Nominator's rationale:Rename. I suggest renaming to match
Revenge (TV series). These are episodes of the TV series named "Revenge", not television episodes of a "revenge genre" where the plot focuses on someone getting revenge.

this link, for instance.) Being awarded this honor is not a defining characteristic for any individual.

rename per nom there are 39 subcategories which are not going away anywhere. A supercategory is certainly needed in this case for navigation to them. 'Delete' is not the answer to every nomination here--it just gets in the way of thoughtful discussion. Study of each country subcategory and their regions is required instead if deletion of any of them is suggested.

Well, the category includes
Islamic conquest of Afghanistan and
Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent (as well as
Muslim conquests, which is the main article you refer to I guess). And those are only three articles in the category that use either "Islamic" or "Muslim" in the title. So I guess you're right about random use. I'm not voting and it's OK with me whatever is decided, but if it's really random and close to 50/50 usage, why not just leave it alone.

Rename to
Category:Military spread of Islam. Conquest is a hard to define term, especially since some such as Timur's invasion of Georgia was a short-lived thing. There is no good reason to seperate various military actions, and in the case of India some things were more short-term invasions that full-fledged conquests.

rename per nom to
Category:Muslim conquests following the main arcticle
Muslim conquests. Since 'Islam' refers to the religion and its doctrines and 'Muslim' refers to believers in Islam (people), it seems very appropriate that conquests, which were carried out by the actions of poeple, should be named 'Muslim'. This applies to all such conquest categories and articles.
Hmains (

This seems like busy work. From the main article: Muslim conquests (
Arabic: الغزوات, al-Ġazawāt or الفتوحات الإسلامية, al-Fatūḥāt al-Islāmiyya) also referred to as the Islamic conquests or Arab conquests... The main article uses a title that's probably as good as the alternatives; see
WP:TITLECHANGES.

Delete Anyone commenting here without reading the

laugh track.
