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 (

I have no objection to this alternate proposal. Does it still qualify for a speedy rename, or does it now need a full CfD nom? -

UnitedStatesian (
talk) 21:47, 24 January 2022 (UTC)reply
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].
Spike 'em (

I disagree that this is a compound modifier in this use. This is a compound noun (from the same grammar sources:
GrammarBookGrammarly). 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)reply
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)reply
Comment Aren't theme park and amusement park actually synonyms? Just a matter of taste which one to prefer? Well, IMHO definitely without hyphenation. --

Support per nom - as a lot of entries for amusement park given. --

Category:English footballers
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
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 (

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)reply
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)reply
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).

WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page discussions.
GiantSnowman 10:07, 25 January 2022 (UTC)reply
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.
GiantSnowman 10:09, 25 January 2022 (UTC)reply
Oppose per convention and PRIMARY.--
Ortizesp (

I would support globally splitting sports which are segregated by gender.
Rathfelder (

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 (
