M*A*S*H comes to mind, with this interesting trivia mentioned in the article:
A number of sources state that [screenplay author Ring] Lardner was very upset with the liberties taken with his script. [...] Lardner eventually was given the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on the film.
Place Clichy ( talk) - Delete Per WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:NONDEFINING in general. This can be discussed in the article, surely, but is not a good basis for categorization. RevelationDirect ( talk) 06:24, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Good Ol’factory
(talk) 02:23, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Propose merging Category:Physical universe to Category:Universe
- Nominator's rationale: This isn't a meaningful distinction given that the categories only contain physical entities. There would only be a distinction in religious or esoteric context, according to Physical universe ghouston ( talk) 08:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Agree with nom, but alt merge to Category:Physical cosmology a bit deeper in the tree of Category:Universe. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:52, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- I'd redirect Category:Physical universe to Category:Universe, but the contents could go in Category:Physical cosmology. ghouston ( talk) 04:28, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Or perhaps the redirect could go to Category:Physical cosmology to, since Category:Universe has Category:Cosmology as a subcategory which mixes mystical and scientific theories. Category:Cosmology is also a subcategory of Category:Physical universe, so the mystical / scientific split isn't very thorough. ghouston ( talk) 04:34, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- It may become a disambiguation page, linking to both of them. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:16, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Most if not all of these topics belong under Category:Physical cosmology. It seems redundant. Praemonitus ( talk) 17:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This is an overly broad category, encompassing a sizable fraction of films. The other subcategories of Category:Films set in a fictional location are more focused. Clarityfiend ( talk) 05:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose This is too big of a category to remove from a whole chain of subcategories and articles. I do think that we should make subcategories to thin out the large integer of pages. Like for example Category:Films set in fictional futuristic populated places. ֆօʍɛɮօɖʏǟռʏɮօɖʏ05 ( talk) 15:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as a case of WP:OCMISC, this is a collection of films not set in a real location, the films have nothing in common with each other in terms of their geography. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment @
Marcocapelle, But even if the films have nothing in common in the they follow the general consensus of sharing a common setting theme of being fictious because of that they do not take place in a real location. using a fictional location can sometimes be used a plot device for some films. Such as being in a fictional city can implement Sci-fi elements into a story. And even if we finalize deleting this category we're going to have to delete the other similar parent categories.

- Oppose "encompassing a sizable fraction of films" This is what makes this a viable category. The setting is defining here. Dimadick ( talk) 16:14, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete many films are situated in fictional places, and unless there are no people there, they are fictional populated places. Is that defining for the film? IMHO, no. Nearly all sci-fi stories are set in various fictional populated places (using 'populated' to include populated by humanoids as well as humans), all the Lovecraft works fit in here, lots of the comic book based works, etc. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 22:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 19:09, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

power~enwiki (
π,
ν) 05:07, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep This category should be kept because the character Colonel sanders is pop culture figure synonymous with the fast food brand KFC. And it has room to grow as the colonel sanders has been feture on episodes of anime shows like Hayate no Gotoku, Dragonball z, Project A-Ko and Slayers. Link. He has also appeared in an episode of general hospital. Link. And it has plenty of potenial for growth.
- Delete per nom. Just an appearance is not a defining characteristic, so I doubt about the potential for growth. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete There is only one real article about a depiction about him. ★Trekker ( talk) 07:54, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete for Now Looking through the bottom sections of the Harlan Sanders article, I don't rule out that this category could grow so no opposition to recreating if it ever gets up to 5 solid articles.

- Nominator's rationale: I see no rational basis for the characterization here. What makes a kids show surreal? None of the articles use the word anywhere other than categorization. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 04:43, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Unneeded category, presumably meant to be an intersection of Category:Surreal comedy with Category:Children's television series. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 05:11, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Question, if that is the case, wouldn't a rename or a dual merge be more appropriate than deletion? Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:00, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: I don't feel this is a WP:DEFINING category. We only have this for US Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Irish Taoisigh. Being related to a US Secretary of State isn't nearly as defining as President; many of those people had other positions that were as or more notable. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 04:38, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Support. Shame about the spelling of centre, but a US editor got there first so fair's fair :) Grutness... wha? 02:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support - these all seem to be in the US. There is Major Trauma Centre for the UK but its articles have not been added. Oculi ( talk) 10:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as it concerns a non-defining characteristic of the hospitals in the category. Manually move the three topic articles to Category:Emergency medicine. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:09, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete These all seem to be in the USA. Trauma centers are not free standing, so this is not really a defining characteristic. Quite a few of the entries are actually disambiguation pages. Rathfelder ( talk) 22:08, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Where would we put adaptations the author some day liked, some day didn't? There are quite a few of these.
M*A*S*H comes to mind, with this interesting trivia mentioned in the article:
A number of sources state that [screenplay author Ring] Lardner was very upset with the liberties taken with his script. [...] Lardner eventually was given the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on the film.

- Propose merging Category:Physical universe to Category:Universe
- Nominator's rationale: This isn't a meaningful distinction given that the categories only contain physical entities. There would only be a distinction in religious or esoteric context, according to Physical universe ghouston ( talk) 08:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Agree with nom, but alt merge to Category:Physical cosmology a bit deeper in the tree of Category:Universe. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:52, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- I'd redirect Category:Physical universe to Category:Universe, but the contents could go in Category:Physical cosmology. ghouston ( talk) 04:28, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Or perhaps the redirect could go to Category:Physical cosmology to, since Category:Universe has Category:Cosmology as a subcategory which mixes mystical and scientific theories. Category:Cosmology is also a subcategory of Category:Physical universe, so the mystical / scientific split isn't very thorough. ghouston ( talk) 04:34, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- It may become a disambiguation page, linking to both of them. Marcocapelle ( talk) 06:16, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

- The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
- The result of the discussion was: no consensus. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: This is an overly broad category, encompassing a sizable fraction of films. The other subcategories of Category:Films set in a fictional location are more focused. Clarityfiend ( talk) 05:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose This is too big of a category to remove from a whole chain of subcategories and articles. I do think that we should make subcategories to thin out the large integer of pages. Like for example Category:Films set in fictional futuristic populated places. ֆօʍɛɮօɖʏǟռʏɮօɖʏ05 ( talk) 15:35, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as a case of WP:OCMISC, this is a collection of films not set in a real location, the films have nothing in common with each other in terms of their geography. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:45, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment @
Marcocapelle, But even if the films have nothing in common in the they follow the general consensus of sharing a common setting theme of being fictious because of that they do not take place in a real location. using a fictional location can sometimes be used a plot device for some films. Such as being in a fictional city can implement Sci-fi elements into a story. And even if we finalize deleting this category we're going to have to delete the other similar parent categories.

- Oppose "encompassing a sizable fraction of films" This is what makes this a viable category. The setting is defining here. Dimadick ( talk) 16:14, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete many films are situated in fictional places, and unless there are no people there, they are fictional populated places. Is that defining for the film? IMHO, no. Nearly all sci-fi stories are set in various fictional populated places (using 'populated' to include populated by humanoids as well as humans), all the Lovecraft works fit in here, lots of the comic book based works, etc. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 22:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

- The result of the discussion was: delete. MER-C 19:09, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

- Keep This category should be kept because the character Colonel sanders is pop culture figure synonymous with the fast food brand KFC. And it has room to grow as the colonel sanders has been feture on episodes of anime shows like Hayate no Gotoku, Dragonball z, Project A-Ko and Slayers. Link. He has also appeared in an episode of general hospital. Link. And it has plenty of potenial for growth.
- Delete per nom. Just an appearance is not a defining characteristic, so I doubt about the potential for growth. Marcocapelle ( talk) 18:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: I see no rational basis for the characterization here. What makes a kids show surreal? None of the articles use the word anywhere other than categorization. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 04:43, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Unneeded category, presumably meant to be an intersection of Category:Surreal comedy with Category:Children's television series. – LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄) 05:11, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: I don't feel this is a WP:DEFINING category. We only have this for US Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Irish Taoisigh. Being related to a US Secretary of State isn't nearly as defining as President; many of those people had other positions that were as or more notable. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 04:38, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Trauma Center to Category:Trauma centers

- Support. Shame about the spelling of centre, but a US editor got there first so fair's fair :) Grutness... wha? 02:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support - these all seem to be in the US. There is Major Trauma Centre for the UK but its articles have not been added. Oculi ( talk) 10:28, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete as it concerns a non-defining characteristic of the hospitals in the category. Manually move the three topic articles to Category:Emergency medicine. Marcocapelle ( talk) 19:09, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Delete These all seem to be in the USA. Trauma centers are not free standing, so this is not really a defining characteristic. Quite a few of the entries are actually disambiguation pages. Rathfelder ( talk) 22:08, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
