Category talk:Poets from Northern Ireland

Nomenclature

It's a bit weird to have "from Northern Ireland" as the name of this category. Especially as the convention seems to be the adjective rather than the noun form. The noun form "from Northern Ireland" is a bit unwieldy.

Here are examples of the convention just from the category's 'parent' category:

• 20th-century British poets‎ (3 C, 51 P)
• 21st-century British poets‎ (17 P)
• British Catholic poets‎ (3 C)
• Cornish poets‎ (21 P)
• English poets‎ (8 C, 1,450 P)
• Manx poets‎ (19 P)
• British modernist poets‎ (3 P)
• British Poets Laureate‎ (29 P)
• Scottish poets‎ (14 C, 364 P)
• Welsh poets‎ (6 C, 159 P)
• British women poets‎ (6 C, 33 P)
• British poet stubs‎ (1 C, 337 P)

And from the parent of that category:

• Abkhaz poets‎ (4 P)
• Afghan poets‎ (44 P)
• African poets‎ (37 C, 5 P)
• Albanian poets‎ (42 P)
• Algerian poets‎ (18 P)
• American poets‎ (19 C, 2,547 P)
• Anglo-Irish poets‎ (1 C, 1 P)
• Angolan poets‎ (4 P)
• Argentine poets‎ (1 C, 87 P)
• Armenian poets‎ (73 P)
• Australian poets‎ (5 C, 402 P)
• Austrian poets‎ (2 C, 93 P)
• Azerbaijani poets‎ (1 C, 61 P)

• Bahraini poets‎ (7 P)
• Bangladeshi poets‎ (70 P)
• Barbadian poets‎ (6 P)
• Belarusian poets‎ (34 P)
• Belgian poets‎ (3 C, 26 P)

etc

The category should be renamed as 'Northern Irish poets', as is the convention demonstrated above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.88.64.22 (talk) 06:09, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
