Category:Cricket lore to Category:History of cricket
*Strong Keep As a member of
Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket I have no problem with Cricket Lore which is an oft-used term to include anecdotes, Brian Johnston's tales and the like which are not history but are "stories" about the game. As the main contributor to
Category:History of cricket I can tell you that to include lore in history is completely inappropriate. --

Similar to this CfD, these should gain "Wikipedians" in their name. There are also a couple dozen subcategories of the Naruto one, but someone more versed than me will have to figure those out.-- Mike Selinker 15:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC) reply

The crux of the matter is that DC and Washington, DC are effectively synonyms in informal speech, at least locally and perhaps nationally in the USA. This issue should be highlighted by disambig notices if the articles & categories are to remain separate. Also, separate category pages should contain explicit descriptions of the categories' intended content in order to avoid further miscategorization. The argument for separate District stuff is valid but let's be consistent: either leave the article redirect and merge the categories, or create a new District article, clean up the District category, and crosslink everything with disambig messages. Does that make sense? Thanks, everyone, for your comments. -- 72.83.87.17
