- The result of the discussion was: rename as nominated. – Fayenatic London 16:37, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
- Nominator's rationale: Moving to a full CfD after the below comments during the initial speedy C2A proposal. Needs to be renamed because the hyphenation is incorrect, but it was also recommended that the title use "amusement park" vice "theme park" along the lines of C2D. With multiple variables, opening a full CfD for consensus. I agree with the proposal from UnitedStatesian. - 2pou ( talk) 20:30, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

- Support as proposer of this alternative. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 21:47, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose removal of hyphen, wherever the category ends up, the current hyphenation is correct, as the "theme-park" / "amusement-park" acts as a compound modifier to "attraction". See
[1] and
[2].

- I disagree that this is a compound modifier in this use. This is a compound noun (from the same grammar sources: GrammarBook Grammarly). Linking from Grammarly again, compound words can use modifiers as you say, but in this case, "theme park" or "amusement park" is not describing the attraction, it is all part of the same specific thing. On top of that, I cannot find any published examples of the hyphenated form searching for these terms: "theme-park ride", "theme-park food", "fun-house mirror", "amusement-park physics"—everything I come across uses open compound word forms. - 2pou ( talk) 19:56, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- It is not a compound adjective, and having no hyphen is consistent with longstanding Wikipedia practice: see Category:Amusement park attractions and the many, many categories underneath that parent category. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 18:04, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Aren't theme park and amusement park actually synonyms? Just a matter of taste which one to prefer? Well, IMHO definitely without hyphenation. -- Just N. ( talk) 18:09, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom - as a lot of entries for amusement park given. -- Just N. ( talk) 18:11, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

- Propose splitting Category:English footballers to Category:English female footballers and Category:English male footballers
- Propose merging Category:English women's footballers to the new Category:English female footballers
- Nominator's rationale: Per the usual structure and naming convention for this kind of sports category (and the fact there are plenty of entries to justify a proper male/female split) RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 18:52, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose This seems to needs a broader discussion as there is no scheme for Category:Male footballers or Category:Female footballers and the categorization for women footballers falls under the scheme of Category:Women's association football players by nationality. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 20:09, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose We recently established consensus to rename many hundreds of categories to use "women" rather than "female"; the former is definitely preferred. UnitedStatesian ( talk) 21:49, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose - this is a non-starter per Women's association football, Category:Women's association football. There might be something to be said for a 'proper' male/female split (starting at Category:Association football players, not in some random sub-sub-branch). Oculi ( talk) 22:38, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose I would support a proposal to move men's footballers into subcategories at (currently non-existent) Category:Men's association football players, but the proposal needs to start there and encompass all the categories. This is a much needed move because the current situation can lead to mixed categories for separated sports, and even more importantly most of England's most famous sportsmen are not listed under Category:English sportsmen (the current non-gendered structure would push women into the men's tree if we added it. The sport is typically known as the men's or women's game, so there is no need to change the women's tree. SFB 01:07, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose women instead of female has consensus throughout Wikipedia. And needs a broader discussion on football/sports WikiProject whether to create a men's categories too (and that doesn't need a CfD to do so). Joseph 2302 ( talk) 09:11, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions. Giant Snowman 10:07, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose for the reasons above. Firstly, the proposed new names are inconsistent with current naming conventions. Secondly, this needs a different discussion not at CFD. Thirdly, there are arguments related to PRIMARYTOPIC. Giant Snowman 10:09, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per convention and PRIMARY.-- Ortizesp ( talk) 17:37, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- I would support globally splitting sports which are segregated by gender. Rathfelder ( talk) 22:25, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
- That would result in a Category:English men's footballers of perhaps 40K entries, how useful is that? If anything, better diffuse the current over 20K articles in Category:English footballers to county and city subcategories. Marcocapelle ( talk) 07:03, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- I would support that too. Rathfelder ( talk) 12:10, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
- The issue with that - how do you decide where somebody is "from"? Giant Snowman 21:30, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- I agree that the question where somebody is from is not always easy to answer, but that is a more general problem of the trees of Category:People by populated place and Category:People by country subdivision. Marcocapelle ( talk) 09:39, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose (as nom) -- In recent years, Women's football has become a professional sport, so that women footballers will get articles. Women do not play for clubs in the men's leagues or vice versa, so that there should be parallel trees. We should however retain the subject as a parent container, with subcats for men footballers (not male) and women footballers (not female). Much of the content of the current article (men) needs to be moved to a separate Category:English men footballers. Peterkingiron ( talk) 18:14, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose for the reasons above. -- Just N. ( talk) 18:13, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment While we should not be moving to male/female (see women's association football), I think it would be reasonable to discuss whether to split the men's and women's football category trees. For example see Category:Volleyball players by nationality, which is subdivided into Category:Men's volleyball players by nationality and Category:Women's volleyball players by nationality. This would also allow footballers to be categorised under Category:Sportsmen by nationality, which would be useful. S.A. Julio ( talk) 19:48, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

- Propose renaming Category:Songs written by The Game (rapper) to Category:Songs written by the Game (rapper)
- Propose renaming Category:Songs written by The Big Bopper to Category:Songs written by the Big Bopper
- Propose renaming Category:Songs written by The Warren Brothers to Category:Songs written by the Warren Brothers
- Nominator's rationale: Lower case 'the' in running prose per MOS:THEMUSIC and MOS:NICKNAMETHE. Previous categories of this type have been renamed for the same reason, for instance the collection discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2021 February 6#Category:Song recordings produced by The KLF a year ago. Binksternet ( talk) 15:56, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Adding two more of the same type. Binksternet ( talk) 20:42, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom. I was a bit surprised, but it seems this is consistent with similar main space list titles such as List of songs recorded by the Beatles and List of songs recorded by the Rolling Stones. This follows the established precedent. - 2pou ( talk) 18:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Support two but keep "The Game", as "The" seems to be consistently capitalised in his case, see e.g. 100 (The Game song) and Better on the Other Side. – Fayenatic London 16:35, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
