Does Nigeria use a nonstandard field or is this an error?Wschart (talk) 01:03, 30 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand you. But if you mean the featured goal on CNN, then the stadium isn't a good representation of the state of our stadiums. The goal was scored in Agege Stadium, which is the smallest stadium hosting games in the NPFL that season. It might not even be used this coming season. But what do I know about what makes a stadium standard.Darreg (talk) 09:01, 30 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: No consensus. It seems that this move should be revisited when the new name gains more traction in reliable sources, but for now the old name is still more common. (non-admin closure) WPscatter ^t/_c 17:23, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Nigeria Professional Football League → Nigeria Premier Football League – The Nigeria Professional Football League has been renamed the 'Nigeria Premier Football League',[2] I have made the necessary changes remaining this.

Oppose: I don't think this is getting enough support per WP:NAMECHANGES. A regular google search since January 7 (the date of the article above) pulls up ~10.3k for Nigeria Professional Football League in quotation marks vs. ~4.2k for Nigeria Premier Football League in quotation marks, and ~16.5m vs. ~7.4m outside of quotation marks; similarly, a search in Google News since January 7 seems to slightly favor Nigeria Professional Football League (~250k vs ~130k outside quotation marks, ~900 vs ~760 inside quotation marks).

Oppose as not meeting NAMECHANGES per Skarmory. I was trying to close this as no consensus by the fact that all the supports are WP:PERNOMs but feared it would be considered a supervote. CLYDE ^{TALK TO ME}/_{STUFF DONE} (please mention me on reply) 22:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
