- Nominator's rationale: I can discern no meaningful difference between this category and Category:Sporting goods manufacturers. This category's description suggests that it should contain "companies or brands" whereas the other should contain "organisations", but that is not the case in practice. All members of this category also appear in either Category:Sporting goods manufacturers or one of its country-level subcategories, so nothing will be lost through deletion.

- Propose renaming Category:Football manufacturers to Category:Association football equipment manufacturers
- Nominator's rationale: I am ambivalent about categorizing sporting goods manufacturers by sport due to the fact that many manufacture goods and equipment for multiple sports. However, for now, I am only proposing to rename this category to bring it in line with the naming conventions of its parents. (Pinging the category's creator, User:Raavimohantydelhi) -- Black Falcon ( talk) 21:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

- I think this would be non-defining. Are any sporting goods manufacturers defined by their production of balls as opposed to other types of sporting equipment/gear/products? For example, Adidas manufactures footballs, but it is one of countless products and hardly a defining feature of the company. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 05:10, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

- Can you provide additional context for why you think the separation is unnecessary? Also, please do not depopulate the category while the discussion is open, as it makes it much harder to evaluate the claim that "separation is unnecessary". For example, what did
Category:Userboxes look like before you moved the subcategories? Thanks, --

- An easy example to answer both questions would be Category:Location user templates. It was never part of Category:Interest user templates. I posit that it would be much easier for a user to find Template:User Canadaphile ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) in Category:Canada user templates, than in Category:Interest user templates. Even though there is Category:Regional interest user templates*, which was part of Category:Interest user templates. Trying to keep "interest" user templates categories organised will only lead to unnecessary duplication of every topic category from Category:Userboxes in tree under Category:Interest user templates. The end goal is to have user templates category tree to just roughly mimic tree of Category:Wikipedia templates by topic, without having an "interest" category for every "plain" category. *Footnote: there is a plan to greatly simplify the location userboxes category tree by improving tree of Category:User templates by country.
- Full answer to your second question: before depopulation of Category:Interest user templates, it contained following user templates categories: comedy, fantasy, fashion, food, regional activity, regional interest, international organization, fandom, sports, computer-related, media, occupation, transport, travel, weapons, history, horticulture, philosophy, scouting, political.
- Just to clarify: this upmerge discussion is part of an
effort by WikiProject Userboxes to
better organize categories of user templates. —

- Thank you for providing this information and the links. Looking at the list, I agree that "interest" is being applied too broadly, but I am not sure if it is entirely without use. As I do not, unfortunately, have the time right now to delve into this more deeply, I will defer to you and others who are able to give it more consideration. -- Black Falcon ( talk) 02:21, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose, moving subcategories from
Category:Interest user templates to
Category:Life user templates, as happened here, is not solving any problem. This category is about interest and "life" is too general to be a reasonable substitute.
