[edit] Category:Paediatrics

Most of the articles in this category were originally in Category:Paediatrics but on December 28, 2004, that category was listed for renaming to this category. The consensus was to rename. The discussion from Wikipedia:Categories for deletion follows. RedWolf 06:02, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)


Main article is at pediatrics. There's currently a soft-redirect from Category:Pediatrics. A spelling convention should be chosen. As writing the article was likely a bigger task than creating the category, I vote that we conform to the article naming, and move Paediatrics to Pediatrics, leaving a soft-redirect in place, as it is now, but on the opposite article. — grendel|khan 03:10, 2004 Dec 28 (UTC)

  • Keep, Wikipedia accepts both International and American spelling. - SimonP 20:04, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
  • Rename to align with article name. --ssd 15:31, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and rename article. The two should have the same name, but redirects work far better on articles than on categories. Grutness|hello? 13:27, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    I agree in that I think the article name and the category name should be aligned. However, I' m not as certain which way it should go, and on reflection, the soft redirect needs to be kept and/or recreated either way. --ssd 05:21, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • We could just rename everything pædiatrics. (note: æ is actually English, if disused) 132.205.15.43 02:24, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Not so much disused as rare (sadly - words like amœba and encyclopædia just look wrong without the ligature!). But I think that'd just add a further complication. Grutness|hello? 13:33, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. If I see something starting with 'ped-', I always think it's going to be about feet. Noisy | Talk 10:41, Jan 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Pediatrics looks like a childish ;-) spelling to me. How come everything has already! been moved out of Category:Paediatrics? Jooler 12:29, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The category seems to have been emptied by January 19, which was beyond the 7 day period and at that point, Rename seems to have garnered sufficient support (barely perhaps). The 3 Keeps were submitted well after the standard voting period. RedWolf 00:44, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)
