Category:Sailing films → Competitive sailing films —

I propose moving Category:Sailing films → Category:Competitive sailing films — So the films about sailing as a sport can be listed in "Category:Competitive sailing films". "Category:Competitive sailing films" can in turn be listed in both Category:Sports films by sport as well as in Category:Sailing films. --Bensin (talk) 22:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the need to do this. There are only two items (currently) listed here, and even if there are more I'm not convinced that "Competitive" would be an appropriate disambiguator. You're asking to have an empty category containing one sub-category with two articles. That just doesn't make much sense, to me.

I guess my point is that there are a lot of films dealing with sailing, but only a subset of the sailing films are about competitive sailing and thus fit under the category "sports films by sport". Suggestions for a better name is most welcome! Another alternative would be to re-categorize Wind (film) and Morning Light into Category:Boat racing films. --Bensin (talk) 01:20, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If it's true that "that there are a lot of films dealing with sailing", why isn't this category filled with entries? I'm not trying to be a smart-alec or anything, it's just that this is part of policy. We don't do things in anticipation on possible problems. Wait until there's an actual issue, and it'll take care of itself. Incidentally, there's Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories, which normally takes care of this sort of thing. Movereq's aren't typically used to take care of categorization issues, since they have their own mechanism's to deal with how categories are maintained.

Note: This was listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves, which doesn't handle category renames. I've listed this at Categories for discussion instead, and copied the above comments to that page. Please continue the discussion there. Jafeluv (talk) 06:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
