- Category:Ghostly Vessels to Category:Ghostly vessels – C2A DoctorKubla (talk) 06:39, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose that one as still insufficiently clear. It needs a full discussion for renaming along the lines of Ghost ships in folklore and mythology. – Fayenatic London 19:42, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- @DoctorKubla: how about Category:Legendary ghost ships, C2C within Category:Legendary ships? – Fayenatic London 14:23, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the point of this subcategory was to clearly separate the two different types of ghost ship (paranormal entities vs. real ships found with a missing crew). I'm not sure if "legendary ghost ships" makes the mythological status of these ships clear enough. Maybe "phantom ships", as in phantom vehicle? Pinging User:Alekksandr, the category's creator – I think if he agrees to the renaming, it can still be speedied under C2E? DoctorKubla (talk) 14:57, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- As the category's creator, I confirm that the point was to clearly separate paranormal entities (like the Flying Dutchman) vs. real ships found with a missing crew (like the Marie Celeste). See discussion here. I took the term 'ghostly vessel' from the introductory sentence of Ghost ship - 'A ghost ship ... may be a ghostly vessel in folklore or fiction, such as the Flying Dutchman, or a real derelict found adrift with its crew missing or dead, like the Mary Celeste.' I have no difficulty with the category title 'Phantom ships'.Alekksandr (talk) 16:52, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to full discussion - There are too many issues to deal with on this title for a speedy rename at this point. Ego White Tray (talk) 14:49, 29 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
