Category:Fictional television shows with religious themes

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the discussion was: Rename to Category:Television series about religion; revisit if necessary. There's multiple options flying around and no support for the current title; this seems to have the best weight of precedent. Timrollpickering 00:25, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Propose renaming Category:Fictional television shows with religious themes to Category:Religion in television
Nominator's rationale: "Fictional television shows" refers to made-up shows from works of fiction. This is about real shows that are works of fiction. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 23:05, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Category:Non-documentary television shows with religious themes. Otherwise it will be a mix of factual shows and comedies, dramas, etc. I'm about to make a subcat, BTW, for Category:Religious comedy television series (which fits the naming standards for other comedy series themes). Grutness...wha? 02:12, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. Note for the alternative proposal that we normally do not describe categories by what it is not, we describe them by what they are. And there wouldn't be anything wrong with documentary television shows included in this category. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:34, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Between the two posited renames; I'd prefer that by Grutness for the reasons that editor articulates. Perhaps the wording problem articulated by Marcocapelle can be addressed by some rephrasing Category:Religion in fiction on television or something like that to exclude documentaries, which ought not be lumped together with fiction.

  • Suggestion can't we rename as nominated and create a subcategory Category:Documentary television series about religion as soon as there is enough content? It would be entirely similar to Category:Films about religion and Category:Documentary films about religion. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:31, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • That would separate the two and provide a clear distinction. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:43, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sounds good to me. Grutness...wha? 01:38, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pic'n mix: Rename to Category:Non-documentary television series about religion - the documentary series need to be kept apart. Possibly Category:Television drama series about religion. Johnbod (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • We do not have any other non-documentary categories and I do not think we should have them either, per earlier comment. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:31, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It has enough topics to keep. This category brings order to the topic and should be kept. If you want Wikipedia to become less organized and harder to use, then delete it. Also if deleted, for once will someone fix the categories after you destroyed everything. Dont destroy unless your're going to help fix what you broke.

Nominator's rationale: Category has just two entries. One of which is a redirect. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:01, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
