Nominator's rationale: This category is for microprocessors that implement an
ISA called the Power ISA, and describes itself as such, but it's title is missing "ISA", which could lead to it being confused with the earlier
POWER ISA.

Sorry - please clarify more. Aren't processors branded as "POWER processors", POWER processors, regardless of the ISA tweaks that might be present (perhaps because of evolving generations)? I don't see the distinction you are making, nor why it is useful to make that distinction, so as it stands, my vote would be to oppose.

The category is incorrectly titled. As stated in the category's introductory text, the category is for processors that implement the Power ISA, but the category's title does not reflect this. I don't understand why IBM's POWER processors are relevant to this discussion.

Power Architecture is not a instruction set architecture, but an obsolete marketing term promoted by IBM during the mid- and late-2000s. That there is a
Power Architecture article to which
Power ISA redirects to is disappointing. Renaming the category as such will only serve to confuse and render Wikipedia more inaccurate.

Oppose. I can be convinced to change my vote, but as it stands, this seems like a valid and useful category. The Congo Basin is a major geographical feature around which a certain set of unique flora and fauna would be expected to thrive. Central Africa seems like a larger, more general categorization.

Few, if any, articles in this category mention the Congo Basin; they mostly list the countries in which in the bird is found (e.g. see
Blue-headed sunbird). So how should we decide whether or not an article belongs in the category rather than just being in the Central Africa parent (i.e. what would the inclusion criteria for this category be)? In other words, even if this category might be useful to readers we don't have sufficient information (in articles) to support the category (unless we define Congo Basin by national boundaries - which wouldn't fit geographic reality).
For info: I'm trying to simplify and explain the organisms-of-place categorization scheme (see
User:DexDor/BioGeoCat) with the aim to produce some guidelines; categories such as this (which don't mesh with the rest of the categorization) add to the complexity of the scheme.

When I go to the articles about Corbyn and Cameron each starts "This article concerns the policies, views and voting record of ...". But the American and Philippine articles talk about positions. Maybe this in an
MOS:ENGVAR, which is why I didn't get what the category was about on first inspection?

I agree that this could do with more discussion. I don't think "Policies", "Views", and "Positions" mean exactly the same thing. I'm not convinced that its a useful category at all. All these articles have in common is that they have a seperate article about their views. I guess thousands of biographical articles have extensive coverage of the subjects views. Do we add them to this category?

Comment - [It escaped my notice that this had finally been relisted a month after my request.] Basically, this comes down to the fundamental distinction between politicians on the one hand, and everybody else, on the other. Lots of notable individuals have "views" on all sorts of topics, including political issues. Often their views are complex or nuanced, and fall short of being actual "positions". This stands in contrast to politicians, who may hold nuanced views in private, but are expected to take outright "positions". It's part of the job description.
Thanks, that perfectly explains why most articles in the head category have "view" in the title while all articles in the subcategories have "position" in the title.

Nominator's rationale: ETSU brand standards state, "All teams (mens and womens) should be referred to as Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable." We happen to have Buccaneers and Lady Buccaneers categories. The category to be merged has two dependent subcategories that are not redundant and should be renamed at the same time: East Tennessee State Lady Buccaneers basketball coaches and East Tennessee State Lady Buccaneers basketball players.

The result of the discussion was:(reverse) merge the two categories. Determining the target of the merge was trickier, given the dearth of discussion, but noting that the head article is currently

Reverse merge. The head article has been stable at canton of Vaud since an undiscussed move
[1] in Feb 2018. The category name should align with the head article.
Merge or reverse merge. It looks like "canton of" would mainly be added in the context of a title, but not so much as part of a broader expression like in "people from".
