At any rate, categories with 4 or fewer articles are considered within the purview of WP:SMALLCAT. Propose deleting and upmerging the three (3) articles to Category:Mayors of places in British Columbia. Doug Mehus ( talk) 21:05, 18 October 2019 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: merge, also to Category:Retail companies of England. MER-C 10:25, 1 November 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Doesnt make sense to subdivide UK for online companies Rathfelder ( talk) 20:19, 23 September 2019 (UTC) reply
  • I have removed Housesimple because an estate agent is not a retailer.
Why not also merge to the other parent Category:Retail companies of England? – Fayenatic London 14:16, 25 September 2019 (UTC) reply
I dont object to that. Rathfelder ( talk) 14:18, 25 September 2019 (UTC) reply

  • Comment, in this Wikipedia tree the word "of" means "based in", it does not mean "serving". So we can easily populate this category if it is kept. Marcocapelle ( talk) 16:10, 5 October 2019 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: no consensus. MER-C 10:19, 2 November 2019 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: All of Fox-branded channels around the world are owned by Disney, and now unrelated with Fox Broadcasting Company, which it origins. Ridwan97 ( talk) 23:12, 6 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Oppose - At first glance, use of the Fox brand (with its historical implications) seems to be more WP:defining than present-day ownership. Articles and categories about these channels cover their entire history, not only the Disney period. Place Clichy ( talk) 13:59, 8 October 2019 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: no action taken, discussion deferred to the bundled nomination below. MER-C 18:14, 24 October 2019 (UTC)1 reply
Nominator's rationale: Just 1 subcategory Rathfelder ( talk) 20:14, 6 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Only 3 of the country-level categories have more than one or two entries. I'm not convinced its a workable scheme. I'd like to know what other people think. Rathfelder ( talk) 15:06, 8 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • The better populated country categories should be converted to distance education institutions in order to fit in the tree of Category:Distance education institutions by country. That other tree is the tree that has expansion potential. Marcocapelle ( talk) 15:41, 8 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • If there is a bundled nomination to rename all Distance education in XYZ categories to Distance education institutions in XYZ, I would certainly be favourable to that. The isolated nominations here did not make it obvious that this was the intention. Place Clichy ( talk) 12:55, 9 October 2019 (UTC) reply
  • Would support a bundled nom as well, @ Rathfelder: do you want to convert this to a bundle and relist? -- Trialpears ( talk) 23:59, 16 October 2019 (UTC) reply
