Rename?

Would anyone object to this category being renamed "Beauty pageant titleholders"? Because I think titleholders sounds better and confers more notability... and I'm sure any contestant notable enough to have an article on here must be a "titleholder" in her own right. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 08:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is just my opinion, but.... After just going through Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 February 26#Category:Beauty Pageant Winners, which resulted in me creating Category:Beauty pageant winners and moving all those entries, I would probably say to leave this as is. A "titleholder" category to me would really be a rename of the "winner" category which was just created. I am still going through all the pageants, but it appears that there are several notable people who competed in pageants who did not win a title, but whose bio does provide a reference. This category seems to be the place for those articles, unless you want to go down the path of "their participation was not important enough to merit inclusion in the category in comparison with their remaining body of work." Please do feel free to gather additional opinion. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 13:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
