The result of the discussion was: no consensus on top category; merge all the small sub-categories. For now, I will leave the American, French and Russian sub-cats (i.e. population 4 or more). – Fayenatic London 20:50, 23 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I'm going to go on a limb here and say that the parent category and all of its subcategories that include "acting theorists" in their names should be deleted. In the over 10 years this category has existed, there has never been an article or redirect at Acting theorist, Acting theorists, Acting theory or Acting theories. Without some method in which to define this term via content in a Wikipedia article (whether it be an article itself or a section thereof), having categories for such a subject is unverifiable WP:OR in its use as a real term. So, as far as it stands at this point with the state of Wikipedia, the term "acting theorist" is at worst made-up and at best undefined. Steel1943 ( talk) 19:13, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Fayenatic london: Ok thanks. That's quite odd. Also, do you happen to have an opinion on this subject? Perhaps you can conclude this thread and close it? Cheers, Manifestation ( talk) 15:44, 23 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT. We don't have any category for ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Video essayists at all, so there's no need to subcategorize them for gender before we even have a general category for the occupation in the first place.

Nominator's rationale: Single-entry WP:SMALLCAT for one newspaper in a small town. Every town does not automatically need one of these the moment it has one media outlet with a Wikipedia article; it is only valuable if there are at least four or five media outlets to categorize, and otherwise the outlets should just be categorized at the provincial level instead of a one-item city category. The entry is also already in the "published in Fars" category that I've proposed for renaming to "Media in Fars Province" below, so no valuable context will be lost. Bearcat ( talk) 15:40, 2 April 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Support. When I created this (and similar Iranian media categories) it had quite a few more articles, but a lot of radio station articles have been merged since. Grutness... wha? 03:00, 3 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Yeah, that makes sense. We have indeed kiboshed a lot of poorly sourced and sometimes even entirely unverifiable articles about radio stations in the past few years. Bearcat ( talk) 16:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename. MER-C 18:20, 11 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Improperly named category. While categories for "Magazines published in X" and/or "Newspapers published in X" may exist, we have no recognized scheme of mixing magazines with newspapers in an undifferentiated "Published in X" tree -- if we aren't splitting magazines and newspapers up into their own magazine or newspaper specific subcategories, then they go in a "Media in X" category, not a "Published in X" category, and even if we wanted to split them up into "magazines" and "newspapers" categories on numerical grounds their parent category would still be "Media in Fars Province" rather than "Published in Fars".

The result of the discussion was: revised rename per Bearcat. – Fayenatic London 22:12, 20 April 2020 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: To comply with WP:TIES. Per the Breakfast television article, "morning show" is the term used in Canada and the United States. I currently do not see anything on WP:CATNAME#Categories by country that says "Foo in country" categories have to retain the existing variety of the parent "Foo" or "Foo by country" category. Instead for example, compare Category:Footballers in the United Kingdom with Category:Soccer players in the United States, and Category:Tire manufacturers of Austria.
