:* '''Propose renaming''' [[:Category:Radio]] to [[:Category:Radio broadcasting]]
:'''Nominator's rationale:''' The category text and the parent categories make clear that this is specifically for broadcasting, but this category gets lots of things placed in it such as [[:Category:Radio astronomy]]. After any rename further tidying up (possibly including renaming [[:Category:Wireless]] or creating a more general Category:Radio) could be done. Renaming some of the subcategories could also be considered. <b>[[User:DexDor|DexDor]]</b><sup> [[User talk:DexDor|(talk)]]</sup> 07:17, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Line 155 ⟶ 159:
*: The articles on [[radio]] and [[wireless]] show there's enough overlap for both to be subcategories of [[:Category:Telecommunications]] but enough difference not to merge them. Radio has specific meaning to usage of the electromagnetic spectrum between 30Hz to the lower boundary of light at 300GHz. Wireless has a lot of colloquial uses related to not having wires. Specifically wireless can include light (i.e. infrared, laser, etc) and near-field communication which are not radio. Just about any "wireless X" category could be a subcategory or within the category tree under Wireless, influenced by the heavy weight of existing usage. Both categories should rely on their main articles for their definitions. It's OK for something to be categorized under both, such as cell phones. Both are big topics - wireless would almost certainly need to be marked with {{tl|category diffuse}}, and maybe radio too.

*'''oppose''' as nominated; support my suggestion above of creating [[:Category:Radio broadcasting]], which I did not actually state my 'vote'. This is not a double vote. [[User:Hmains|Hmains]] ([[User talk:Hmains|talk]]) 16:36, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
