Merge. Final name should be "FC Tsarsko Selo Sofia players", no opinion on the technicalities of which was older and if a deletion should be done too.--

Nominator's rationale: The title is confusing, as it could refer to games where the player is a musician (i.e. Gitaroo Man) rather than based on them as it clearly implies. Also, a musician simply appearing in a game is not defining, so the proposed title runs less afoul of
WP:NONDEF.

These are low-budget, independent films, intentionally avoiding digital lensing. This category was deleted in 2007, film esthetics have changed.

I'm looking at some of the articles in the category, and am struggling to see how being filmed in 16mm is defining to the film. For example, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre makes no mention of this in the lead, and it's buried mid-way down the article (in the filming section). No-one who's asked have you seen The Texas Chain Saw Massacre replies with the answer - "That film shot in 16mm? Yeah!" Some other articles mention it somewhere, some do not.

Well, those movies are well-known for being in black-and-white since it's obvious to the person watching the film. However, it is not obvious if a film was shot in 16mm unless there's a reliable source/interview that says so.

Well, I believe that all existing categories are somewhat obvious. Country of origin, who made the film, when it was released, where the film's story is set and what's it about, and who released the film can be found quite easily. The way the film was shot, like its aspect ratio or the type of cameras and stock film (mm) that were used are not. They require a source to verify.

Nominator's rationale: I do not know how to nominate several subcategories for deletion, but one thing that is clear is that all of the subcategories for "Category:Jazz vibraphonists by genre" need to absolutely be deleted. A simple "Category:Jazz vibraphonists" would be all that's needed.

Support The entire category tree contains less than 50 articles. I am typically in favor for small categories, but not when we split a small category to dozens of smaller ones.

Six is the maximum here and that applies to one subcategory only. With currently only 16 articles in this tree in total this split is really not helpful.

Comment: These sit under the
Category:Musicians by instrument and genre tree so "are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme", which would suggest their retention. That said, the problems mentioned above (small numbers, duplicated appearance across multiple categories) are a consequence of excessive genre-chopping; using Petscan shows interection between Jazz vibraphonists and <subgenre> musicians which could give some extension (as well as omissions such as Bebop vibrophonists), but some of the current subgenres just make it a struggle to find anyone (e.g.
Gary Burton).
