| Category:Fictional characters debuts |
rename Category:Fictional characters debuts to Category:Fictional characters by year of introduction and Category:Comics characters debuts to Category:Comics characters by year of introduction; rename all others to "Category:(Fictional or Comics) characters introduced in (year)." There's no consensus either way, and the precedent is old enough that it doesn't hold in the face of this disagreement. The format of the category names is obviously confusing to some, so reverting to the "introduced in" format seems the right way to go. On the "how do we determine the year of introduction?" question, my answer is "do the best you can." In most cases, first publication or first appearance on screen should do fine |

rename Gießen => Giessen, and do not rename the other direction. This was not an easy call. Something needs to change—either the University of Giessen categories or the city of Gießen categories.

A slight majority of commenters here and in the speedy nomination favor the -ss- approach, and the university name makes it clear that the rename is plausible. So I'm going with that |

| Category:Political film awards |
rename. Echoing Dana boomer's relisting comment, it's unclear what there is to listify. We usually listify awards categories if it is populated by recipients—this category does not do that and does not appear to be its purpose. As such, renaming is what consensus sought and received. — |

November 21
|
| Category:Riding masters |
rename to Category:Dressage trainers, which seems to be the least objectionable option (of the ones proposed, that is). The issue of subjectivity hinges, I think, on whether the term "master" is being used subjectively to suggest importance or the phrase "dressage master" is a more-or-less accepted/recognized (by reliable sources) classification. -- |

| Category:Rotary Foundation fellows |
no consensus. The awards discussions aren't much use here, because fellowships have their own scheme at Category:Fellowships that includes several categories on par with this one. Rotary's applicability for category status can't be judged in a vacuum. Perhaps someone should nominate all of those at once and see where people come down |
