The result of the discussion was: no consensus. It seems from the discussion that there might be scope for a wider renaming of this category and all is subcats, or for creating a new sub-cat Category:The Adventures of Tintin. Either way, feel free to bring this back to CfD for a further discussion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 10:18, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: Brought from speedy to full at suggestion. Propose renaming to follow the main article for the category, The Adventures of Tintin. If passed subcats would be speedied. The Bushranger One ping only 16:22, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Rename When possible, titles of user categories should clearly indicate their nature. Moreover the rename would be consistent with the format of other categories in Category:Wikipedians by interest in an author. Pichpich (talk) 14:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While I'm tempted to agree, it would be a little unfair to target this one and not Category:Wikipedians by interest in an author as a whole. Pichpich (talk) 21:28, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: This is a completely unnecessary split of the existing Category:Motor scooters. No other scooters are grouped by country. Biker Biker (talk) 06:38, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
oppose Category:Motor scooters by country would be a reasonable hierarchy to create. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:05, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That would make sense. --Biker Biker (talk) 21:41, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: no consensus; there seems to be a better case for a mass renaming in other direction. – Fayenatic London 09:25, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator's rationale: All subcategories of Category:Alumni by university or college in Europe except for those in the UK and Ireland use the "(X) alumni" format. As an independent nation, Malta doesn't seem to have a reason to be more like the UK and Ireland than all of the other countries in Europe.-- Mike Selinker (talk) 05:08, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
