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

Nominator's rationale: Seems to be an extremely broad and vague categorisation (how are we defining "associated with crimes") - not sure if this should be deleted or renamed, so opening up to community opinions on this.

Delete Just seems like a case of overtcat. And to what end? If there was a purse stolen outside the front doors, would that qualify that building to this category? Also, what's the point exactly? --

Category:Viceroys of the British monarch in sovereign countries
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.
Nominator's rationale: This category is for representatives of the British crown in Commonwealth countries. In all (or most) cases, the title is Governor-General. The title Viceroy was only used in respect of India, so that its use for categories is misleading. If this nom is successful, there will need to be a follow up to rename subcategories that currently use Viceroy.

Rename per nom. As an aside, as some Commonwealth countries have 'High Commissioners' (eg Malawi), why are these not included in this category?

Rename per nom. To answer Occuli, I think "realms" where Charles III is still monarch have Governors-General, and fully independent ones with presidents, like India, have "High Commissioners". Actually these are generally larger. There's good case for merging the two, and none are Vicroys except India.

Nominator's rationale: "Films by studio" category for a "studio" that's really just one film director's personal shingle for his own films. At present, this is effectively just redundant with
Category:Films directed by Bertrand Bonello, because work Bonello directed himself is all this studio has ever actually released -- and unlike the Xavier Dolan category below, there are no films filed here by any other director. There just isn't any urgent need for every film director's own personal shingle to automatically have its own "films by studio" category, if the director's own films are all that "studio" actually releases.

I'll thank you to kindly not put words in my mouth that I didn't say just so you can argue with a strawman. Nobody said "production shingle owned by filmmaker" was in and of itself the problem — the problem is "production shingle that exists only to make its owner's own films, and does not produce any films directed by anybody else". Exactly none of these supposed analogues you listed are in that boat at all, because all of them have produced films by multiple other directors besides just their own owners alone, and are thus not equivalent situations.
We do not automatically need a "films by studio" category for every single studio that exists, especially when all of the films the studio has released are already grouped together in a "films by director" category because that one director's films are the only films said studio has released — we need categories for major studios, and not necessarily for minor or independent studios.

So this is not about films produced by the director, what you want is to get rid of categories for independent film studios. Why? I didn't see any rule about that. Why is that a problem?
"Nobody said "production shingle owned by filmmaker" was in and of itself the problem — the problem is "production shingle that exists only to make its owner's own films, and does not produce any films directed by anybody else"
And yet you still requested for Sons of Manual films to be deleted despite having films produced by other directors and not only Xavier Dolan's films...
"none of these supposed analogues you listed are in that boat at all, because all of them have produced films by other directors besides just their own owners"
I said "either mostly or only their own films", which is exactly what those categories represent. Syncopy Inc. films only has two films that weren't directed by Nolan, Infinitum Nihil films only has one film that Depp hasn't worked in, and the same goes for the other categories I listed, most of the films were either directed by or starring the person who owns the company, they all started out by producing their own films. And there's also Category:Balboa Productions films(

logs), with only 2 films and both of them starring Sylvester Stallone, and there are probably other categories in the same situation. Either we get rid of all of them and create a new rule or leave it as it is right now. Why only minor/independent studios need to be removed?

Nominator's rationale: "Films by studio" category for a "studio" that's really just one film director's personal shingle for his own films. At present, this is effectively just redundant with
Category:Films directed by Xavier Dolan, because work Dolan directed himself is all this studio has ever actually released to date -- and of the two films filed here which he didn't direct himself, one was a minor "in association with" credit rather than a production
defined by the involvement of Sons of Manual (and yes, it's the same film as the one in the "CBC films" category below). There's just one film here where Sons of Manual is genuinely a primary studio, with Dolan credited as producer but not director of that film, and it's a still-forthcoming future release. There just isn't any urgent need for every film director's own personal shingle to automatically have its own "films by studio" category, if the director's own films are virtually all that "studio" actually releases.

Oppose: You removed Sons of Manual
from the infobox of
Charlotte (2021 film), even though it is one of the film's major production companies, as show in the film's credits and on
UniFrance,
Cineuropa, and Nour Films (the French distributor), not a minor "in association with" as you claimed.

Nominator's rationale: delete as
economics consulting is a non-defining characteristic. Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, but these categories are obviously not about consultancy regarding the social science. The best populated category of the three,
Category:Economics consulting firms, mainly contains management consulting firms and financial services companies and we already have dedicated categories for that.

Delete the first. Keep but purge the firms.
Germela seems to be a combination of lawyers and miscategorised. However, another firm
Global Insight would be left orphaned from any category concerned with the field in which they operate. Management consultants might well be purged into daughter or sibling category, but there are a number of firms in the category that are providing consultancy services about economic affairs for various purposes. I agree that the subject category is not needed, as most of its contents is not about "economic consulting". I would suggest that main article for the firms article should be
Economics. These are firms providing consultancy services about economics.

Oppose. "Referendums" are a general term, of which plebiscites are a specific subset. There had been several referendums in the Philippines, specifically during the martial law era (hint: If it's a national electoral exercise that doesn't involve people, and doesn't involve the constitution, it's a referendum). As stated above, the main article has been moved several times without discussion the past week, and I've opened a discussion, that has not received any feedback (LOL).

If there are insufficient numbers of articles specifically on legislation, I don't object to an appropriate consolidation. (As the person who created the category.) But, to be clear, it should not be scratched as "redundant" or "same". There is a distinction bettween "legislation" (which includes bills proposed but not passed) and "law" (which includes legislation that has been passed, as well as case law, constitutional law, etc.) --
