Rename to Category:Women and STEM fields (after Category:Women and science) or something similar. Individual women working in STEM can be categorized by their field, not lumped into this broad category. -- Themightyquill (talk) 22:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no objection. --Camelia (talk) 22:49, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Themightyquill and Camelia.boban: enwiki article is also under the name en:Women in STEM fields. Per eg Category:Women in mathematics, I would rather say that keep.--Estopedist1 (talk) 11:38, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: Is a reason why I gave that name to the category. So, I'm also for keep it, but if are objections and a diverse consensus, I'm not opposing. --Camelia (talk) 14:08, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estopedist1: Firstly, what is done at wikipedia does not dictate what we do here. They are different projects. Second, that wikipedia article is about imbalanced gender ratios of men to women in STEM fields, not a list of women in stem fields. Third, what exactly is the advantage of gathering Category:Women in mathematics, it's parent category Category:Women and science and Category:Female engineers together in one category? Why would we do that? I should add that there's already overwhelming support to get rid of Category:STEM in this discussion. - Themightyquill (talk) 19:15, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
