Nominator's rationale:WP:NONDEF. "Cartoons with furry things in it" is borderline, but "American cartoons with furry things in it" isn't defining. The furry things look the same no matter the country of origin. Also
WP:NARROWCAT, pretty much a random intersection of characteristics. Finally,

Nominator's rationale: Incorrect scope for the contents, and the original name was malformed anyway (should have been "Category:One-shot comics", since it is a category of comics not a category of "one-shot", which is not a
mass noun). As it now also includes a manga subcat, it needs to encompass that, too. —

Merge somehow -- This category should, like
Category:Seats of local government by country, be a container, with individual articles distributed to the appropriate country article. It may be appropriate to reverse merge and to rename the national categories to the form of the present article. However, this may need to be done selectively according to local usage. In England the Town Hall or City Hall is often a venue for musical and other performances, with local government being conducted from the Council House. Birmingham Town Hall is a venue, where the
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra performed until
Symphony Hall, Birmingham was built. The main council offices are in Birmingham Council House, in part of a building that also houses
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

Oppose Not all city halls function as seats of local government; Some are museums. "Town hall" is US-centric. "Seats of local government" exactly describes what is is, not what it may have been at one time.

support rename Seat of government is archaic terminology rarely used in other category trees in WP. And higher level categories should be a summary name of the lower categories, which in in this instance there is no reason to change.

I think British universities are increasingly calling what used to be called departments faculties, so I think we should consider this more widely.

Support per both above arguments, and for more categories to move. While there's a mass- and count-noun distinction here, it not all that clear in a category name, and we shouldn't be imposing a primarily American usage on non-US categories. While there are probably US-English-influenced places like Okinawa and the Philippines where "faculty" is used in English, to the extent English is used, "academics" works fine as a
MOS:COMMONALITY alternative. —

Sounds very reasonable indeed. Afterwards we may even expand it globally. According to
Faculty, Harvard University has a "faculty of arts and sciences" so faculty is apparently ambiguous in American English.

talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: None of the other related categories specify "British" in title so I am unsure why this one does. Please see
Category:Knights by occupation – these are the subcategories:
Actors awarded British knighthoods ← ???
Businesspeople awarded knighthoods
Lawyers awarded knighthoods
Musicians awarded knighthoods
Politicians awarded knighthoods
People in sports awarded knighthoods
There are no other categories specifying actors receiving any other type of knighthoods and there are no other subcategories specifying British either.

@
*Treker and
Grutness: New Zealand is part of the British commonwealth and receives knighthoods bestowed by the Queen, so these are also British knighthoods. Please look at the parent category
Category:Knights by occupation to understand.
New Zealand knighthoods are not British knighthoods. They are bestowed by the Queen in her capacity as Queen of New Zealand, upon the recommendation of the New Zealand Government, but they are a separate system and have been since the mid 1990s. They run in parallel to the British system (which was also formerly used in New Zealand). Knights in New Zealand are awarded the KNZM or GNZM, not the KBE or KCMG.
Grutness...wha?04:22, 31 January 2020 (UTC)reply
The problem is that New Zealand changed its system, but the systems are similar enough that they are grouped together. As such it makes more sense for NZ if it were to have "Cat: New Zealand foopeople awarded knighthoods", and I suspect the same would be true for other countries. Perhaps
Category:British actors awarded knighthoods might make more sense. FWIW, I can't think of a single NZer who has gained a knighthood for acting, though there are several damehoods (Pat Evison, Kate Harcourt).
