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. Sam Vimes | Address me 14:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

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. Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 22:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

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.

The sorting by first name is a property of a category, not of a person. Gene Nygaard 14:14, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

The pronunciation of Yuvraj Singh's name is actually Yuvraj Sengh with Sengh pronounced with high tone on the e (i.e. Séngh). This is the Punjabi pronunciation, where as the Hindi pronunciation is "Singh".

[edit] 6 sixes

is it true that manmohan singh also released an indian currency coin commemorating the 6 sixes? that seems noteworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.25.73 (talk) 00:09, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What community does Yuvraj Singh belong to?

Is Yuvraj a Sikh/Hindu Rajput or Sikh/Hindu Jat? or a mix?. Can anyone find a source as this would be noteworthy.KBN (talk) 04:04, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Sikh here. I wouldn't include it though, teh WP policy is not to cat people under religion unless it is of public significance/discussion. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Descent info like Rajput and Jat are considered to be irrelevant for cricketers, and it's not as though Yuvraj has gotten himself invovled in these matters. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
