The result of the discussion was: keep. ℯ xplicit 00:43, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is NOT a defining characteristic, and it's so broad as to be utterly meaningless. --Calton | Talk 17:34, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question: why hasn't Category:Female characters in television been nominated in conjunction? Marcocapelle (talk) 18:36, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There are many such categories housed in Category:Fictional females by medium and Category:Fictional males by medium. It wouldn't make much sense to delete just one of them. —Xezbeth (talk) 08:13, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Portrayal of men on television is a topic worthy of coverage. At this high level though it feels like the contained articles won't have a great deal directly in common. I would prefer if role or genre was used in child categories, such as male antagonists in television or male characters in television dramas, for example. SFB 19:32, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Remove Yeah I see what you mean. KingOfBacon (talk) 13:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep Nominator's argument makes equal sense for male and female characters in television, and getting rid of just one is pointless; delete both by-sex trees for TV characters, or keep both of them, but don't get rid of one and retain the other. Nyttend (talk) 22:45, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural Keep per Nyttend. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 05:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep. I agree with the nominator's rationale in principle, but it applies equally to the female category as well — so they should be nominated together, not just this in isolation. Bearcat (talk) 14:41, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Category:Scottish devolution to Category:Government of Scotland and other parent categories

Nominator's rationale: upmerge per WP:SMALLCAT, currently only one article and one subcategory. Marcocapelle (talk) 10:44, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw nomination. There are a lot of relevant articles that were not in this category yet. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:39, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was:

Relisted at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2018 April 4#Category:Counties of Appalachia. ℯ xplicit 00:43, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose deleting Category:Counties of Appalachia (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Nominator's rationale: delete per WP:NONDEF, it is based on a single source, of the Appalachian Regional commission which had been established specifically for economic development of the Appalachians. Besides the county articles barely mention that they are on the list of this commission. Note that these counties have already been listified in List of Appalachian Regional Commission counties.
