Talk:Mankind vs. The Undertaker

Intro

The intro to this article is way too wordy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.72.173 (talk) 00:41, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Article title

I wonder if we need to change the title of this article. There was more than one HiaC match in 1998 — and while this one was easily the most notable, it might still require a more specific name. How does 1998 King of the Ring Hell in a Cell match suit everyone? Too wordy? Or perhaps Undertaker-Mankind Hell in a Cell match? — Richard BB 11:54, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

The Undertaker vs. Mankind (Hell in a Cell match), since there was only one such bout. The combatants should be the article name IMO, a la boxing articles (Muhammad Ali vs. Sonny Liston, Mike Tyson vs. Buster Douglas). B. Mastino (talk) 22:14, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

• The Undertaker vs. Mankind (Hell in a Cell match). Agree with above. It's the most clear title. I was honestly surprised that this article existed since I figured that it would be under another name than it is now.*Treker (talk) 23:12, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

I completely agree with Undertaker vs. Mankind (Hell in a Cell match). There are so many Undertaker vs. Mankind matches that are also notable. Ulysses Grant Official 00:34, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

None of the other matches are notable. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 11:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Title again

Hi @Armbrust:, I saw that you moved the article from The Undertaker vs. Mankind (Hell in a Cell match) to just The Undertaker vs. Mankind, I understand that this was done becuse there is no other article by the name, while that is true I feel like it would be more convinient for readers to have a more specific title since the two have had other matchs against eachother at other points.★Trekker (talk) 15:52, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

@Armbrust:, I would like to get a response.★Trekker (talk) 23:15, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Articles are only disambiguated against other articles. So, unless another article about a match between The Undertake and Mankind is created, disambiguation is redundant. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 09:01, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks for answering, I still think it's less helpful this way.★Trekker (talk) 04:30, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

The Undertaker vs. Mankind → Mankind vs. The Undertaker – per WP:AND, alphabetising the subjects of the article ItsKesha (talk) 23:58, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

• @ItsKesha and Buidhe: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:08, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
• Usually, we would favor the common name, which is unclear. WP:AND does not address this situation. (t · c) buidhe 04:37, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
• WP:AND does address this situation as it says "It is generally best to list topics in alphabetical order". Just to demonstrate, all articles to do with a sports rivalry are done alphabetically, if you look through Category:Sports rivalries. ItsKesha (talk) 12:34, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
• This was a single match, not an ongoing rivalry. What do most sources use? Moreover, The Undertaker won, and the title could be a hint, or could indicate "top billing". It was also called the pinnacle of his career, so perhaps he should get first billing. (I did a quick check of a few sources, and found those mixed.) — BarrelProof (talk) 16:23, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
• Yep, all other similar articles seem to be in alphabetical order (except Yankees-Red Sox rivalry). This one should be alphabetical as well. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:25, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Agree Other articles are alphabetical, so... Mankind vs The Undertaker --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:09, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support: per WWE Network, which lists the match as "Mankind vs Undertaker" on the King of the Ring '98 show. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 06:12, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Third HIAC match not Second

That error was in the article for a long time, just notifying that I fixed it.. Dilbaggg (talk) 00:22, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Title change to 'Mankind vs. The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell)'

This has been brought up several times in the past, but it needs to happen. There have been two other great matches between the two wrestlers, including the 1996 Boiler Room Brawl that signified the end of the relationship between the Undertaker and Paul Bearer and the Buried Alive match which took place at the 1996 In Your House PPV which was the first Buried Alive match and signified the end of the 'Deadman' gimmick. There was even the 1996 Survivor Series encounter where Taker's 'Lord of Darkness' gimmick debuted. Bottom line, this article's title should be changed because there are so many that would be classified as the same thing. I saw a user's comment on here say, "Keep the current title since there's no Wikipedia articles on the other matches," however, I can create articles for those other matches. I just strongly believe this title needs to be changed. ★Ulysses Grant Official★ 06:03, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
