The result of the discussion was:keep. Strong arguments that the suggested rename greatly alters the category scope have gone unrefuted. ~ Rob13Talk02:55, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. This form is used for all similar articles on the European Union, because the category is intended to include only those articles that are about the topic in relation to the European Union as a whole (e.g. EU legislation on the topic). Using the wording "<topic> in the European Union" could lead (and has previously led) readers and editors into thinking that "<topic> within the EU" [i.e. in any EU country] is meant. --Boson (talk) 11:51, 3 July 2016 (UTC) PS: The category page has the following in the introduction:"This category is intended only for health matters concerning the European Union as a whole, and the health agencies, programmes, and initiatives of the European Union. For health in the individual countries in the European Union, please use Category:Health in Europe and associated sub-categories." --Boson (talk) 12:50, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No need to get snarky. Please nominate all band members if you think they should go too, but please provide a stronger rationale if you do. Tim! (talk) 17:13, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose This is not overcategorization, nor category by performance. The article on The Three Stooges defines them as a vaudeville act and group of actors that (through a series of line-up changes) stayed active from 1928 to 1975. The closest comparison is to Category:People by organization, which lists everything from music bands to members of large organizations. Dimadick (talk) 14:36, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Opppose This nomination made sense to me and I totally expected to vote delete until I started clicking through the articles. Of the 4 articles I clicked on (Bonnie Bonnell, Fred Sanborn, Christine McIntyre, Shemp Howard), all 4 of them seem defined by career-long involvement with the Three Stooges, not just a passing performance. (Maybe I clicked on a non-representative sampling?) RevelationDirect (talk) 18:11, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The War Victory Cross was automatically given to every soldier who served 4 years in the military of the Slovak Republic (1939–45). Even though that Nazi puppet state was small and only lasted 6 years, it was constantly at war so thousands of these awards were given out per the article. An automatic years of service award just doesn't seem defining. A complete list is not practical but, if we decide to delete this category, there is no need to listify because the current contents are here. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- As long as the articles exist, we should keep the category, which is not empty. If RevelationDirect thinks they articles should not exist, he should take them to AFD, but I doubt that is a sensible option. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:56, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
