I just had to edit the part describing Grand Valley State University, where someone added a bit that it was "for those who couldn't get into Missouri Western State University...". 68.53.156.218 03:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC) what eveer —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.167.111.19 (talk) 18:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Lakers past locations that important?
The Lakers "a professional basketball team originally based in Detroit and later Minneapolis." could be rather confusing to someone unknowing of their history, or perhaps outside the U.S. that isn't familiar with NBA teams. One could put "a professional basketball team playing in the National Basketball Association" because the fact that the Lakers were originally located in Detroit (as the Gems) is extremely obscure and shouldn't be part of a one-line description of the team.

Laker → Laker (disambiguation) – Primary topic for "Laker" or "Lakers" is the Los Angeles Lakers. I don't think any of these other sports teams on this page, or the other topics are close to the name recognition or history of the LA Lakers. Propose move of this page and a primary redirect of "Laker"/"Lakers" to the Los Angeles Lakers. Natg 19 (talk) 18:47, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Crouch, Swale: changed the redirect target of Lakers away from the Los Angeles Lakers here (rationale:
ambiguous with Lake freighter and lots of other teams like Clippers, Ravens and Marlins
) but I disagree that the term "Lakers" is analogous to those terms. The Los Angeles Lakers page can have a hatnote to lake freighter if more clarity is needed. Natg 19 (talk) 18:58, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, the singular "Laker" should remain a dabpage given that the sports team is always referred to by the plural "Lakers", and that other topics such as Laker (surname) and Lake freighter exist. Lakers can probably be a primary redirect, but that's a discussion for RfD, not here. 162 etc. (talk) 20:17, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose I could see a potential case for Lakers, thought it would certainly need discussion, but I see no evidence that someone typing the singular term are most likely looking for the basketball team.--65.93.195.118 (talk) 23:55, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
