edit- 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)
Naming
editShould 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 06:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
"Student governments" (standard term) "in" (unambiguously indicates location and nothing else) "the United States" (duh). ~~ N (t/c) 23:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- Came across today and was surprised as I thought consensus was "Student governments in the United States" as well. Perhaps it's time to re-submit. -choster 16:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- No, if the two of you say thats what it was I'm good with dropping it into the rename queue without discussion. --Syrthiss 17:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Article Standards
editPlease be careful when creating Student Government articles. I AFD'd several of them and most were deleted. They must conform with the notability standards of WP:ORG. Remember to gather reliable sources and don't include original research, like lists of officers. If you are a member of the student government, please see WP:COI to determine how to navigate your conflict of interest. --RedShiftPA (talk) 16:46, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- In many cases, the list of officers wouldn't be original research - many student governments publish the lists online. Also, many campus newspapers will report them after elections. --Tim4christ17 talk 17:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Sub categories by state
edit Second opinion requested: I think as there are enough of a diversity in the number of states that the student government represent, that it may be useful to categorise them by state (as I had done with New York). Feedback? Loki190 • Talk • 21:40, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
