- I think the title should be titled, "List of Hongkonger ODI cricketers", since most of the article related to this one have the format, "List of (Demonym) ODI cricketers". -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 07:46, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- I disagree; that leads to strong problems with picking a demonym, as not every case is clear-cut. (Ivorian? Ivoirian?) Furthermore, I tend to think of demonyms as denoting ethnicity or citizenship; this is merely people who have played for Hong Kong in an ODI. I wouldn't call everyone who has played for the Yankees a New Yorker. --Golbez (talk) 08:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- So should List of Australian ODI cricketers be "List of Australia ODI cricketers"? -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 08:28, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Actually, I may have spoken too soon; it appears that this *is* supposed to be ethnic/national? Like saying the Russian Olympic team, the Australian national cricket team, etc. However, I note that that article is at Australia national cricket team. So in that case, yes, the better option would probably be to say "List of Australia ODI cricketers". IMO, we need to avoid demonyms in title and category names as much as possible. --Golbez (talk) 22:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Generally, people representing national cricket teams such as for example Australia are Australian, however non-Australians can qualify to play through residency for x amount of years or an Austrlian passport and I think there are probably some other loopholes. Due to this, the lists are being universally moved to, taking an example, List of Australia ODI cricketers rather an Austrlian. Nev1 (talk) 18:49, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
