:* Propose renaming :Category:Songs from animated films to :Category:Songs written for animated films

:Nominator's rationale: rename and purge, this is follow-up on a similar earlier discussion regarding the parent category. "Written for a film" is a defining characteristic of a song, but it was an existing song just used in a later film then the film is not defining for the song.

• Rename and purge, e.g. Changes (David Bowie song) was in Shrek 2 but not written for it, so it is non-defining for it to be in this category. – Fayenatic London 11:27, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• Support as above. Purging will be necessary. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:02, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|WikiProject Women music}}

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Spectra Animation}}

:Nominator's rationale: Eponymous category for a television production company, without the volume of spinoff content needed to warrant one. There are just three shows filed here, and the company doesn't even have an article about the company at all -- so this is just a WP:SMALLCAT, because there just aren't enough articles here to justify a dedicated category.

:* Propose renaming :Category:Members of the Sejm of the Polish People's Republic (1976–1980) to :Category:Members of the Polish Sejm 1976–1980

:* Propose renaming :Category:Members of the Sejm of the Polish People's Republic (1980–1985) to :Category:Members of the Polish Sejm 1980–1985

:* Propose renaming :Category:Members of the Sejm of the Polish People's Republic (1985–1989) to :Category:Members of the Polish Sejm 1985–1989

:Nominator's rationale: Rename for consistency within :Category:Members of the Sejm by term. Somehow these three periods were omitted from Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2016_July_16#Members_of_the_Sejm_YYYY-YY, which settled on "Members of the Polish Sejm" without being more specific about precisely which republic it was at the time. Since that CFD, the date format has been expanded from 2-year to 4-year dates. – Fayenatic London 14:53, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

• Speedy rename per WP:C2C. Marcocapelle (talk) 16:26, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
• It looks speedi-able within the parent mentioned above, but less clear when :Category:Members of the Sejm of the Polish People's Republic is in view. – Fayenatic London 11:30, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
• Rename -- Categories such as these are better for having short names, to limit cat-clutter. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:16, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

:The result of the discussion was: merge. (non-admin closure) DannyS712 (talk) 00:55, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose merging :Category:Abrahamic religions and LGBT topics to :Category:LGBT and religion

:Nominator's rationale: merge, this will make it easier for readers to find the Christian, Islamic and Judaic category next to the Buddhist and Hindu siblings. While "Abrahamic religions" is not wrong, it is quite a specialist term, not recognizable for too many people. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:17, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

• Support, as :Category:Abrahamic religions has no similar topical subcategories. – Fayenatic London 15:12, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

:* Propose deleting {{lc|Middle-earth words}}

:Nominator's rationale: There's only one article in this category, and it is about a poem of that name, not the word itself. There's no good category to upmerge to. Furthermore, most of the redirects seem to be used in the context of names of things, not in the sense of the actual words themselves having an linguistic importance. Hog Farm (talk) 05:59, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

• Delete. Even as a fan of Middle-earth literature, I concur that this category is not useful for navigation. – Fayenatic London 15:05, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
• Delete. This is a problem of Use–mention distinction. The category seems to imply an article on the word "Aerlinn", but really the article redirected to by Aerlinn covers a song with the title "Aerlinn in Edhil o Imladris". To give another example, it would be wrong to put Cheese in :Category:Words starting with C because the article is about the topic of cheese not the word "cheese".
