Oppose per above. Just because someone coaches in one particular category doesn't men they are of that nationality. A New Zealand friend of mine is currently coaching cricket in India - that doesn't make him Indian.
Grutness...wha?03:34, 21 December 2019 (UTC)reply
Oppose all for reasons outlined above. Coaches can be based in one country while having the nationality of another. How hard is that to explain. Ridiculous nomination. Had similar issue a few years back with rugby union referees.

Oppose -- Once upon a time coaches were always of the home nation. This is no longer the case, so that by country (of operation) and from country (of origin) are both needed.

In that case we should reverse merge all the nationality categories, or split them. Many articles say nothing about the nationality status of the subject. Do we want two sets of categories, one listing them by nationality and the other by the country in which they operate - and presumably some will move from one country to another?

No, most of these categories were doubled and tripled up over time. The only categories that matter are the ones nominated up above to merge into the parent category, Autobots and Decepticons. Every article in the series was covered under the due to them being the primary means of categorization.

Comment - On the one hand, I am sympathetic to Piotrus' remarks. On the other hand, I am a bit concerned about the possibility that there may be works that have been banned by multiple countries, which would result in additional category clutter. However, if that proved to be the case we could always revisit this issue and trade in the categories for a set of lists.

There are plenty of works which have been censored in various places and at various times. But being censored in a particular country is generally not defining.

According to the main Wikipedia article,
