

Nominator's rationale: The category should be renames as there are number of ministries of same for provincial governments. So to remove confusion in future when some makes article for those provincial govt ministries

Rename. Pakistan is a federal state, and I don't see a good reason to oppose this. The provincial ministries in Pakistan are probably notable and could well have articles, and I see no benefit in not specifying at this stage that these are articles about federal ministries.

Although I do agree that we need only one of these categories and consider the 'Films about...' format to be clearer, I do not see a clear naming standard within
Category:Films about revolutions: seven members use 'Foo Revolution films' and four use 'Films about the Foo Revolution'. -- Black Falcon(
talk)01:22, 13 July 2014 (UTC)reply
Yeah, it's a bit of a mess. Stefanomione is one category creator who has created both types, seemingly using the 'films about foo' and 'foo films' interchangeably. Or it's possible he used one, then switched over to 'films about foo' when he realized at Cfd that that was preferred, without going back and changing the others.

Delete "films about" has the intractable subjectivity problem of how much "about" the subject must the film be and what reliable sources tell us it's at least that much?

Nominator's rationale: Here's another outlier "Films about country" category - in this case, an underpopulated container category that we can simply delete, as the two subcats are categorized elsewhere. BTW, if this passes I will speedily rename the documentary subcat, per C2C, to merely "China." I think a C2C would pass even now, but just to be sure I'll wait.

Nominator's rationale: I feel "marathon running" is the more idiomatic term to encompass this field. It also helps distinguish the sport from other sports that use the term marathoning, such as
Ironman triathlon and car racing (e.g.
London–Sydney Marathon). Colloquially, marathoning of TV shows (i.e. many in one go) is becoming more common. The new title makes the subject very explicit
