Contested move request

edit

The following request to move a page has been added to Wikipedia:Requested moves as an uncontroversial move, but this has been contested by one or more people. Any discussion on the issue should continue here. If a full request is not lodged within five days of this request being contested, the request will be removed from WP:RM.Stemonitis 06:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Contest I moved this article (the spelling error is entirely mine; my apologies) and other such articles with the rationale that if the main article is at "Ontario Hockey League" all daughter articles should incorporate that name rather than "OHL." For instance, see United Nations Security Council, not UN Security Council, UNSC, or Security Council. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 03:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I do believe the standard is that all articles are to use the name they are most commonly referred to as. These leagues are best known as the OHL not the Ontario Hockey League. --Djsasso 03:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Both here and below I looked at WP:HOCKEY and didn't see a standard that contradicted my moves, but furthermore, I don't see why any standard should. Certainly the OHL itself is more commonly known as the OHL, but its article is not there, right? Why would all of the daughter articles of that main article have a different name? That seems illogical to me. Imagine the havoc that would wreak in a print encyclopedia, for instance. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 03:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
WP:COMMONNAME is the standard for all pages in wikipedia. And there was a naming convention set up at WP:HOCKEY or we wouldn't have had them all named exactly the same way. Regardless for moves of this magnitude you should be consulting the related wikiprojects. --Djsasso 03:58, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Realizing that the page name standard for sports leagues is currently completely thrown off by Koavf's move of literally every single abbreviated sports league page over the last few days, the common name is the abbreviated name. Thus the abbreviated name should be the standard for all pages except for the league's article itself, where the abbreviation is introduced for the league in the first sentence. --fuzzy510 16:14, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support - Should all be moved back to abbreviated names. BsroiaadnTalk 17:34, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
All these page movements by Koavf, should be reversed. He should have discussed is 'movements' plans, first. GoodDay 16:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support - Should all be moved back to abbreviated names. I completely agree with GoodDay BsroiaadnTalk 17:34, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

If anyone needs an admin to move any of the pages (I think I did all the ones listed above), contact me at my talk page. If you don't need an admin, and you oppose these non-consensual moves, I suggest you move them back, as the user seems to have moved thousands of pages without consensus and they are gradually all being reverted (or a good majority of them are being reverted).
