Nominator's rationale: As per
WP:SMALLCAT and, optionally and additionally,
WP:TRIVIALCATpotentially. Contains only three articles, one of which is currently in AfD. 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.

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.

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 (

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.

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 (

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 (

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.
