Nominator's rationale: i find the idea of grouping real, individual objects with named angels from verious religions, and calling those, but NOTHING else, individual non human entities, either too broad or too narrow. we need to establish what an entity is, is it a human concept like a law or a goverment, which is entirely human defined, or would we also list as non human entities things that are as far as we know human created, but described as existing outside of human society such as angels, demons, etc. im not exactly sure what i am asking, but i think this needs to be discussed.

Nominator's rationale: Most of the articles and subcats refer to people or groups, but Political music redirects to Music and politics. Fuddle ( talk) 12:16, 31 July 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose this renaming, but some cleaning up definitely needed. Original creator of category here. I'm not opposed to a category for "political musical groups" (although maybe that should be "political music groups") but not based on the nominator's characterization of the category, which is incorrect. It has multiple subcategories. Yes, "groups" ("anarcho-punk groups"), but also works ("political music albums", "political songs") and genres / themes (nueva cancion, political music genres, anti-fascist music) and categories collecting articles about music in particular movements (Music in the movement against apartheid, Rock in Opposition).
Suggest (1) the category may be appropriately renamed " Category:Music and politics".
(2) Diffusion should be something like: "Political music artists" (defining characteristic) and "Political music movements" and "Political music works".

Propose merging:
Nominator's rationale: merge per WP:SMALLCAT, just one article in each of these category and they are not part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme. This is follow-up on this earlier discussion; @ BrownHairedGirl and WilliamJE: pinging contributors to that discussion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:49, 31 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Nominator's rationale: Pluralize category, because there were two and we have two articles about them: April 2015 Nepal earthquake and May 2015 Nepal earthquake. The second was an aftershock of the first but I'm not sure that this is a good reason to refer to it as a singular earthquake. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:05, 31 July 2020 (UTC) reply
