The result of the debate was Rename category per below and previous discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 41. Note that I am only renaming this one category. If there are several very similar categories to be renamed, I would suggest a single group nomination for them. --RL0919 (talk) 18:58, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I would like to rename the above category to something like Category:English football, defender, 1880s birth stubs in order to not try and infer nationality when it may not be known, having already changed the explanatory text at the associated template (Template:England-footy-defender-1880s-stub) and the explanatory text at the top of the category page. If this is deemed acceptable I would then be looking to similarly rename the other English football bio categories, and then other countries. I would welcome any thoughts on an alternative rename. Thanks. Eldumpo (talk) 09:41, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

 * This was discussed at WT:FOOTY, with a general consensus that renaming the category would be the correct approach. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:33, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
