 * The result of the discussion was: rename. (non-admin closure) sst  ✈  01:23, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose renaming Category:Life sciences division of Google X to Category:Verily
 * Nominator's rationale: This organization previously had no name. Now it is called "Verily". The category name can change also.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  20:44, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Speedy Per WP:C2D, facilitating concordance between a particular category's name and a related article's name. RevelationDirect (talk) 01:46, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment -- AS this is a common word, is there any risk of it picking up irrelevant articles. Possibly an articles on the "verily, verily" saying of Jesus?  If so, it would need a disambiguator.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:05, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I didn't even know this was a real word, let alone one used commonly. That may be say more about me than the category name though. (-: RevelationDirect (talk) 17:46, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Category:Service Management

 * The result of the discussion was: delete. No merge needed, all of its articles are already in Category:Information technology management. Marcocapelle (talk) 08:28, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Propose Deleting Category:Service Management
 * Nominator's rationale: Per WP:SUBJECTIVECAT
 * Service Management is a vague IT notion that technology should be business focused instead of internally focused. What this category is actually categorizing are various ITIL articles. (Alternatively, if kept, we should rename it to Category:Enterprise service management to match the main article and avoid confusion with supply chain service management.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 03:17, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Note: Notified Fustbariclation as the category creator and I added this discussion to WikiProject Computing. – RevelationDirect (talk) 03:17, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete. The category is underpopulated; its articles fit better into Category:Information technology management, although I'll look into a merger as well. The name, "Service Management", is a poor choice, as it is both ambiguous and unnecessarily capitalized. (c.f. MOS:CAPS and WP:TITLECAPS.)

 * The result of the discussion was: speedy rename under criterion C2.A.  Yes, this is a minor fix, but it is also a quick and easy one; even the comments in opposition do not dispute the accuracy of the change. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:51, 11 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Propose renaming Category:AfD debates (Web or internet) to Category:AfD debates (Web or Internet)
 * Nominator's rationale: "Internet" is usually written with an initial uppercase letter. For example, on this category, the bold text in the lead has a capital "I" in "Internet". GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:52, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose Utter triviality in a part of the site only of significance to a small number of editors (AfD may get heavy traffic, but I highly doubt many of those people pay any attention to these categories). WP:BIKESHED applies here. jcgoble3 (talk) 04:36, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * This is a matter of speedy renaming in this section. I would regard the previous oppose as a procedural oppose because it shouldn't require a full discussion on this platform. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed. I don't care whether this is done or not; the point I was making is that discussion is a waste of time on such a triviality. This looks like it falls under WP:C2A, so let's close this and move on with more important things. jcgoble3 (talk) 07:47, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Support -- Yes, it should have been a speedy, but capitalisation changes often do appear here, e.g. recently on Simplified Chinese script. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:07, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It is a color of the bike shed type of issue. The scope and benefits of the change does not justify its burden. —Codename Lisa (talk) 18:45, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
