- Comment For consistency as most of the subcategory names of Category:Universities and colleges in Punjab (Pakistan) end in “District” both of these subcategories should be merged into Category: Universities and colleges in Multan District. Assuming that all of these subcategories apply to the whole district and not to the main city or town of course? If that is the case then Category: Universities and colleges in Rahim Yar Khan should be renamed Category: Universities and colleges in Rahim Yar Khan District and Category: Universities and colleges in Sialkot should be merged into Category: Universities and colleges in Sialkot District Hugo999 ( talk) 14:07, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

- Nominator's rationale: As far as I can tell, this was nominated for speedy renaming, but never processed. I don't think it's speedy-worthy, but I do agree with the rename.-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 20:03, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
Agree with renameChange to Neutral (for the time being based on Andrzejbanas note)based on previous discussion Keep old name It was four or five years ago that using the word film was deemed preferable that movie. This category must have slipped through the cracks and there may be others out there. Thanks for catching this one MS. The arguments in the old conversation make sense as to why an exception should be allowed in this instance. MarnetteD | Talk 20:28, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Just a note, I was the around when it suggested for a rename. We kept it "Monster Movies" because that's the term most often used opposed to "Monster Films". In a similar case, we aren't chaning "Road Movies" to "Road films" are we? Just something to consider. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 21:44, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your post. Is there any chance that you can provide a link to that past conversation. If it was too long ago and/or would take up too much time to dig back please don't worry about it. One odd thing though my memory is that I have usually seen the Hope/Crosby gems as "Road Films" Oh well - I think I need to wait and see what others post before making a final decision.

- Thanks for the archeological dig hope the dust and cobwebs didn't make you cough too much. I grew up with a TV station that had a Friday night twin bill of horror/monster films that they called "Creature Features". I don't think that would fly as a cat name though. Thanks again to Mike for his efforts in this too. MarnetteD | Talk 01:51, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

- keep as is I still find the arguments from the 2006 debate convincing and relevant to today's situation. Pichpich ( talk) 05:37, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- 'Sad keep One of a handful of exceptions where "movie" is used instead of "film". Road-movie, B-movie being the others.
Lugnuts (
talk) 06:36, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Well, I'm certainly not arguing for "B-films," though I could imagine "Road films." Is "monster movie" trying to be something more limiting than "film with a monster in it"? I guess that if so, the genre name makes sense. If not, I'm still happier with "Monster films."-- Mike Selinker ( talk) 15:42, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
