Redundant list

[edit]

This list is a subset of the names found in the List of craters on the Moon. To be more beneficial (and less redundant), I'd like to suggest adding in the professions and nation of origin. Perhaps a sortable table could be used? Thanks. — RJH (talk) 21:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

– The form "with craters of X named after them" is awkwardly styled and, alongside the proposed nomination, suggestions are welcome as to other possible title forms. As for the Martian list, it is not one of craters, but primarily of people, analogous to the Lunar list. Both lists need improvement (for instance, I replaced, on the Lunar list, the redlink Nikolai Yakovlevich Ilin with Nikolai Yakovlevich Il'in and added Il'in (crater) and, on the Martian list, the misspelled and unlinked Lomosonov, with Mikhail LomonosovLomonosov (Martian crater). —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:24, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would List of people for whom Moon / Mars craters were named be preferable? —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 16:48, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Can I play? List of people with named Moon craters. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:52, 28 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that would be better than namesakes, but the present title is better still. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:25, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
