Only WAG, not all of AG[edit]

Hi, I previously moved this page so that its title was only "2014 in Women's Artistic Gymnastics", but someone later moved it back saying that it covered both MAG and WAG. So far, this page only highlights women's events, so I propose that it should be titled as such. However, I would like some feedback before I do so unilaterally. Thanks!

Generally the years in sports articles follow a combined gender approach. The year in sports articles are in essence a series, thus are of less use to readers when there are only a few of them. Only two other instances of women's only sports year articles exist: those on {{Years in road cycling}} and the now abandoned Category:Years in women's ice hockey. Unless you think there will be ongoing editor support to cover both men's and women's artistic gymnastics articles every year, then I think our readers will be better served by a combined article approach. The years in artistic gymnastics series is very small as it stands (just this article and limited listings of 16 future events for 2015 and 2016).

If you decide to develop this article as women only then I certainly won't stand in your way. But I think it's worth bearing in mind the impact on readers. SFB 21:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand where you guys are coming from, but at the same time, WAG and MAG are very different sports as it is (even the FIG considers them as such). As such, I don't understand why we can't categorize them separately.Avatarfanx2 (talk) 22:53, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Avatarfanx2: As I said above, this is change you can make – if you move back to women's only, I will not oppose that. I just wanted to clarify why this kind of decision is a rarely taken one. For example, tennis even has different governing bodies for the sexes, yet it is easier from an editing labour perspective to cover both sexes in just one yearly article. Feel free to go ahead with the move if you like. SFB 18:12, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
