The result of the discussion was: no consensus. – Fayenatic L ondon 23:14, 20 September 2014 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Channels and users are two different things; this can be seen in the url, which will say either "/user/" or "/channel/". A channel is a group of users united under a common theme. See also Talk:List of the most subscribed users on YouTube#Article title: Channels --> Users. ... discospinster talk 19:18, 27 July 2014 (UTC) reply
  • leaning oppose The thing is, whatever YouTube's naming convention, YouTube's users are in reality the people who log in and upload the material. These articles aren't about those people: they are about the material itself, which absent YT's naming conventions, I think most people would she as appearing in "channels" as the word is used everywhere else. And if we had an article on something which YouTube calls a "channel", it ought to appear in this category. I think a clarifying hatnote is sufficient. Mangoe ( talk) 12:24, 28 July 2014 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename. Good Ol’factory (talk) 02:36, 19 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: This category's contents pertain to association football, and not to any of the other variants of football covered by Category:Football people (such as American football, rugby league, etc.). The reason that almost every subcategory uses the "Football people in FOO" format is due to the fact that association football is called simply "football" in most countries. The same pattern can be seen in Category:Association football by country and throughout the 'Association football' category tree, with international categories using "association football" and national categories adhering to the local variant ("association football", "football", or "soccer"). -- Black Falcon ( talk) 19:00, 27 July 2014 (UTC) reply

Category:Software modeling tools

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Software for modeling software. – Fayenatic L ondon 16:36, 7 October 2014 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Frankly the scope of this category was never very clear. It has UML tools in it but also had MATLAB, which I've removed. This category ( Category:Software modeling tools) was suggested to me at WikiProject Software when I inquired about a category for reverse-engineering tools (which doesn't exist, by the way). But this broader category seem to be more or less the same as proposed target of the merger Category:Computer-aided software engineering tools. I don't mind creating something more specific like a category for software visualization and/or one for reverse engineering tools, but this one appears confusingly named and there's a better named one that's more or less the same thing. The creator of this "software modelling" category also created Real Time Developer Studio, so I think he clearly intended it for the purpose I'm interpreting it as it's main focus. But the name was clearly unclear enough that others added stuff like MATLAB to it, i.e. software that does modelling of anything out there, which is clearly too broad to be a useful categorization.

The result of the discussion was: rename per nom. – Fayenatic L ondon 13:05, 15 September 2014 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Rename and rescope. Firstly, the definition of the category name would include parts of Illinois, since St. Louis is on the Missouri/Illinois border. Secondly, a rescope is clled for, because this category was originally created in isolation from a general ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.›  Category:Missouri geography stubs split; now that such a split has been done (see the map to the right), we should rescope it to fit the rest - which means removing {{ StFrancoisCountyMO-geo-stub}} and adding {{ CrawfordCountyMO-geo-stub}}. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:31, 27 July 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Keep -- There may well be centenary squares elsewhere. For the same reasons, the Birmingham categories, one of which should be a parent here, are at Birmingham, West Midlands, to prevent them picking up articles on Birmingham AL. Peterkingiron ( talk) 17:04, 2 August 2014 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Differential psychologists and and recategorize under Category:Psychologists by school. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:44, 20 August 2014 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: This category relates to the London School of differential psychology, which is just a redirect to the article Differential psychology. In light of the fact that Category:Differential psychology is currently a red link, this category appears premature. At a minimum, the category should be renamed to Category:London School of differential psychology, since the current title misled someone into thinking that it was a university. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 02:54, 27 July 2014 (UTC) reply
