  • Oppose Sounds better as it is. Carina22 10:02, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment err hello!!!? It says CANANDIAN!! Arniep 23:19, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Support, "sounding better" is POV, and consistency is more important. Radiant_>|< 14:36, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose I wish I hadn't started this process. The "of" form is pointless for ships. CalJW 21:33, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment The path to this category is from Category:Naval ships of Canada, from Category:Ships of Canada and Category:Military equipment of Canada. The of Foo form you refer to is no more 'pointless' than the Fooian form, inherently. The of Foo form has the distinct advantage of avoiding the confusion of national adjectives (American v. United States, etc.) by using the proper name of the country to which it refers. The only argument I've seen for Fooian form is that it 'sounds better' to some people. Since the of Foo form 'sounds better' to some people as well, this gets us nowhere. Joshbaumgartner 21:21, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Support for consistency. Arniep 23:19, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)#Miscellaneous "of country" for official policy. Aircraft carriers (being military equipment) should conform to official "... of country" format. Joshbaumgartner 19:30, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Rename as proposed. --Vizcarra 15:31, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Support for consistency. - TexasAndroid 15:59, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
