The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:08, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: While the service is called "BBC Television", this naming convention is contra much of the other subcats, including things like Category:BBC television specials and Category:BBC television talk shows. Imo it makes sense to have this version be lowercase as well, as the container category contains television shows as the most-specific description over "shows", which happens to be under BBC Television.

Nominator's rationale: It is quite often impossible to split the hair, even the category statute admits this.
After that, merge Category:Hags into it. --Altenmann >talk 21:22, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Cfd discussion
Nominator's rationale: There are, as far as I can see, only two dames due to Canada renouncing titles long ago. So no need to do so by order. Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:19, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Members of the Order of St John. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Serving Brothers of the Order of St John to Category:Members and Serving Brothers and Sisters of the Order of St John
Nominator's rationale: The current title only covers males and not females. In addition, this rank has relatively recently (about 2017, it would appear) been renamed from Serving Brother/Sister to Member. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:27, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Rangpur

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.
The result of the discussion was: Speedy delete per G5 SilverLocust 💬 05:26, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Duplicate category created today in good faith by new editor. The name Rangpur is ambiguous, so the existing category's title is correct, since all articles currently in the new category appear to be for the city in Bangladesh. The redirected category may need to be disambiguated for Category:Rangpur District and Category:Rangpur Division. Wikishovel (talk) 08:30, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and disambiguate per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 09:33, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Most of the people in this category aren't described as experts. How are we defining who is an expert? There are a few politicians who I would not describe as experts in here (and neither does their article), but the only defining categorization here is those who study it as their discipline. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:19, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Experts on terrorism

The result of the discussion was: rename. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 01:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Experts is a weird thing to categorize by as well as a POV judgement. Who are we defining as an expert? Does Osama Bin Laden count as an "expert on terrorism"? There are a few politicians in here who made some legislation on terrorism, but I dispute that this makes them experts, and they are not described as such. The subcat of "terrorism theorists" should be merged into this, as it is basically doing the same thing. No, what these people are actually notable for is being scholars of the topic. All other categories like this (except two, which should also be changed) either use academics or scholars. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:15, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Scholars is the best option. --Fadesga (talk) 16:17, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
