It is important that the contents of
Category:Etchings by Rembrandt remain categorized. Not all Rembrandt prints are in fact etchings (though they are sometimes loosely so called), so it might be better to move the actual articles up to "Prints by...".
Johnbod (

Several of the articles are about groups, which will include non-etching, in whole or in part. Many of his prints, like The Three Crosses, are mixes of etching and engraving (often
drypoint). I haven't looked the other individual prints with articles up (and wouldn't trust our articles on this). The wider point is that the best overall name is "prints", not "etchings", although, as I said above "they are sometimes loosely so called". The
List of etchings by Rembrandt falls into this trap. It does not list the techniques, but very many of these are partly in engraving, and quite a few entirely so.

I've added this as option B and I have tagged
Category:Etchings by Rembrandt as well. Either option A or B is okay in terms of avoiding duplication of categories but based on Johnbod's arguments option B is most likely the better option.
Marcocapelle (

Support Option B per above. Thanks.

Nominator's rationale: Generally, names of administrative divisions in countries are strong
proper names and do not take a definite article. Tanzanian regions are no exception. In the specific case of Mbeya Region, see
this or
this, both being government publications about the region.

Support – per the evidence in the links in the nom. The nominator should bring other similarly named categories to cfd rather than
moving them boldly as other editors might well boldly
move them back.

Rename or Delete (upmerging to
Category:Turkish drama television series if necessary). The category creator didn't put this category in any parent categories so it's unclear what exactly they meant it to be (e.g. should it be under an Arabic-language category?). DexDor(talk) 19:42, 7 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Delete, they are Turkish television series and already categorized as such.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 09:51, 10 June 2017 (UTC)reply
Delete. Based on what I can glean from the handful of articles in here that I just spotchecked, the purpose of the category seems to be "Turkish drama series that got picked up for rebroadcast on
MBC 4 or other pan-Arabic channels". But since it's always possible for any television series in any country to be picked up by a foreign television channel for rebroadcast in any other country, that's not a
WP:DEFINING characteristic but rather a recipe for extreme category bloat.
