Neutral/Leave Redirect if Renamed I'll defer to other (Canadian?) editors on the WP:ENGVAR issue. But if it's renamed, please leave the redirect so this doesn't just get recreated later . - RevelationDirect (talk) 02:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Bearcat the ping'd is going to have to go with the oppose on ENGVAR grounds option here, I'm afraid. Per Athletics (physical culture), "in the modern English language the term athletics has taken on two distinct meanings. Its meaning in American English broadly denotes human physical sports and their respective systems of training, the sense described in this article. The other, narrower principal meaning of the word comes from British English and variants within the British Commonwealth; this meaning of athletics refers solely to the concept of the sport of athletics (a category of sporting competition that comprises track and field sports and various forms of foot racing), rather than physical sport in general." The challenge for Canada, of course, is that although we're a Commonwealth country that doesn't mean that we always align with Commonwealth usages in every Commonwealth-vs-US divergence: sometimes we do, sometimes (truck vs. lorry) we don't, and sometimes (DMY vs. MDY date formatting) we get both usages coexisting in a tug-of-war. This one falls under the tug-of-war banner: the national governing body for the sport is called Athletics Canada (where the American equivalent is called USA Track & Field), so the British usage clearly exists, but the word is also used in the more American sense, such as by U Sports (formerly the "Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union") and the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association, both of which include varsity team sports in their mandates. So where the US clearly uses "track and field" instead of "athletics", and most other countries clearly use "athletics" instead of "track and field", the Canadian category was stuck having to somehow juggle both usages, as I just don't see a terribly compelling argument that one usage can be clearly privileged over the other. I am noticing a couple of other oddities in the tree, however: ‹The templateCategory link is being considered for merging.›Category:Track and field in the United Kingdom, comprising a random sample of articles that are already in the ‹The templateCategory link is being considered for merging.›Category:Athletics in the United Kingdom tree in other ways anyway? ‹The templateCategory link is being considered for merging.›Category:Track and field in Canadaseparately existing as a subcategory of this? So there'll be some other things coming to CFD shortly. That said, I would recommend creating the proposed rename as a redirect to the existing category to minimize any potential confusion, which is what I also intend to do with the "track and field" subcategory I mentioned above.

Nominator's rationale:merge, redundant category layer with only two subcategories. Most dynasties only have a "generals" subcategory rather than "military personnel". Marcocapelle (talk) 06:50, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose for now. You've actually created a pretty much duplicate category with Category:Films by screenwriter with a different naming convention. Renaming this is pretty much pointless as it would leave a single category in the new parent you created. Gonnym (talk) 16:08, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Opposing the rename does not seem to help to overcome this problem. The proposed name is still more accurate w.r.t. the category content. Marcocapelle (talk) 18:07, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Royal Society of Chemistry hosts the Faraday Lectureship Prize and this category groups people who gave the talk. Speakers receive £5000, a medal and a certificate. This performance sure isn't treated as defining in the articles, generally getting a passing reference with other honours. The category contents are already listed right here in the main article for any reader interested in the topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Royal Society of Chemistry is a prominent national British group that has 35 local chapters called "Local Sections". I have no conceptual objection to the category but we only have 1 article--South Wales West Local Section--and establishing notability for more will be challenging. (If I'm wrong and 5+ articles emerge, no objection to recreating this category later.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 00:02, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
