Whatz Yuvaraj's Height??

It's not that important. That type of questioned should be asked at WP:RD. Gizza^Chat ^© 08:21, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Index

Can we come to some consensus about how this article should be indexed? As far as I'm concerned the right place is under 'Y' because he is always referred to by first name. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 10:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Have a look in the archives of WT:CRIC. This was the subject of a long and acrimonious discussion. Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:09, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket/archive16#Categorizing_Pakistani.2C_Bangladeshi_and_UAE_cricketers, to be exact. If you look at the bottom, there was a sort of muffled agreement that we could sort the cricket categories however we liked, as long as we left the death and birth cats alone.

That seems far from satisfactory to me. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 15:19, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

All by Y is my preferred option. Even with his dad Yograj, outside of cricket, as reported in the Jessica Lal case and as an actor, is referenced by Y. Gene said that there is more to the guy than how his cricket shirt is printed, but in his tabloid life, outside of cricket, as as actor, etc, he is also indexed Y.

I think the important principle at stake here is that the whole world doesn't organise names in the same way, meaning that it's absurd for Wikipedia to categorise every individual by 'surname' when that concept isn't always a meaningful one. However, this individual talk page may not be the best place to have that discussion. :/

For the moment I'd be happy enough to sort out a long-term solution for this particular article. I don't regard indexing cricket categories one way and biographical categories another as an acceptable solution. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 08:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Agree, his cricket name is also how he is referred to in real life by newspapers etc, for non cricket stuff, so it should be OK to use Y for all the cats. Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 08:46, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

The cricket WikiProject has decided that Pakistani categories are sorted by first name, without any regard to the actual names the person uses and how they are sorted elsewhere. Similarly, all but the Pakistani (and two? others) are sorted by normal sort order.
