:'''Nominator's rationale:''' [[:Category:Films by country of shooting ___location]] does not have an established scheme of using subcategories to segregate "foreign-produced but locally-shot" films from "locally-produced and locally-shot" films for any other country, and there's no reason why the Philippines should need special treatment that other countries' film industries aren't getting. Literally ''every'' country on earth has some "foreign" films shot there in addition to its own native film industry, and the Philippines are not unique in this.

:'''Nominator's rationale:''' Same as [[:Category:Republika Srpska international footballers]] and [[:Category:Republika Srpska official football team managers]], this category supposedly covers non-existent [[Republika Srpska national football team]], and several associate articles. "National team" as defined by Wikipedia article [[National team]] usually doesn't exists at the level of regional football association and regional administrative unit or entity, which is part of FIFA/UEFA affiliated nation/state (in this case Bosnia and Herzegovina) - in essence, it's like saying and creating category "[[Swabia|Swabian]]" or "[[Bavaria|Bavarian]] national football team" instead of "[[German national football team]]". Few articles included in this category are on players, who are already categorized in other appropriate categories. Apart from being on "national team" on local administrative entity which isn't a nation, category practically overlaps with [[:Category:Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team]] - first is administrative part of a nation of Bosnia, and another is nation of Bosnia affiliated UEFA and FIFA member. It can't be this kind of separate categorization on Bosnia and Herzegovina national team, or sportsmen/women for that matter, based on country's administrative entities, and against [[WP:NOTA]], [[WP:NFOOTY]], [[WP:SPORTBASIC]] and especially [[WP:FOOTYN]].

:* '''Propose renaming''' [[:Category:Pop-folk singers]] to [[:Category:Folk-pop singers]]
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' The standard English-language term for the musical genre that blends pop and folk is [[folk-pop]] rather than pop-folk. (Although the term "pop-folk" does seem to also exist for a specifically Balkan variant, it just gets handled as a paragraph within our article about folk-pop, rather than as its own separate article.) Accordingly, this should be named to match the actual ___location of the article. The Balkan country subcategories can keep "pop-folk" if they want on [[WP:ENGVAR]] grounds — but the transnational parent should use the standard terminology, and a couple of the non-Balkan country subcategories should probably be listed for renaming too.
