Nominator's rationale:Merge. Main article is at
Film4 Productions. Both categories are defined as films by
Film4 Productions. The name of the nominated category suggests that these are films by the television channel
Film4, which is not the same entity as Film4 Productions. (Both the production company and the TV channel are owned by
Channel 4, so it does become confusing.)

Rename. Seems to be a gray area as far as being a notable intersection. However, it does seem that the anarchy of some of the individuals in this category is intimately connected to their sexual orientation. --

Nominator's rationale: In this context, the terms "Ancient" and "Classical" are largely interchangeable; there is no advantage to be gained by maintaining two separate categories

Keep -- Classical Greece refers to a couple of centuries before Hellenistic Greece and after Dark Age Greece, which followed Mycenean and Minoan Greece.

deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: Rename: The proposed name would be more consistent with the existing
Category:Performers of Christian music (rather than
Category:Christian musicians). It would also fit better with the guidance in
WP:CATGRS that Categories should not be based on religion unless the belief has a specific relation to the topic, as the categorisation by religion would be on the basis of the characteristics of the music composed (which is usually the reason for a composer's notability), rather than the individual composers' beliefs 'per se', which may be much less notable. For example,
Reginald Spofforth would, on the basis of his article, clearly not be a candidate for
Category:Composers of Christian music, while his brother Samuel, as a cathedral organist, quite possibly would - this is, however, a reflection of their differing employments and the recorded range of their compositions, not necessarily based on any difference between the religious beliefs of the two.

Rename per nom. I agree that peopel like Bach may need a seaparate category. An alternative might be to rename to
Category:Composers of modern Christian music and prune out the classical composers, perhaps into a separate category, but as most classical composers wrote some sacred music, it might not be a useful category.

They include both (often the same person) and the articles are mostly infuriatingly unclear on whether they wrote music or not. They are clearly not going to be divided anytime soon, so I think they should all be included - better than all being excluded.

I'd be content with that for the time being, though the muddled state of
Category:Hymn writers is clearly not satisfactory in the longer term. Perhaps we should put it into
Category:Composers of Christian music for the time being, but put a note on the page of
Category:Hymn writers to notify editors that it should ideally be hymn text writers only, that if there are people in there who only wrote music they should be removed and categorised as composers instead, and that if there are people who wrote both texts and music they should be categorised both as hymn writers and composers.

Agree with choster--no opinion on whether these should be capitalised or not, but we would need to change them all. I suppose these could be done speedily if users are sure they should not be capitalised. I think on balance the RFC at the article talk page sided with capitalisation not being the standard.

Rename, per
MOS:CAPS, which is in agreement with MLA, APA, and Chicago Manual of Style. The only time it should be capitalized is in reference to a specifically named denomination, such as "Evangelical Free" or "Evangelical Lutheran".

Oppose reanme, per Black falcon. Also oppose split, because there only 8 articles in the category. Split would make sense if it was more heavily populated, but not in this case ... unless there is a feeling comparative and international law are so different as to be a daft combination for category. --
