Nominator's rationale: Currently only one article in category, and I would argue that it doesn't even apply for it. Not enough room for expansion.

Not really. It's
Hit-Girl, and while she does kill a lot of people, she doesn't get paid to do it nor is she assigned people to kill nor are any of them political figures.

Support The first renaming is a better description and more specific of the cat's members. The second renaming should be invoked as well, but it would be better as
Category:Media about cults, as I don't think popular culture is a synonym for media. --

Support Agree that the first renaming is a better description. For the second one--that is a bit ambiguous when I think of what would be in that category. For an example--the song Jonestown by
Concrete Blonde would fit under Cults in Popular Culture. But a documentary such as
Jonestown: Paradise Lost would fit under media, or better, Films about Cults, not Cults in Popular Culture. Books about Cults is a good category.--

Just as an aside, there's also
cult film. This can easily cause confusion: is a film with an obsessive fandom or a film about a religious cult? It might be good to be explicit when naming categories where cults and films may intersect.

Procedural oppose The presence of identically named neighbours for the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe suggests that if this really is an issue, it doesn't exist solely for this one category, but potentially hundreds of categories in the tree Category:Military units and formations. Rename them all, or none at all, that is now a naming convention works.

Comment to @
K.e.coffman and
Bishonen: The
Category:Military units and formations hierarchy mostly uses the word "military"; the exceptions use a more specific term e.g. "Airborne". Therefore, if "military" was not used on a "units and formations" category in this tree, it could ordinarily be speedily added under
WP:C2C. If the SS is counted as paramilitary rather than military, this might be a reason to remove the word "military". However, Bishonen's statement that the SS "was a military outfit" seems to be an argument for keeping the word "military" in common with the rest of the hierarchy. –
FayenaticLondon11:48, 31 May 2018 (UTC)reply
Support -- Waffen-SS was the military wing of the Nazi party. It did not have naval or Luftwaffe wings, not did it have non-military units or formations. This make "military" redundant. It is as pointless as having "Military units and formation of the British Army", because they are by definition military. I am certainly not suggesting renaming the parent.
