what is this? Prototyperspective (talk) 22:32, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Male sportspeople. Basically a duplicate category. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 06:08, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Male sportspeople. I agree with the opinion above - the usual category is a duplicate.

I probably didn't create this category exactly, I created it because I saw a red link in the files. I agree with the above, it should be merged. Best, Gadir (talk) 12:58, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would you allow an outsider to throw a question on your discussion table? I think when you say "sportspeople" it doesn't only include athletes but also referees, managers, trainers, et al. Does Commons have a concept/category that is exclusive for the people who participate directly at a sports activity like Category:Rugby players, Category:Tennis players that contain all "players" but leave outside their coaches, managers, trainers...?
Good point, actually the category "Male sportspeople" is linked to the Wikidata item and Wikipedia article of "athlete" so a new subcat would need to be created if all also are sportspeople or the category be renamed. --Prototyperspective (talk) 21:03, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
