|
| Category:Alfred A. Knopf books |
keep. We have supported "works by publisher" before in record labels, games, comics, newspapers, and other such forms. Books seems no different, as the Keep arguers suggest. However, I do agree with the Buckland point; it's not the notability of the publisher that matters, it's the notability of the work. So that discussion seems like it could be reopened, especially if an article about Buckland is created |

do not rename. However, the nominator is correct about those subcategories, which should be nominated for renaming |

|
| Category:Avant-garde and experimental films by director |
keep. The case for splitting the avant-garde and experimental films, or perhaps deleting the avant-garde ones and renaming to "Category:Experimental films," is strong enough to warrant a second nomination. Also, I've moved all the individual films out of Category:Expressionist film and put them into Category:Avant-garde and experimental films. Finally, I've listed Category:Expressionist film for speedy renaming to Category:Expressionist films, since it is almost entirely composed of individual films |

no consensus. The scheme is the scheme, and this fits neatly in it. But there might be support for changing the scheme because it creates singletons like this. A more global nomination is needed |

procedural close. I'm closing this because it seems like no one else wants to, and because there's no "delete, keep, or rename" required by this nomination. It seems like consensus is not achieved for putting it in top level, but maybe moving it closer (say, under both Formal Sciences and Applied Sciences) might make sense. Just my opinion, though |

|
| Category:Franconian Saale basin |
no consensus to merge to the now-renamed Category:Main (river) basin, but three out of four were in favour of changing the category in some way (IP user wanted to go further than the others and do an upmerge, and nominator would have been OK with that too); so rename to Category:Franconian Saale for now. Regarding the voice opposed to doing anything: there is indeed a difference between a river and a basin, but as it stands right now, the category seems to contain articles that make it of the type contained in Category:Categories named after rivers and is not a typical "river basin" category |

| Category:Scottish politicians convicted of fraud |
administrative close; categories deleted until at least the resolution of the relevant DRV. These categories should not have been created until this DRV has been resolved. If Category:Persons convicted of fraud does not exist and is currently being debated, users cannot get around CFD/DRV results and process simply by making categories even more narrowly specific. Both the nominated category and the target category were created while the DRV was ongoing. We can assume per WP:AGF that the category creators were simply unaware of the ongoing processes relating to this category tree. Because of the unusual nature of this situation, I will not remove the articles from the deleted categories at this stage. (To be clear, the categories could be re-created after the DRV closes, at which time they may be nominated for deletion, merging, or renaming as usual. The only difference is that at that point, we will have the DRV results to assist in the discussion of where to go from here.) |

| Category:Scottish politicians convicted of fraud |
UpMerge to Category:Scottish_politicians_convicted_of_crimes and Category:British politicians convicted of fraud. The usefulness of a category with just one entry is doubtful.

|
| Category:Springfield College - Massachusetts alumni |
There is a consensus that the category needs to be changed, but there is disagreement and no consensus on whether it should be merged to Category:Springfield College alumni or if both the nominated category and the target category should be merged into a new Category:Springfield College (Massachusetts) alumni. For now, to avoid a do-nothing "no consensus" result, we will merge to Category:Springfield College alumni as nominated since the two categories are clearly duplicates. The arguments for renaming the target category to Category:Springfield College (Massachusetts) alumni are good ones, but we cannot do it at this stage because besides there being no consensus to do so, Category:Springfield College alumni was not tagged with Template:Cfr. As some users mentioned, the most productive course may be to propose a rename of the article Springfield College to Springfield College (Massachusetts) and then to nominate Category:Springfield College alumni for renaming if the article is renamed. Anyone looking to do clean-up work in this area note that there is also Category:Springfield College - Massachusetts as a parent category |

|
| Various river basin categories |
allow renaming from "basin" to "drainage basin" only, where appropriate. We have reached consensus that "basin" is ambiguous and cannot be left alone. So where a category contains articles about the basin, it can become "drainage basin." But changing "basin" to "tributaries" has not been endorsed. So this close will change Category:Reuss basin to Category:Reuss drainage basin and Category:Aar basin to Category:Aar drainage basin, and do nothing with the Moselle and Saar categories. The latter two can be renominated for further discussion, though |
