My main concern is that some of the items in these categories don't really make sense if moved to the proposed new names. For example, Category:Frank Ritter Memorial Ice Arena would be moved to Category:RIT Tigers -- but while some Tigers certainly make use of the arena, the arena seems to fit better in a category that refers specifically to athletics. It's a minor semantic issue, I suppose, but it just seems a little awkward. Powers (talk) 18:04, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Support: I think the move would be a good idea because of the wider usage of, say, "Michigan Wolverines" than "University of Michigan athletics" and it will save time and effort with users who work with HotCat. Case in point: if I have, for example, a Michigan softball photograph and am searching "Michigan Wolverines softball" in HotCat, it is a lot easier to backspace to "Michigan Wolverines" than reenter "University of Michigan athletics" when I discover that a separate softball category does not exist. I realize it may be a minor thing, but it could make things a little simpler for a lot of people. TFCforever (talk) 18:50, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Support: Great idea. I was thinking this long ago myself. Brianreading (talk) 16:18, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Support - I guess I was notified because I created a few of them. The only reason I used this format is because it was what was in use on Commons. I see no reason not to make them consistent with what is done on Wikipedia. --UserB (talk) 01:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Support: Makes sense. BrokenSphere (Talk) 04:22, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose; the semantics of some of the resulting categorizations still bug me. Powers (talk) 23:07, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I don't really understand what you mean. In your example, the only time one would refer to "RIT Tigers" is in reference to the athletic teams. While not everyone may be familiar with the nicknames, the same confusion could come from Category:Dallas Cowboys or Category:River Plate. That said, the arena category would be better off in a Category:RIT Tigers ice hockey subcategory. --Spyder_Monkey (talk) 04:36, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand this objection either. What is the problem with categorizing the ice arena this way? cmadler (talk) 14:09, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose; seems like there is more to a college athletic program then what is represented by their name, so I think using the name might narrow the scope. I recommend using the name as a redirect. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:58, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you clarify what you mean? I don't see how "Clemson Tigers" conveys anything less than "Clemson University athletics". As an example, the website for Clemson's athletics is ClemsonTigers.cstv.com --Spyder_Monkey (talk) 03:40, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose; if you're not American you would be hard to know what is the category with only the name. This makes it difficult to categorize when uploading a file. Metrónomo (talk) 17:53, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose; I can't see that consideration has been given to categorization of historical images. Wouldn't applying the current name of these programs would be unnecessarily anachronistic in many cases? TheGrappler (talk) 22:13, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point. Consider, for example, Category:Miami University athletics; would it make any sense to include Miami Redskins-related images in a category titled Category:Miami RedHawks? Powers (talk) 21:16, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Support per TCFforever; also the change will match the naming convention at the English Wikipedia. cmadler (talk) 19:37, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: In addition to the anachronistic results mentioned above, there's also an issue where some schools use different nicknames for their male and female athletic teams. Powers (talk) 21:18, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The solution used in English Wikipedia articles is to make a distinct nickname redirect to the more-widespread or gender-neutral nickname. For example, "Tennessee Lady Volunteers" (as well as variants such as "Lady Vols") redirects to "Tennessee Volunteers". Likewise, "Lady Longhorns" redirects to "Texas Longhorns". Another solution, which appears to be used in English Wikipedia categories, is to give both names, so we find "Category:Tennessee Volunteers and Lady Vols". Offhand, I don't know what other schools still use this formulation; many have in the past, but it is becoming increasingly uncommon (e.g., the University of Kentucky dropped use of "Lady Kats" for the women's basketball team in 1995). cmadler (talk) 14:09, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Hobart and William Smith Colleges, for instance. At this time, there's no athletics subcat, but if there were, and the above proposal were accepted, would we name it Category:Hobart and William Smith Statesmen and Herons? Category:Hobart Statesmen and William Smith Herons? Powers (talk) 17:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose. Leave as is...this will amount to unnecessary confusion to non-U.S. users, and it feels like this will create more problems than it solves. And, to be fair, this solves absolutely nothing...it is purely aesthetic. — Huntster (t @ c) 20:31, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think non-U.S. users would be confused by this any more than they would by the use of "athletics" to refer to sports in general, and the de facto professional nature of big time college sports. Actually, I'm not sure what the confusion would be about. These categories aren't about sports on various U.S. college campuses. They're about officially sanctioned representatives of universities that are set up as sports organizations and operate on budgets that are separate from the schools. The [University name] [nickname] construct would be a more accurate indication of exactly what these categories are about. That, and maintaining consistency with the English Wikipedia and Wikipedia naming conventions in general. No one talks about playing basketball against the Georgia Institute of Technology Athletic Department - you say "Georgia Tech Yellowjackets". So yeah,  Support. --Ytoyoda (talk) 06:19, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You might have a point about D-I institutions, but at D-III institutions -- some of which are on the list of proposed moves -- athletics are far from "de facto professional" and don't have entirely separate budgets (no more so than "the math department", that is). Powers (talk) 17:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose per FieldMarine. It's not obvious to me that just listing the name of the nickname equals the whole athletic especially in cases where the team has changed name. The w:Marquette Golden Eagles were known as the Marquette Warriors, Blue and Gold, Hilltoppers, and Golden Avalanche in the past 100 years. Royalbroil 11:33, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose far too many items included which do not belong under the team names. Infrogmation (talk) 04:25, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support the general rationalization of university athletic programs proposed above, although perhaps it would have been easier to work on a case-by-case basis rather than trying to change everything at once. In general with US college athletic programs, the single nickname represents all of the athletic programs at a university. Regarding anachronisms, how do we handle other situations where an entity changes name over time while still being recognized as a continuation of the previous entity? Whatever we do there was should follow here. Grondemar (talk) 00:46, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose, I can see these as subcategories. in one case Category:California State University, East Bay athletics has the subcat Category:Pioneer Stadium, which then has the subcat Category:2010 WPS Championship, as the Women's Professional Soccer team FC Gold Pride played there. If other stadia host non school games, then this gets complicated. the stadia are the property of the athletics departments of the schools, and may not be used exclusively by the school teams. To my ear, it just sounds better to use the formal names here. however, not being a sports follower, i will defer to those with more sports editing experience.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:26, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Support I generally support this, using the most modern names, and letting the very rare case of completely different men's/women's team names be exceptions. I redirected Category:Georgetown Hoyas over two years ago, because I felt it was silly to do otherwise. Subcategories, for example are at "Category:Georgetown Hoyas football" or "Category:Georgetown Hoyas basketball". In response to User:FieldMarine, a category called "Category:Georgetown University athletics" I would expect to be more narrow, with only images of the athletics department building or maybe of the school's Athletics Director, not be a parent category for all sports teams.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 19:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd actually go in the other direction, with, for example, "University of Michigan athletics" being a parent category to "Michigan Wolverines", but including also images and categories pertaining to administration (as you suggest) and intramural athletics. cmadler (talk) 12:31, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that's not a bad option, though I do think it would introduce a level of redundancy in the categories. Would stadiums be a subcategory of "University of Michigan athletics" or "Michigan Wolverines" for example (or coaches, individual sports teams, etc)? I don't think many of these categories actually have images pertaining to the athletics administration, and I'd say the vast majority of media relates to sports teams. I also realize this might be a bigger debate between de jure and de facto. Between whether we view these teams as just a department of the university, or as they often function as, a semi-professional athletics system, one that would justify a category structure different from schools outside the United States.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 05:18, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Support Good idea.--GrapedApe (talk) 13:11, 27 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Support This move only makes sense as these are teams are representative of the universities. NThomas (talk) 00:11, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose <The current method of "University name athletics" is already uniform and consistent, thus making searching and categorizing easier—while at the same time reducing the potential for errors. <The proposed change is unnecessary. As I read all of the above opinions, I do find some opinions with merit that support the change, but none that override the arguments as presented by Huntster and Metrónomo. Therefore, keep the existing naming paradigm as is. — Senator2029 21:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that keeping something because it is the status quo is a lousy argument, and one I see rejected again and again on Wikipedia. In naming categories for cities or countries, the Commons doesn't reject local names because non-nationals might not recognize them, so why would we do it here? Conformity is overrated, and I'd say this current category naming system is inaccurate for its subject, and that's just the sort of problem that CfD is able to change.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 23:31, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how it's inaccurate; in fact, the proposed naming system is likely to be more inaccurate in some cases, some of which I brought up above. Powers (talk) 03:02, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is inaccurate because we have official, widely used names for these programs, and we're currently pretending they don't exist. There exists no program actually named "Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University athletics." As to the examples, Wikimedia Commons has no issue with teams that changed names in any other league, so I'm not sure why you're suggesting that there would be problems here. I see media from the Washington Bullets categorized under the Washington Wizards, or the Kansas City Wizards in Sporting Kansas City. In neither case did we choose to ignore their chosen name and refer to them as "Washington, D.C. NBA team" or "Kansas City professional soccer team".
I also see your example of a school that has two different names for its sports teams, and we can discuss the two schools on this list that have different names based on gender: the Cowboys and Cowgirls from Wyoming and Oklahoma State. Like your Hobart and William Smith example, this too is somewhat hypothetical, since there currently is no media related to either school's women's teams. On EN, OSU uses "Cowboys and Cowgirls" while Wyoming is just "Coyboys", noting their women's name in the prose. Either option however would bring the category name closer to being accurate than they are now.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 18:57, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Tennessee also uses different nicknames by gender: Volunteers and Lady Volunteers (or Vols and Lady Vols for short). In fact, until three months ago (7/1/2012), Tennessee had two entirely separate athletic departments. en:Tennessee Lady Volunteers redirects to en:Tennessee Volunteers, but en:Tennessee Volunteers women's basketball redirects to en:Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball. cmadler (talk) 13:40, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be under the impression that college athletic departments are officially incorporated under a particular name, like professional sports teams are. They aren't. By using the descriptive word "athletics" with the name of the university, we are choosing a descriptive term that covers all athletics at a particular college, rather than a restrictive nickname that often applies only to varsity teams (vice club teams, which often use different nicknames). Powers (talk) 01:13, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I actually suggested about a week ago that, for example, "Michigan Wolverines" should be used to cover the varsity teams, while "University of Michigan athletics" should be the parent and also include intramural sports (and, I suppose, club teams, though they often are part of a student organizations or student affairs department rather than any athletic department). cmadler (talk) 16:14, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am under the delusion that all the schools listed above have official team names, which are trademarked, rigidly protected, and widely used. Yes, much like professional sports teams. Official club teams never use nicknames different from the school's official team name. If they do, that means they're not affiliated and don't belong in these categories. What we need are categories for official school sports teams, yes both club and varsity. Anything broader than that, say a photo of your college buddies playing pickup, could go in a separate category, such as a student life category, or in the school's parent category.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 22:46, 2 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just as one example, the Penn State club hockey teams were the Icers; now that they're varsity teams, they're the Nittany Lions. Powers (talk) 18:09, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There's a lot of hypotheticals being brought up here, and I think we're loosing sight of how these categories are actually being used, verses what the current names suggest. Take for example Category:Big Ten Conference teams, a parent category for twelve of the subcategories nominated here. I see that there are no actual teams listed in this conference category, only athletics. And what's listed inside those "athletics" categories? Is it track and field, or other general recreation? No, there are subcategories with names like "basketball" and "football," or media from those teams. We could remedy this by renaming all the above categories from "athletics" to "athletics teams", but look at the subcategories and file in Category:Indiana University Bloomington athletics and tell me they don't have an obvious parent category. The levels above and below the categories here illustrate the problem: These are not categories for the athletics department, they are for sports teams. That's how they're currently used, and should continue to be used, and we need to make the naming match that.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 17:40, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
This is not hypothetical at all. Would you categorize a photograph of Penn State's club hockey teams under "Penn State Nittany Lions"? Powers (talk) 17:34, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
After you say its not hypothetical, you ask a completely hypothetical question. Like these other examples, we don't actually have media from Penn State's hockey team, neither when it was a club nor now. In getting into this sort of detailed discussion about non-existent media you're trying to prove that the proposed changes affect some very select situations. But I think the discussion has got into club sports or historic names because editors might not understand the idea behind Wikimedia's categories. We don't make ideal categories and then find media to fill them, we must instead group the media that is there into the larger tree structure, and that's what calls for this change. And it is fine to look for exceptions, just so that when the categories are renamed, any exceptions can have their cats adjusted.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 01:14, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, not having an encyclopedic knowledge of every athletic program out there, I'm left trying to use situations with which I'm familiar as examples. I don't know how else to approach this. Is it your contention that every single file currently in these categories will fit just as well into the renamed categories? Powers (talk) 01:43, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, so I've gone through each of the categories listed here, and I realize that there are more now then when this rename was proposed last year, but I've found very few files or subcategories that would need adjustment if we go through with the rename. Category:Miami University Synchronized Skating Team and Category:University of Delaware Synchronized Skating Team I think just need to be renamed to "Miami RedHawks synchronized skating" and "Delaware Blue Hens synchronized skating" respectively. There are two questions I had in Category:University of Wisconsin-Madison athletics, one about File:Baseball on Lake Mendota ice (2247442050).jpg, which just seems to be kids playing, but there are also three images in Category:Muir Knoll Ski Jump that aren't used in any Wiki, and I wasn't sure what they referred to, whether it was a competition or practice or something else unrelated to the sports teams. But that's it. Overall, I see no problems with this rename at the moment, but I would love to have a second set of eyes go through these here. Basically everything is either sports teams, current and former athletes, or sports facilities, which I think work just as well, née better, in a category with the team name.-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 04:00, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You have to keep in mind we're not just creating a category scheme for the present, but for the future as well. Powers (talk) 20:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Closing as Not Done for reason of no consensus to move. After a year and a half with an open listing, there is no consensus for blanket move of all cats listed. (There might be better case for some individual cats to be renamed or some other restructuring of categories.) -- Infrogmation (talk) 20:02, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
