- Delete. This is not a defining point of commonality between The Satanic Verses (Islamic fatwa) and Mein Kampf (not censored, but just under a cultural taboo) and Fifty Shades of Grey (not censored, just boycotted by the self-appointed moral guardians) and Der Spiegel (one weekly issue of a magazine that's been around for over 70 years banned in one country) and things banned in China for political reasons. Bearcat ( talk) 02:27, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. This can be a defining characteristic of some media, being censored is often mentioned in lead, for example consider Go Princess Go or Mo Li Hua, or Germany. A Winter's Tale (particularly GPG and GWT are interesting, because it was censorship that generated a lot of buzz about them, both in the 21st and in the 19th century). And being censored is about as important as being stated in year xx, closed, or many other things, perhaps more. Never complete is hardly a serious argument - there are many categories which are 'never complete', like, errr, all categories for creative works. Or astronomical bodies. Sigh. Perhaps some people misunderstood the purpose of this category - it's a parent category for censored media, i.e. books, songs, etc. Before this category existed, there was no way to find a list of media which have a commonality point of being censored, quite an important characteristic (through of course it varies from various media). PS. This category was created after a discussion involving several editors, and an RfC: Talk:Censorship/Archive_3#Censored_media_/_category_cleanup. Pinging editors involved in this discussion: @ Crtew, Rich Farmbrough, and Isthisuseful:. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:59, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
- keep for the good reasons provided above. It now includes appropriate sub-categories. Hmains ( talk) 06:19, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, it does not make much sense to delete the category when its subcategories are kept. One other issue though, the current category name suggests that media as a whole are censored. A rename to
Category:Censored content or something like that may be considered.

- Keep, I just added a painting to the category and found no other category to place it in. I am a bit confused by 'media' in the title, but yes, there is a need for a central category for censored works besides 'Censorship in the arts' (so maybe rename to 'Censored works').

Nominator's rationale: Helvetic Republic is the name of the political regime of Switzerland between 1798 and 1803. Despite the fact that its borders were not exactly identitical to that of modern Switzerland, there is no basis for an entire separate chronology tree. Place Clichy ( talk) 12:06, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Merge or reverse merge, certainly do not keep this duplication. Marcocapelle ( talk) 12:26, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with Marcocapelle. Boundaries have often moved, but it is essentially the same country. Its name as Helvetic Republic was of short duration. We might keep that name for year categories 1798-1803, but these should be parented to Switzerland ones covering longer periods. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:52, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:1918 photographs to Category:1918 works and Category:1918 in art and Category:1910s photographs
- Nominator's rationale: merge per
WP:SMALLCAT, we have too few photographs articles per year, leading to many 1- or 2-article categories. Categorization per decade helps better to find photographs from approximately the same period.

- Propose merging Category:Civics to Category:Citizenship
- Propose renaming Category:Global civics to Category:Global citizenship
- Nominator's rationale: merge/rename because these categories are not about civics as the study of citizenship but about citizenship itself. In addition I wonder if we shouldn't purge most subcats of the two nominated categories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:28, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Category:Citizenship seems to focus on the legal recognition and transfer of citizenship which is distinct from this category's sense of citizenship as active participation. Maybe rename to Category:Civic participation and pushing a lot of the current contents of Category:Citizenship down to Category:Nationality law? (Not opposed to this proposal but open to other options.) RevelationDirect ( talk) 16:52, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Steel Mills in Sindh to Category:Steel companies of Pakistan
- Nominator's rationale: unnecessary intermediate category. Only one sub cat Rathfelder ( talk) 07:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - this category places subcats and articles within Category:Steel companies of Pakistan, Category:Industry in Sindh, Category:Iron and steel mills and Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan. The nom retains subcats and articles within the first but does not explain whether the articles are being retained in the other categories (and if not, why not?). Oculi ( talk) 13:00, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- "If you think something needs to be upmerged, make sure that all parent categories are included in the nomination as merge targets (or make sure you have a good reason not to include all of the parents)." This advice can be found, not made long ago and buried in some obscure place far from Rathfelder's gaze, but on their own talk page in April 2018. I would be grateful if Rathfelder could commit either to heeding such advice or avoiding cfd and category space altogether. Oculi ( talk) 14:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- We havent broken down steel companies to any other regions. Even in the USA they are not broken down into states. There doesnt seem to be any good reason for this particular subdivision. The only entry is for companies in Karachi. The articles both seem to be about companies, not about the mills themselves, as is the case with many of the articles about steel mills.. Rathfelder ( talk) 14:48, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- At present Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan contains 3 articles at the top level and 4 articles in subcats (2 shipyards and 2 steel mills in Karachi). The nom has the effect of removing the 2 steel mills in Karachi from Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan. What is the rationale for this? Is a steel mill in Karachi not a manufacturing plant in Pakistan? Oculi ( talk) 15:34, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Its a steel company in Pakistan, which is a subcategory of Category:Manufacturing companies of Pakistan. Rathfelder ( talk) 16:12, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- The two articles in the Karachi subcat are about companies named Steel Mills, they are not about the actual plants. So Rathfelder is right in not proposing to merge to Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan. It would be helpful to rename/merge the Karachi subcat as well, in order to avoid this confusion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:50, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
- Merge upwards to eliminate this layer - probably not a full upmerge. The only content is about Karachi, which can go direct into a Pakistan category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:12, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

This is not a defining point of commonality between The Satanic Verses (Islamic fatwa) and Mein Kampf (not censored, but just under a cultural taboo) and Fifty Shades of Grey (not censored, just boycotted by the self-appointed moral guardians) and Der Spiegel (one weekly issue of a magazine that's been around for over 70 years banned in one country) and things banned in China for political reasons. Bearcat ( talk) 02:27, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. This can be a defining characteristic of some media, being censored is often mentioned in lead, for example consider Go Princess Go or Mo Li Hua, or Germany. A Winter's Tale (particularly GPG and GWT are interesting, because it was censorship that generated a lot of buzz about them, both in the 21st and in the 19th century). And being censored is about as important as being stated in year xx, closed, or many other things, perhaps more. Never complete is hardly a serious argument - there are many categories which are 'never complete', like, errr, all categories for creative works. Or astronomical bodies. Sigh. Perhaps some people misunderstood the purpose of this category - it's a parent category for censored media, i.e. books, songs, etc. Before this category existed, there was no way to find a list of media which have a commonality point of being censored, quite an important characteristic (through of course it varies from various media). PS. This category was created after a discussion involving several editors, and an RfC: Talk:Censorship/Archive_3#Censored_media_/_category_cleanup.

- keep for the good reasons provided above. It now includes appropriate sub-categories. Hmains ( talk) 06:19, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep, it does not make much sense to delete the category when its subcategories are kept. One other issue though, the current category name suggests that media as a whole are censored. A rename to
Category:Censored content or something like that may be considered.

- Keep, I just added a painting to the category and found no other category to place it in. I am a bit confused by 'media' in the title, but yes, there is a need for a central category for censored works besides 'Censorship in the arts' (so maybe rename to 'Censored works').

Nominator's rationale: Helvetic Republic is the name of the political regime of Switzerland between 1798 and 1803. Despite the fact that its borders were not exactly identitical to that of modern Switzerland, there is no basis for an entire separate chronology tree. Place Clichy ( talk) 12:06, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

- I agree with Marcocapelle. Boundaries have often moved, but it is essentially the same country. Its name as Helvetic Republic was of short duration. We might keep that name for year categories 1798-1803, but these should be parented to Switzerland ones covering longer periods. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:52, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

WP:SMALLCAT, we have too few photographs articles per year, leading to many 1- or 2-article categories. Categorization per decade helps better to find photographs from approximately the same period.

- Comment Category:Citizenship seems to focus on the legal recognition and transfer of citizenship which is distinct from this category's sense of citizenship as active participation.

(Not opposed to this proposal but open to other options.) RevelationDirect ( talk) 16:52, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

- Propose merging Category:Steel Mills in Sindh to Category:Steel companies of Pakistan
- Nominator's rationale: unnecessary intermediate category. Only one sub cat Rathfelder ( talk) 07:13, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Keep - this category places subcats and articles within Category:Steel companies of Pakistan, Category:Industry in Sindh, Category:Iron and steel mills and Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan. The nom retains subcats and articles within the first but does not explain whether the articles are being retained in the other categories (and if not, why not?). Oculi ( talk) 13:00, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- "If you think something needs to be upmerged, make sure that all parent categories are included in the nomination as merge targets (or make sure you have a good reason not to include all of the parents)." This advice can be found, not made long ago and buried in some obscure place far from Rathfelder's gaze, but on their own talk page in April 2018. I would be grateful if Rathfelder could commit either to heeding such advice or avoiding cfd and category space altogether. Oculi ( talk) 14:27, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- We havent broken down steel companies to any other regions. Even in the USA they are not broken down into states. There doesnt seem to be any good reason for this particular subdivision. The only entry is for companies in Karachi. The articles both seem to be about companies, not about the mills themselves, as is the case with many of the articles about steel mills.. Rathfelder ( talk) 14:48, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- At present Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan contains 3 articles at the top level and 4 articles in subcats (2 shipyards and 2 steel mills in Karachi). The nom has the effect of removing the 2 steel mills in Karachi from Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan. What is the rationale for this? Is a steel mill in Karachi not a manufacturing plant in Pakistan? Oculi ( talk) 15:34, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Its a steel company in Pakistan, which is a subcategory of Category:Manufacturing companies of Pakistan. Rathfelder ( talk) 16:12, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- The two articles in the Karachi subcat are about companies named Steel Mills, they are not about the actual plants. So Rathfelder is right in not proposing to merge to Category:Manufacturing plants in Pakistan. It would be helpful to rename/merge the Karachi subcat as well, in order to avoid this confusion. Marcocapelle ( talk) 08:50, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
