Categorisation[edit]

I propose subcategorizing this into:

Category:Gaelic games in Ireland by county
- Category:Gaelic games in the Republic of Ireland by county
- Category:Gaelic games in Northern Ireland by county
Category:Gaelic games outside Ireland by county

with only Category:Gaelic games in Ireland by county being a subcat of Category:Sport in Ireland by county. jnestorius^(talk) 15:58, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I may have further thoughts on this later, but right now, I think that each of above, if it was to proceed, should only do so if the word "county" is made more explicit to refer to that strange beast, the "GAA county". So you would get "Gaelic games in Ireland by GAA county" etc. This category itself should also be re-named to "Gaelic games by GAA county". Laurel Lodged (talk) 21:05, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think having both "Gaelic games" and "GAA" in the title is redundant. So how about

Category:GAA counties
- Category:GAA counties in Ireland
  - Category:GAA counties in the Republic of Ireland
  - Category:GAA counties in Northern Ireland
- Category:GAA counties outside Ireland

I can agree to the second proposal as a good categorisation layout. It also addresses the problem in the original proposal over what kind of county - traditional or modern admnistrative. The second proposal easily addresses and fixes this by clearly stating that its a "GAA county". Mabuska ^(talk) 11:17, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can also agree to this second proposal. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GAA and Gaelic Games are not one and the same . Gaelic games is more inclusive for handball, rounders, ladies etc Gnevin (talk) 15:09, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that all gaelic games governing bodies are linked to the GAA, even if not directly subordinate to it. Most relevant to the current discussion is whether they use the same county structure. I think Kilkenny is divided for handball, but that could be treated similar to the Fingal / South Down hurling teams. jnestorius^(talk) 13:58, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I must point out that I would still envisage Category:Roscommon GAA being, as at present, a subcat of Category:Sport in County Roscommon and not a subcat of Category:Sport in County Mayo. When Ballaghaderreen GAA is created, it should be added to both Category:Mayo GAA and a Roscommon category. However, I'm undecided whether the Roscommon category should be Category:Sport in County Roscommon or Category:Roscommon GAA. The latter option is strictly incorrect but more intuitive. jnestorius^(talk) 14:35, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what GAA "county" to which Ballaghaderreen GAA should be attributed. But if it draws its support base from two geographical counties, I see no reson why it should not be a member of both Category:Sport in County X and Category:Sport in County Y. Really, I see no reason for angst: the two entities (andministrative county versus GAA county) are independant of each other. In most cases they will happily overlap; when they don't too bad. Laurel Lodged (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If a place falls into two counties, state both categories. Mabuska ^(talk) 22:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agreed already that it should be in both a Mayo cat and a Roscommon cat; the town is in Roscommon admin county and the club play in Mayo GAA county. The question is which Roscommon category: Category:Sport in County Roscommon or Category:Roscommon GAA.
I disagree with the idea that support-base is a factor: otherwise every county will be in Category:Sport in County Dublin, and Manchester United will be in Category:Sport in Thailand. jnestorius^(talk) 08:34, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ballaghaderreen GAA should not be part of Category:Roscommon GAA Gnevin (talk) 15:09, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest use both categorys Jnestorious - its a sport played in Roscommon and its a Mayo GAA club. Mabuska ^(talk) 22:50, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To summarise: I think both Gnevin and Mabuska are saying Ballaghaderreen GAA should be in Category:Sport in County Roscommon and Category:Mayo GAA and not in Category:Roscommon GAA? jnestorius^(talk) 13:58, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In a word, yes. Mabuska ^(talk) 00:02, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
