I agree with Johnpacklambert that the historically more successful nationalisms shouldn't be split from the less successful ones, especially because it seems impossible to establish a dichotomy: many nationalisms would be located somewhere in the middle grounds, within constitutional frameworks of federalism, regional autonomy, confederations or such.
At the same time, there usually is only one dominant nationalism within a single (subnational) region. What would we put into a Category: Nationalism in Catalonia besides Category:Catalan nationalism, what would we put into a Category: Nationalism in Kurdistan or Category:Nationalism in Scotland that isn't more properly categorized by Category:Kurdish nationalism resp. Category:Scottish nationalism?
The top-level nation-state categories do a fairly good job in organizing all relevant political movements on the territory of that country, and for our purposes that even hold for all kinds of nationalisms, be they unionist/federalist, regionalist, autonomist or secessionist. -- PanchoS ( talk) 13:59, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

- The name of the article is Twist (dance), no "the".

- Question: If Category:The Twist is moved to Category:The Twist (dance), what would replace it at Category:The Twist. Hyacinth ( talk) 09:04, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- If that happened, the Category:The Twist would either go away or be a redirect to the new category name. The exact same articles would still be under Category:The Twist (dance) though. (Typically categories are named after the main article.) RevelationDirect ( talk) 16:12, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- The name of the article is Twist (dance), no "the". I still think this ideal for a list, although I guess it could be comparable to Category:Gangnam Style by considering it more of "pop culture" category and not a "songs" category. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 17:59, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
- Rename to match main article which is at Twist (dance). This is a style of dance which was in vogue when I was young. There is enough content for a worthwhile category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:04, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
