The comments this post received really got me thinking about more important things than the name.
First of all, should this territory even exist? @benthecarman doesn't think so. He might be right. I will give this thought before next month's fees are due.
@DarthCoin feels like it should only exist if moderated. That makes sense, to the extent that it would prevent crappy, confusing links to be posted. On the other hand, I have an aversion to moderation, and I'm always suspicious of anyone claiming the mantle of supreme oracle, who gets to decide what's good or bad. I actually considered a moderation form that is based on crowd sourcing. Let a consensus of stackers decide what is the best learning material. I don't know whether that's possible, though.
The beauty of stacker news is that it lets the market decide
@DarthCoin guides could exist in this territory. Think about the day you founded: what was the aim? Probably something that was not offered in the main bitcoin territory.
True is that
name make little difference, the contest does much more for a territory to be successful.You'll always find people against you. Believe in your vision and blindly ignore the noise!

Ben is right, the whole territory doesn't make sense.
We better use /bitcoin to educate newbies directly, when is the case.
My guides could be pointed when are needed. I am still not convinced if have to be in a separate repository. Also are many other good guides out there and video tutorials, my guides are quite niche.
I would agree with a special section for newbies, where they can find some guidance, with curated content, and mostly about how to use SN and BTC/LN.
Who to approve this section or maintain it? I don't know, I don't want to be that judge, I was already accused of too many things.
