merge. Although the discussion below could have been closed as "no consensus", the nominated categories were recently created without prior discussion, in the face of known controversy over the naming of "churches"/"church buildings"; for them to remain in use by default would be a case of WP:GAMING. I am therefore closing as merge per Option A on the grounds that no persuasive rationale has been put forward as to why this continental/national tier should differ from the predominant naming consensus that was established at CFD in 2015, or why the hierarchy needs an additional tier i.e. both "churches" and "church buildings" |

do not delete, and rename somehow. Beyond that, preferences are evenly divided; some editors prefer one hierarchy to two, which would use "programming", but others prefer "shows" and/or "episodes". In this situation it is up to the closer to make a choice, and consistency with other categories will carry weight. I am influenced by the siblings Category:Television shows by writer and Category:Television episodes by writer and therefore close as "option E" = option A + B, i.e. both Category:Television shows by director and Category:Television episodes by director, and rename the sub-cats according to their contents. – |
