So it seems that this would be like Papers but lower the bar of what's expected? Maybe "Articles" would be a good name? Since that implies something that might get printed in a journal but not necessarily a full scientific study, which is what I think of when I hear "Papers".

I think your suggestion is of the same order as that of Monica in the previous thread: to change the name of the current category, in order to lower and extend the expectations (actually Monica suggested to change the name of the new proposed category). As I wrote in the answer to Olin, the level of the articles can be lowered and the scope of the category extended in one or other way; the name of the category is only a cosmetic detail. I think this would be a wrong choice though, because the "papers" category as defined is good and interesting. The main point is that it is now full of articles that does not correspond to the expectations: think about a newcomer that want to read about original methods and tricks of decent EE level, he looks at the titles of the articles, opens some of them and discovers that they are low level EE stories or insights for beginners in electronics. That's confusing and not very appealing.
