Suggested renaming

Category:Cricket deaths to Category:Cricketers who died while playing – The present title is rather ambiguous whereas the proposed rename makes it clear which articles are suitable for inclusion. Bikeroo (talk) 16:35, 27 November 2014 (UTC).[reply]

When creating this category, I checked other members of the category Category:Deaths in sport. There didn't seem to be a consistent pattern but "<sportname> deaths" seemed to be a common name. Note that unlike motorracing, there are very few deaths in cricket and so the potential number of articles to be included in this category is quite small - but it is broad enough to cover articles such as Bob Woolmer. This wouldn't be suitable if the category was renamed. -- Chuq (talk) 01:28, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bikeroo: where was the discussion prior to moving this category? People are now removing the articles from the category because they didn't die while playing - but shortly after. -- Chuq (talk) 10:12, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have reversed the undiscussed move. Please do not use the move function to move a category; instead, seek consensus at WP:CFD or list the category at WP:CFD/S if it meets one of the 'speedy renaming' criteria. Thank you, -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 20:04, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
