Nominator's rationale: Category doesn't make sense, as Roku isn't an operating system per se. It might make sense to have a category for services and channels carried by Roku, if that was a defining characteristic, but I don't think there are any. Trivialist (talk) 19:31, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete None of the categories entries are software. As the nominator said, Roku isn't an operating system....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:41, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. These are conventional media outlets that happen to have apps for streaming devices, not software, and Roku isn't an operating system. Being available on Roku devices isn't a WP:DEFINING characteristic of any of these per se — they all have apps available for every streaming device that a person might use, including Rokus and AppleTVs and Amazon Fires and proprietary-network smart TVs and Android devices and Xboxes and Bluray players and laptops and the plain old regular old school web, so it would be extreme category bloat to categorize them by every streaming device that exists.

Nominator's rationale: Too little content and there is no scheme of Category:Rights holders by industry trade group. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:52, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
