You can't pick "Stopped" as the only valid verb, than suppose that "ChannelStopped" is the same thing as "ChannelDestroyed". The two have vastly different semantic meanings - one implies stopping an ongoing action (in which case, is Channel an object or an operation?) - the other implies that an object's lifetime has ended and its resources reclaimed. I'm not comfortable making unilateral rules such as this and applying them to any interface. If there are particular events that fail to convey their semantics given their current name that's worth having a discussion over; otherwise, I'm not sure I'd proceed with this change.
