Nominator's rationale: The shortening of "Floor vacuum" is undesirable, title-case capitalization is also unnecessary. Also there are more than vacuums now in this category. –

Reverse merge to adopt a less ambiguous form and to match categories such as
Category:Documentaries about science. While the "about" format is not universal and
has its own issues, I would think "Paleontology documentaries"— or for that matter "Documentaries about paleontology"— to contain documentaries about the field and its practitioners, rather than the subject of their research. To be sure, many documentaries include paleontologists' interviews and commentary and some footage of excavations and research centers, but for example Walking with Dinosaurs or Jurassic Fight Club do not.-

Reverse merge -- (Merge somehow anyway) I suspect that some of the content is not precisely about the scientific discipline. My first reaction was that the proposal would bring documentaries about prehistoric archaeology into an inappropriate category, but
Walking with dinosaurs (the only article in the first) is not about archeology.

Delete/upmerge as needed (and list the rest of the category structure); this is trivia. The implication might be that certain films were chosen for video game adaptations because of who directed them, or because of the particular style of the directors, but that would just seem to be a proxy for certain directors being popular and/or working in certain genres. Further, the video game-readiness of a film is often going to be a matter of its script, or probably more commonly its characters, particularly if they comprise a franchise. Crediting the director of the film with the fact that it became a video game then seems, as Occuli notes, too remote a relationship given that most film directors are not
auteurs (or that video games are not exclusively adapted from films written and directed by auteurs). Incidentally, the entire
Category:Video games based on films by director structure was created by just one contributor within the past couple months, so its mere existence shouldn't be taken as indicative of community acceptance and consensus. postdlf (talk)

Delete/upmerge to
Category:Video games based on films. I agree that this category and the entire tree is trivia. The director of a film has little to no bearing on the existence or form of a video game based on the game—it's very remote, at best. The rest of the tree should be nominated for upmerging.

Nominator's rationale:Merge/Rename as appropriate: After a seeking a suggestion on how to proceed from WP Comics, these categories should be merged or renamed to match parent category
Category:Dark Horse Comics and primary article
Dark Horse Comics. As it stands, there are two separate but partially interlinked and overlapping sets of sub-categories as the result of a naming decision made in 2005. (Bonus: the "imprints" rename also corrects a capitalization error in the category name.) -

Support - The second set of categories (the "Dark Horse Comics" ones) should never have been created, it should have all been brought here for renaming. It is pretty uncontroversial and all those four "Dark Horse" categories should be moved/merged to the "Dark Horse Comics" equivalents and we can fix this mess once and for all. (
