- Oppose speedy There is no clear convention for the proposed format in Category:Subfields by academic discipline, and therefore C2C doesn't apply. Armbrust The Homunculus 18:44, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Of course there is: the convention of of the parent category, which features the keyword "Subfields", not any of "sub-disciplines", "disciplines", "branches", "fields", or "areas". fgnievinski (talk) 01:16, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
- Clear convention means almost every category in uses the proposed format in the tree. Currently, however, only 8 of the 32 subcategories of Category:Subfields by academic discipline uses the "Subfields of FOO" format, so it's not a clear convention.

- Support it's simply citing the wrong criterion; we normalize subcat names to parentcat names absent an unusual reason not to. No prejudice against a later and larger CfR on the whole tree to use one convention consistently. This one should be done per WP:COMMONSENSE anyway, since "branches" is a vernacularism; people actually in academic disciplines/fields don't call them "branches" (or "areas" for that matter; "areas" means topical scopes of focus/specialization by individuals or groups, and "branches" doesn't really mean anything). — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 21:35, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Support with SMcCandlish.- Oppose speedy, CFR instead Start a proper CFR and link it to science projects. What is needed here is the participation of as many people from many different disciplines/fields as possible. CN1 (talk) 13:58, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Many of these have pages associated with them, often of the same name (e.g. Branches of botany, Archaeological sub-disciplines, Branches of science), which seem to indicate that "subfield" is not the accepted standard (as a historian it is not, for what it is worth, the term that I would reach for to describe my own research area). More importantly, these pages indicate that a decision made here will have impacts beyond categorisation - so discussion should take place in a venue where input from a wide variety of wiki-bureaucrats, not just those of the categorisation sub-field, have a reasonable chance of participating. Also, it would be a great shame to lose "branches of botany." Furius (talk) 00:42, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose. Fields of mathematics is bad enough but subfields is worse — both field and subfield are technical terms in mathematics with specific meanings that are unrelated to research categorization. The old name Category:Subdivisions of mathematics (replaced in 2011) was much better. This is the sort of problem created by trying to fit all of these different subjects into a single restrictive naming scheme. I imagine the same issue will come up in other subjects as well; anyway my position is that, for consistency, we should agree to remain inconsistent. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
