The members of the committee are appointed by the minister and many of those are people who had helped minister/ruling party in elections/politically . There are several such committees at federal and state government levels. Shyamsunder ( talk) 11:12, 13 March 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename to Category:Wikipedia fully-protected files (to be most consistent with others). – Fayenatic L ondon 02:40, 30 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: I'm just wondering if it should be called Category:Wikipedia protected files as I assume non-image files would also go into this category. Also the "Wikipedia" should probably be added for consistency. — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 09:19, 9 March 2016 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was: rename top category, no consensus on alumni. If they are re-nominated, editors nominating/commenting would do well to give examples of precedents. – Fayenatic L ondon 17:00, 29 April 2016 (UTC) reply
Nominator's rationale: Housekeeping item to keep up with current events.
In December of 2015, Hamline University School of Law and William Mitchell College of Law merged as equals to form Mitchell Hamline School of Law ( source). I was inadvertently bold and already expanded the content of the existing category. Typically we update the name of the alumni categories to match the current school name but I'm not sure how we handle 50/50 mergers; I've tagged both in case other editors want to merge them into Category:Mitchell Hamline School of Law alumni though. - RevelationDirect ( talk) 01:39, 9 March 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Comment -- The practice is to merge alumni categories for merged or renamed institutions. The headnote will need to explain this. There may be a case for keeping articles on both past institutions, as well as a separate one of the merged one, but that would only be if they were all large articles. Peterkingiron ( talk) 19:26, 13 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Rename parent category per nom, but oppose merger of the alumni categories. I see no navigational or other benefit in obliterating the separate histories of the two predecessor colleges. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:25, 17 March 2016 (UTC) reply
  • Rename all to be under the current name. We use the current name and ignore the fact that seperate institutions existed in the past. We on rare occasion make excpetions when the past institution was of a different level (a high school as opposed to current college/university) but that is fairly rare. Otherwise we would get way too many overly small categories, considering some institutions of higher learning in the US have gone trhough at least 5 names, and some in Britain and elsewhere may have as well.
