==[[:Category:Ulster Unionist Wikipedians]]==
Seems to be an orphan Userbox category and should be deleted. TCorp 23:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Delete wikipedia categories are getting increasingly political and this has the ability to undermine the whole wikipedia project, it detracts from what wikipedia is, an encyclopedia. (Note: for anyone that thinks I might be doing this because I am Irish note that I voted for the deletion of :Category:Irish Republican Wikipedians recently). Djegan 13:35, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

- Mild leave as is If you go to :Category:National Security Agency, there are several sub-categories with "NSA" in the title. One could change them all, I suppose, but there must be better ways to spend one's time. People interested in the subject know what NSA means. --agr 21:02, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

==[[:Category:United States Students' Unions]] to [[:Category:United States student governments]]==
Should this be called United States student governments since this is the usual term in the United States for them? (For example, the category for Canada is :Category:Canadian Students' Associations.) If there's no objection, I'd like to move this to :Category:United States student governments; this will still remain a subcategory of :Category:Students' unions. OCNative 07:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Rename as proposed. The third and fourth capitals should do in any case. Carina22 16:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
- Not American, but are they really called that? They're called Students' Unions in Britiain, or "student politics" at best. (They're also called a "waste of time", and a rename along those lines is also acceptable to me.) -Splashtalk 00:08, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to "Student governments of the United States". They're not really called anything, usually, as members will refer to themselves as "student body president/treasurer/brownnoser/goody two-shoes, etc., but calling them "United States student governments" makes them sound like official bodies of this country in some fashion. siafu 00:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Rename per nom. "Student union" in the U.S. commonly refers to a student union building and not the organization (which itself takes many widely differing forms, some of which cannot reasonably be called a student union or student association).- choster 21:43, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- Rename to "Student governments in the United States". "In" unambiguously indicates location, whereas "of" could indicate officiality. ~~ N (t/c) 16:55, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- Note from closing admin - no consensus other than to rename. If the editors participating in this discussion can come to a final name decision on the talk page I will change this to RENAME. --Syrthiss 19:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
