*It's quite difficult to categorise rebels by nationality or geography, because if they are successful nations or boundaries may change. This seems a reasonable solution for this particular situation. And there are issues about the difference between rebels and revolutionaries. I think rebels are fighting for a change of control in the place where they live. Revolutionaries generally have wider aims.

* '''Support''', the current category name wrongly suggests that it is about revolutionaries against the state of Israel. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 07:29, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
* '''Rename to [[:Category:Jewish rebels in Mandatory Palestine]]''' or something similar. If the scope is Mandatory Palestine, we need to make this clear, not to include any Jew who has been a rebel or a revolutionary anywhere any time, such as Trotsky, the Maccabees and [[:fr:Jacob Pereira|Jacob Pereira]].

* Comment: What happened to the idea for replacement categories / lists such as mentioned at the given discussion? I actually found the category useful.

::I also found the category useful but since everyone else disagreed I considered it better to delete. You are welcome to try to come up with a replacement that isn't ambiguous.--[[Special:Contributions/Obi2canibe|Obi2canibe]] ([[User talk:Obi2canibe|talk)]] 18:05, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
* '''Delete'''. These categories would imply that ''the popular vote winner'' is clear without a doubt for these elections, however this can, in fact, never be the case as it is open to many interpretations (e.g. plurality vs. majority). The only way to break this ambiguity would be for an official election authority to declare who the ''popular vote winner'' is, but that cannot be the case in most circumstances, precisely because they are in the business or declaring the actual winner. Also, the word ''not'' in a category title is usually a clue for problems coming, a bit like the word ''and''.

*'''Support'''. Yeah, because of [[Georgia (U.S. state)]] we always use "Foo from Georgia (country)" to avoid ambiguity. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...''<small>[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color: #008822;">wha?</span>]]</small>'' 12:04, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
* '''Delete''' [[:Category:Georgian opera singers]] since it has an ambiguous name and it seems to have an identical scope as [[:Category:Opera singers from Georgia (country)]] which is not ambiguous. [[User:Marcocapelle|Marcocapelle]] ([[User talk:Marcocapelle|talk]]) 12:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
* '''Delete''' as above. [[User:Place Clichy|Place Clichy]] ([[User talk:Place Clichy|talk]]) 20:50, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

::That would still remove them from [[:Category:Portuguese-language telenovelas]]. <b>[[User:DexDor|DexDor]]</b><sup> [[User talk:DexDor|(talk)]]</sup> 16:01, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
* '''Merge''' to [[:Category:Brazilian telenovelas]] (a subcat of [[:Category:Portuguese-language telenovelas]]) per Marcocapelle. [[User:Oculi|Oculi]] ([[User talk:Oculi|talk]]) 15:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
* '''Merge'''. [[:Category:Brazilian telenovelas]] is currently a subcategory of [[:Category:Portuguese-language telenovelas]], so it's a no-brainer. [[User:Place Clichy|Place Clichy]] ([[User talk:Place Clichy|talk]]) 20:50, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
