- Propose merging Category:Female actor filmographies to Category:Actress filmographies

- Nominator's rationale: Sandpiper and Scolopacidae appear to be the same topic. A merge in the other direction is also a possibility (in which case it would need to be placed under Category:Charadriiformes).

- Propose renaming Category:Allahabad division to Category:Prayagraj division
- Nominator's rationale: The Uttar Pradesh government had officially changed the name to Prayagraj division in November 2018. Refer to the link Allahabad and Faizabad divisions now officially Prayagraj and Ayodhya Shyamsunder ( talk) 12:25, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose renaming as per WP:COMMONNAME. The Uttar Pradesh government is entitled to change anything they want as per their lands rule. But here on Wikipedia we are abide by WP:COMMONNAME rule. Hope there is no confusion. Category:Allahabad division is absolutely fine. Thank you.-- 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 13:28, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose for now, the category name should be changed after the name of the main article is changed, not before that has taken place. An RM is definitely required here. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:58, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Wikipedia:Category names#General conventions says that names of topic categories should normally correspond to the name of a Wikipedia article, which is this case is Allahabad division. If you attempt to edit the article on Allahabad, there is a notice explaining that consensus is that the article should use the name Allahabad in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME. [1]-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:33, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose, the official change is too recent to affect WP:COMMONNAME which is our policy in this regard. — kashmīrī TALK 09:59, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

-- Tecumseh*1301 ( talk) 23:42, 24 June 2020 (UTC)*Pro name change to Prayagraj' Well, of course it had to be changed finally. Name change together with renaming the article of the entry Allahabad to Prayagraj - both articles should be renamed finally.
- 1. it is the official name
- 2. for 2 years now, so no, it is not too recent, like User:Kashmiri writes.
- 3. it was renamed by the official government of India, which is recognized by everyone, not some interim government or dictator
- 4. the idea to rename the city to Prayagraj was planned for a very long time, so it sure will be kept, like it is the case with Chennai and others.
- 5. almost all of European Wikipedias renamed it to Prayagraj already, even Aserbaidschan, which is predominantly Muslim
- 6. the inhabitants accepted the name change
- 7. Some Wikipedias still dont rename the article because English Wikipedia has not done so yet, so it is important that you accept the renaming and dont disapoint the Wikipedianer who are pro a name change, which is the majority,because
- 8. On the discussion of the article Allahabad there have been many attempts by many different writers, who wanted the renaming, more than against it (mostly User:Kashmiri writing singlehandedly) it matters a lot to them
- 9. Last but not least: It is the original language exisiting far longer than the name right now, which was renamed to Allahabad under occupation
- 10. Google and Britannica are using the new name Prayagraj already - the 2 most influential sources in this matter of all

- @ Marcocapelle: It is not simple. There are articles on Allahabad, Allahabad division, Allahabad district, Allahabad Airport, etc. They are all related, if you start by moving one, it will make it very confusing.-- Toddy1 (talk) 09:24, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Marcocapelle, and in the absence of evidence that COMMONNAME supports this move. Vanamonde ( Talk) 17:42, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Why in all the World should the name change not be in accordance to WP:COMMONNAME? -- Tecumseh*1301 ( talk) 21:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
Up to now, it is plain that the Pro name change arguments are overwhelmingly stronger. Of course, the main article Prayagraj has to be renamed first-- Tecumseh*1301 ( talk) 21:32, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Procedural oppose per Marcocapelle. If the article name is changed at an RM discussion, then the category can be speedily-renamed per WP:C2D.
- But the category name should match the article name, so right now there are no grounds to rename the category. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:39, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Mario (franchise) to Category:Mario
- Nominator's rationale: This was recently moved via the Speedy page as " C2D: per head article Mario (franchise)". [2] It was later made clear at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_June_3#Category:Mario_(franchise) that the move was prompted by the issue of Eponymous categories which don't include their eponymous article. In the case of Mario, this was easily fixed by adding the article Mario to the head category, since it was always stated on the category page to be the main article. That edit [3] seems to have been accepted. Note: This nomination will enable the many sub-categories to remain at their short names rather than inserting "(franchise)" into their names, which would be unnecessary disambiguation in this case. Note that Mario has long been the WP:primary topic at Mario (disambiguation), and the speedy category move was not prompted by perceived ambiguity. – Fayenatic London 11:00, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. Regardless of whatever note was left in the category, the head topic of this is clearly Mario (franchise) and not the Mario character, as can be seen by the parent categories which are about franchises and not the character. If you move switch the primary between the character and the franchise, then this nomination can work. -- Gonnym ( talk) 09:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Gonnym. This a matter of whether character or franchise is the primary topic. If an RM reverses the current position, then the category can be renamed. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT, this category inherently cannot be expanded. I'm sure calendars exist in most fiction, but there aren't reliable third party sources to create a meaningful number of articles. In the rare instance where a calendar plays a significant role in a work of fiction, it can likely be covered as part of the WP:PLOT in context with the rest of the fiction's development and reception. Shooterwalker ( talk) 07:01, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:NONDEFINING ( WP:OCAWARD)
- The Grand prix des lectrices de Elle is a book award by the readers of Elle fashion magazine and this category groups the authors of those books. The award is definitely notable as ongoing feature in the magazine "aimed at giving a voice to women who love to read", as the article puts it. The award doesn't seem defining to the biography articles though: they tend to mention the award in passing with other honors, although a few have it in the lede or don't mention it at all. This is one of many French literary award categories created in late 2016/early 2017.

This is partly an actual award with a judging panel that selects a winner from a shortlist, and partly a marketing device for promoting the sales of books (see here and here).

- Propose renaming Category:Allahabad division to Category:Prayagraj division
- Nominator's rationale: The Uttar Pradesh government had officially changed the name to Prayagraj division in November 2018. Refer to the link Allahabad and Faizabad divisions now officially Prayagraj and Ayodhya Shyamsunder ( talk) 12:25, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose renaming as per WP:COMMONNAME. The Uttar Pradesh government is entitled to change anything they want as per their lands rule. But here on Wikipedia we are abide by WP:COMMONNAME rule. Hope there is no confusion. Category:Allahabad division is absolutely fine. Thank you.-- 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 13:28, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose for now, the category name should be changed after the name of the main article is changed, not before that has taken place. An RM is definitely required here. Marcocapelle ( talk) 14:58, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Wikipedia:Category names#General conventions says that names of topic categories should normally correspond to the name of a Wikipedia article, which is this case is Allahabad division. If you attempt to edit the article on Allahabad, there is a notice explaining that consensus is that the article should use the name Allahabad in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME. [1]-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:33, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

-- Tecumseh*1301 ( talk) 23:42, 24 June 2020 (UTC)*Pro name change to Prayagraj' Well, of course it had to be changed finally. Name change together with renaming the article of the entry Allahabad to Prayagraj - both articles should be renamed finally.
- 1. it is the official name
- 2. for 2 years now, so no, it is not too recent, like User:Kashmiri writes.
- 3. it was renamed by the official government of India, which is recognized by everyone, not some interim government or dictator
- 4. the idea to rename the city to Prayagraj was planned for a very long time, so it sure will be kept, like it is the case with Chennai and others.
- 5. almost all of European Wikipedias renamed it to Prayagraj already, even Aserbaidschan, which is predominantly Muslim
- 6. the inhabitants accepted the name change
- 7. Some Wikipedias still dont rename the article because English Wikipedia has not done so yet, so it is important that you accept the renaming and dont disapoint the Wikipedianer who are pro a name change, which is the majority,because
- 8. On the discussion of the article Allahabad there have been many attempts by many different writers, who wanted the renaming, more than against it (mostly User:Kashmiri writing singlehandedly) it matters a lot to them
- 9. Last but not least: It is the original language exisiting far longer than the name right now, which was renamed to Allahabad under occupation
- 10. Google and Britannica are using the new name Prayagraj already - the 2 most influential sources in this matter of all

- Propose renaming Category:Mario (franchise) to Category:Mario
- Nominator's rationale: This was recently moved via the Speedy page as " C2D: per head article Mario (franchise)". [2] It was later made clear at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_June_3#Category:Mario_(franchise) that the move was prompted by the issue of Eponymous categories which don't include their eponymous article. In the case of Mario, this was easily fixed by adding the article Mario to the head category, since it was always stated on the category page to be the main article. That edit [3] seems to have been accepted. Note: This nomination will enable the many sub-categories to remain at their short names rather than inserting "(franchise)" into their names, which would be unnecessary disambiguation in this case. Note that Mario has long been the WP:primary topic at Mario (disambiguation), and the speedy category move was not prompted by perceived ambiguity. – Fayenatic London 11:00, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. Regardless of whatever note was left in the category, the head topic of this is clearly Mario (franchise) and not the Mario character, as can be seen by the parent categories which are about franchises and not the character. If you move switch the primary between the character and the franchise, then this nomination can work. -- Gonnym ( talk) 09:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Gonnym. This a matter of whether character or franchise is the primary topic. If an RM reverses the current position, then the category can be renamed. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:50, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SMALLCAT, this category inherently cannot be expanded. I'm sure calendars exist in most fiction, but there aren't reliable third party sources to create a meaningful number of articles. In the rare instance where a calendar plays a significant role in a work of fiction, it can likely be covered as part of the WP:PLOT in context with the rest of the fiction's development and reception.

- The Grand prix des lectrices de Elle is a book award by the readers of Elle fashion magazine and this category groups the authors of those books. The award is definitely notable as ongoing feature in the magazine "aimed at giving a voice to women who love to read", as the article puts it. The award doesn't seem defining to the biography articles though: they tend to mention the award in passing with other honors, although a few have it in the lede or don't mention it at all. This is one of many French literary award categories created in late 2016/early 2017.
