Nominator's rationale: Only one article Rathfelder (talk) 22:27, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Erode is one of the major business centres in India, and there are many budding companies that are based out of the city. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samueljjohn (talk • contribs) 16:32, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Currently only one article in category, and I would argue that it doesn't even apply for it. Not enough room for expansion. JDDJS (talk) 17:23, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Since fictional organizations are very rarely actually referred to by hate groups, it becomes too subjective what qualifies for this category. JDDJS (talk) 15:22, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: rename Category:Cult-related books as nominated, Category:Cult-related media to Category:Media about cults. "Category:Media about Foo" is not common, but not impossible to find, either. It may be worth discussing categories using such naming conventions at a later time, but discussion leans in support of employing it here. ℯxplicit 05:52, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: rename ambiguous category title: is this books by cults, or books about cults? It appears to be the latter, so let's name the category accordingly. Similarly for media. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:45, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus (non-admin closure). Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: An unnecessary qualifier as Wiki does not have a category for "Non-military units and formations of the Waffen-SS" K.e.coffman (talk) 06:36, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. The Waffen-SS was a military outfit, so adding "Military" for their units is redundant. Bishonen | talk 11:17, 19 May 2018 (UTC).[reply]
  • Procedural oppose The presence of identically named neighbours for the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe suggests that if this really is an issue, it doesn't exist solely for this one category, but potentially hundreds of categories in the tree Category:Military units and formations. Rename them all, or none at all, that is now a naming convention works. Monkey Bar Freak (talk) 19:38, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SOCKSTRIKE; CU-blocked account. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:30, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to @K.e.coffman and Bishonen: The Category:Military units and formations hierarchy mostly uses the word "military"; the exceptions use a more specific term e.g. "Airborne". Therefore, if "military" was not used on a "units and formations" category in this tree, it could ordinarily be speedily added under WP:C2C. If the SS is counted as paramilitary rather than military, this might be a reason to remove the word "military". However, Bishonen's statement that the SS "was a military outfit" seems to be an argument for keeping the word "military" in common with the rest of the hierarchy. – Fayenatic London 11:48, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Marcocapelle (talk) 06:14, 3 June 2018 (UTC) [reply]
  • Keep - per the parent Category:Military units and formations, the naming convention is indeed to use the same wording for subcats (and I am not CU-blocked). Oculi (talk) 11:13, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Waffen-SS was the military wing of the Nazi party. It did not have naval or Luftwaffe wings, not did it have non-military units or formations. This make "military" redundant. It is as pointless as having "Military units and formation of the British Army", because they are by definition military. I am certainly not suggesting renaming the parent.
