Category talk:Canadian track and field athletes

CFD Discussion

 * Category was listed for deletion on February 7, 2005. Consensus was to Keep.

Category contains only 5 articles. Redundant with Canadian athletes at the YEAR SEASON Olympics, or Canadian olympians, or Canadian SPORT atheletes, etc etc. --jag123 10:48, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Athlete is not synonomous with Track and Field Athlete in Canadian English. They are different. As for Olympics subcats, they are not redundant either, since those are for specific Olympics. Same for Olympics, since it is particular to the Olympics. Just because there are no non-Olympic TaFA listed doesn't mean there won't be. I can't find this Canadian SPORT atheletes you're talking about. Mind if you provide a link to that category? Should probably be merged with Category:Canadian athletes, but this category would be a better name. 132.205.15.43 03:30, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I never implied athlete was synonymous with track and field athlete or that the Olympic sub-categories were redundant, but thanks for pointing out the obvious. Perhaps when someone creates articles on non-olympic Canadian track and field athletes, they can recreate the category. Excluding ice hockey, Canada doesn't have many athletes, and even less with articles on here. I don't see how spreading that information across a bunch of under-populated categories helps anything. Also, I don't know where I saw Canadian SPORT athletes, so just ignore it. --jag123 03:57, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. The categories overlap, but they're not redundant. Maurreen 06:15, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
