Category:People swimming[edit]
This category contains Category:Competitive swimmers, which contains images of people who are swimmers, but who are not swimming in the image. Therefore, it is incorrect to describe them as “people swimming”. It is correct to describe them as “swimmers”, and you would expect them to be in Category:Swimmers, but Category:Swimmers redirects here. Brianjd (talk) 12:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Proposal:
- Category:Swimmers (no longer a redirect)

I agree that Category:Competitive swimmers shouldn't be in Category:People swimming, not was it when I created it. It should be in Category:Sports competitors by sport and Category:Competitive swimming. I think that, plus some links in the headers, is enough. Recreating Category:Swimmers will result in another mix of images there. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Completely and obviously sensible proposal, with 'Competitive swimmers' and 'Swimmers' not subordinate to 'People swimming'. ̴̴Acabashi (talk) 09:38, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
Oppose I don't think we need Category:Swimmers as it's rather confusing. "People swimming" is clear. "Competitive swimmers" is clear. "Swimmers" could be either. What is a swimmer who is neither a competitive swimmer but who is not swimming? But I'm fine with removing Category:Competitive swimmers from Category:People swimming. Many images could go in both, but not all. - Themightyquill (talk) 11:05, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- i agree with #c-Auntof6-2020-06-22T01:17:00.000Z-Brianjd-2020-06-21T12:00:00.000Z in principle.
- Category:Runners is a similar case. RZuo (talk) 16:05, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
