The result of the debate was rename
- Rename per Cat:Cue sports biography stubs WSS/P here, so parent and child cat are consistent, and per WP:WSS/NG#General form: "Preferably, these [stub category names] should be in a similar form to their non-stub parent categories". Current name doesn't satisfy WSS/NG (parent cat. is Cat:Cue sports not Cat:Cue sport) and is in conflict with its own child category as arrived at by WSS/P. In reference to previous disputes about wider naming issues especially with regard to sports categories, I believe that the WSS/NG overhaul which is currently in progress (details at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/Naming guidelines#Redrafting, stage 1) will ultimately settle the matter in a consensus manner (that may eventually necessitate a rename of this and many other sports stub cats, or may not; no assertion is made by nominator about the very long-term merits of this rename; it is rather a present-day consistency fix; the worst that can happen is that it will be like several similar stubcats and someday need renaming). This is not intended to reopen any prior debate about the ultimate disposition of the sports stub template and category names; it is only addressing a WSS/P already decided, and the conventions as described in WSS/NG as presently accepted. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 08:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Sisyphus-stub, anyone? "Similar to" doesn't mean "identical with 'stubs' tacked on", though, otherwise we wouldn't have renamed the many (many, many) Cat:buildings and structures stubs types to Cat:building and structure stubs, et al. Broadly speaking I'd prefer a general principle of "if the article is at "X", and the perm category is at "Xs", the stubcat should be at "X stubs", since the usage issues are essentially similar (I don't claim this is clearly established by precedent), but in the meantime, since we have a shedload of stub types at Cat:sports stubs, etc, we should probably rename in line with those, at least pro temps, until such time as a wider rename of all of those is contemplated.

- Works for me. While I have a preference, I'll ultimately be OK with however way consensus goes on that larger issue. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 02:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
