Retired jersey numbers

edit

Per WP:PRESERVE, here is the list of retired #12 jersey numbers and racecars that were mentioned in the article:

The jersey number 12 has been retired by several North American sports teams in honor of past playing greats (or, in one case, a team's fans):

In Formula One: Ayrton Senna's racing number at Lotus and McLaren. It is currently used by Felipe Nasr for Sauber.

In Championship car racing: Eddie Sachs drove a number 12 car in the 1961 Indianapolis 500.

This material may be of interest for a future List of retired numbers in sports article. — JFG talk 22:42, 16 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Redirect???

edit

I think all numbers <= 200 (including 0) should redirect the article of numbers, numbers > 200 should redirect the article of years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.8.197.143 (talk) 18:37, 29 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

This is a very reasonable idea which has been discussed before. 0 has always been about the number but, until last year, positive numbers linked to years. For example, the article now at AD 1 was called simply 1. Following discussion at Talk:AD 1 (the early part is archived in Talk:AD 1/Archive 1), 1 to 10 became integers and 11 to 100 became disambiguation pages. There may still be scope for going further, as there is a good case for arguing that the year AD 101 is not the primary topic for the term 101. Certes (talk) 19:21, 29 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Why linked to disambiguation pages?? 11 to 100 can also linked to numbers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.8.197.143 (talk) 20:42, 29 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

11 to 100 are linked to disambiguation pages because the long discussion that I linked to above didn't reach a consensus to change them to numbers. Please feel free to suggest the change again. I could certainly support such a proposal. Certes (talk) 21:15, 29 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Can I move 11 to 50 to number pages? 51 to 100 to year pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xayahrainie43 (talkcontribs) 03:37, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Xayahrainie43: Not immediately, but those ideas may be worth a requested move or a request for comments on a more widely read talk page. Personally, I would support the first idea (move 1111 (disambiguation) and 11 (number)11, etc.) but several editors would disagree. If I've understood your second idea correctly (move 5151 (disambiguation) and AD 5151, etc.) then I would oppose it, because I don't think that the year AD 51 is the primary topic for the term "51".

Well, I want to let 1 to 50 become integers, why disagree that? —— Xayahrainie43 (talk) 13:10, 7 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

I agree with your suggestion, but we are in a minority. A 2017 debate found no consensus for it. For reasons I don't quite understand, most editors feel that 11 usually means something other than the number after 10. Certes (talk) 13:24, 7 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
