Talk:Division 1-A Rugby

Untitled

Non-notable is a very subjective term. Notable to who? How does one become notable? What needs to happen to move from non-notable to notable? Just because the competition is new, doesn't mean that it's "non-notable".

Additionally, ESPN is covering both the semi-finals, and finals of the competition. ESPN lends credibility to the competition, and provides visibility to this competition.

Keep - Sorry for messing up the way that this is supposed to go, but after looking around here is what I would say. College Premier Division is the Top-Tier of Collegiate Rugby in the USA. "A national championship season at the top collegiate level is generally notable." By that definition, it would make sense that an article describing the details, history & make-up of that level would be notable. I.E. If UC-Berkley wins the CPD, then that season would be notable. Also, the league that they played in to win that title would also have to be notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattsalt77 (talk • contribs) 03:40, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

California

When referring to the the rugby program (or any other sports program) at the University of California, Berkeley, the school is commonly referred to at Cal or California. This page had the school listed as "Cal Berkeley" which is not a correct reference to the university's athletic department: University of California, Berkeley Names. This page has been changed to correctly reference the California rugby program. --CASportsFan (talk) 10:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Re-name?

This competition has not been called the "College Premier Division" for some time; it is now called Division 1-A. Time to re-name the article? If so, what should be the new name? Some suggestions to throw around might include: (1) Division 1A Rugby; (2) D1A Rugby; (3) D1A College Rugby. Barryjjoyce (talk) 02:56, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Looking at the USA Rugby website,[1] they style it as Men's Division I-A. It's probably better to make clear what the sport is, so it looks like USA College Rugby Men's Division I-A is closest to how they style it. It's going to be helpful, IMHO, to have the country and the sport in the article title if possible. —C.Fred (talk) 03:02, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
