British athletes compete in international competitions for Great Britain. Therefore the aim of categorisation fo listing like articles together is violaed. These should be merged back into Category:British athletes. Dunc|☺ 11:45, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
British athletes compete in some international competitions for Great Britain. In many - such as the Commonwealth Games - they compete for their individual home countries. Therefore, all of these should be kept as subcategories of Category:British athletes. Grutness|hello? 11:49, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The categorisation can't ever be perfect anyway, as Great Britain technically shouldn't include Northern Ireland. It's easier and less controversial to classify by nation/UK region. zoney♣talk 12:00, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep, agree with Dunc. Jihg 13:08, Feb 11, 2005 (UTC)
Um - which? Dunc asked for them to be deleted! Grutness|hello?
keep I did this. I am doing it for all GB and Northern Ireland sportspeople. I want all English people/ Scottish people etc to be accessible from the English people/Scottish people etc main categories. This is the only way to deal with the inconsistency in categorisation across the board. It used to be a mess, with for example half the most famous English such-and-suches in "English such-and-suches" and the other half in "British such-and-suches" and no link between the two for many categories. Exceptions are an unwelcome complication. All British athletes still are in "British athletes", but just one level further down. Philip 16:54, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I helped populate these several months ago, but they were summarily deleted without proper discussion. There was a vote to undelete which passed. See this diff on Votes for Undeletion for the removal of the last discussion I saw. -- Avaragado 19:23, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
