:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Side dishes}}

:Nominator's rationale: Whether bacon, baked beans, baked potato, broccoli, cabbage etc are a side dish or not depends upon your culinary habits. Previous CFDs (some examples) have established that this sort of category is not appropriate for basic foodstuffs. DexDor ^(talk) 19:53, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

• Support per nom and per precedent. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:15, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support per precedent. Whether they are side or main dishes is rather too close to a POV issue. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support per nom & precedent. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:01, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support what is a side dish, main course, or snack varies. RevelationDirect (talk) 10:18, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete Seems to be a POV category. Dimadick (talk) 12:57, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete Too arbitrary. Many people eat baked potatoes, bacon and other items on this list as a main dish. Many will eat apple sauce as an snack on its own. Some will eat it as a main dish, especially if under restricted diets.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Philippine LGBT-related satirical films}}

:Nominator's rationale: Single-entry category which is a triple intersection of nationality and genre and LGBT-relatedness. This is not a helpful layer of categorization as such, nor is it one that even has any siblings at this level — and with just one film in it, it's a WP:SMALLCAT violation to boot. Delete, and return the film to {{cl|Philippine satirical films}}, {{cl|LGBT-related satirical films}} and {{cl|Philippine LGBT-related films}} as discrete categories rather than a triple-intersected one. Bearcat (talk) 14:46, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 18:53, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
• Merge per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:14, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete no WP:RS to show this is a genre, and suffers from the same problems all "-related" and "about" film categories: how much about the subject must it be for inclusion WP:SUBJECTIVECAT, and what WP:RS say it's at least that much? Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:03, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
• Upmerge to all parent categories. No indication that this has scope of expansion. Dimadick (talk) 12:59, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
• Delete no justification for such a fine category with one entry.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:12, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Theatres in Skien}}

:Nominator's rationale: There is only one theatre in Skien, Norway, i.e. no potential for expansion. Geschichte (talk) 14:09, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. --Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 18:54, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
• Upmerge to all parents. The parent :Category:Theatres in Norway by city and all its other sub-cats (except Oslo) should similarly be upmerged as none has more than two articles. The Oslo category should become a direct child of :Category:Theatres in Norway. Except in Oslo there do not seem to be enough to merit them beiung split by city. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
• Upmerge to all parents, per Peterkingiron's proposal. Dimadick (talk) 13:00, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
• Upmerge at least until another theatre opens or we get an article on a past theatre (I am not sure if such is even possible).John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:12, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{Lc|Wikipedia user talk archive indices}}

:Nominator's rationale: It's very hard to see why an editor would ever want to navigate to a page using this category. In effect this category is a list of the pages on which :Template:Archive index is used (a similar list can be obtained using [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Template%3AArchive+index&namespace=10&invert=1 what-links-here]). Categories like this do little more than add clutter to their parent category/ies. For info: Many pages-using-
