Nominator's rationale: Unnecessary and non-defining intersection of two unrelated categories. It's questionable whether the target Category:American animated television programs featuring anthropomorphic characters is even really necessary at all, but it certainly doesn't need a separate subcategory to isolate the adult animation from the rest of it.

Nominator's rationale: Consensus for this tree is that television series should be categorized as "LGBT-related" rather than "LGBT". For an example of why this is necessary, this seems to have been getting weirdly misused as a point of separation between American drama series which centre on LGBT characters as in Queer as Folk and The L Word, which were getting filed here, and American drama series which have LGBT supporting characters as secondary aspects of the show as in Sex and the City and Melrose Place, which were being left in the parent Category:LGBT-related drama television series instead. But that's not the distinction we want this category tree to reflect -- all American shows that are LGBT-related enough to warrant categorization on this characteristic at all belong together, not separated into distinct "LGBT" vs. "LGBT-related" buckets on the question of whether the LGBT content was a primary or secondary theme.

I agree.
If they are moved, 2 subcats Category:2000s American LGBT comedy television series & Category:2010s American LGBT comedy television series also need to be renamed likewise. Jim Michael (talk) 23:28, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: C2C (see Category:Wikipedia categories named after Nazi concentration camps) and C2D (Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp). Current category name is ambiguous. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:28, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Not defining, we don't need cat for famous people. Störm (talk) 10:17, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I doubt if the words 'famous' or 'foreign' occur in any category names that have survived cfd. Oculi (talk)
  • Delete. There are so many things wrong with this: we do not use the category system to distinguish notable practitioners of the same occupation into distinct "famous" vs. "not-famous" camps above and beyond the basic question of whether they're notable enough to be on Wikipedia at all; we don't yoke singers and dancers together in the same category as each other, but rather apply each occupation as distinct categories; we don't use the category system to mark people out as "foreign" above and beyond the basic matter of categorizing people by their actual nationality. Literally the only part of this that isn't a total non-starter is "Bollywood", and we already have categories for that. Bearcat (talk) 14:32, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: Rename. Timrollpickering 11:10, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: At CFD August 13 there was a narrow consensus to use "medical colleges" in the name of the regional sub-category, following local usage. This should apply nationally. Note: If this is approved, it will override any future C2C nomination to revert to the usual "medical schools" (see Category:Medical schools by country).

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:TOPTEN and WP:OCAWARD (WP:NONDEFINING)
In 1998, Barbados celebrated a centenary and created a top ten list (there's literally 10) of influential figures from Barbados' history. Other than sainthood, awards given out decades after a person's death are rarely defining and this category is already listified here.RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notified Ser Amantio di Nicolao as the category creator. – RevelationDirect (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep OCAWARD has an exception for the most notable ones, particularly Nobel laureates. This is the state's selection of 10, not that of a random person. We have been deleting national awards given to foreign dignitaries for diplomatic reasons and those given to 1000s of people, but this is different. There is no possibility of expansion.
