Danish Handball League → Danish Men's Handball League – To mirror Danish Women's Handball League. In a country where handball is one of the most popular sports for both men and women, I frankly think it's distasteful that the Wikipedia article titled "Danish Handball League" refers to the men's league. Not only is the women's league actually more successful internationally speaking (over the past 3 seasons, 3 Danish men's teams have made it to the play-offs rounds of the two most important European club competitions, the Champions League and the EHF Cup – compared to 11 Danish teams on the women's side), the women's league [1] even ranks higher than the men's league [2] in the European Handball Federation's coefficient ranking. On an average, the games broadcast from the women's league accumulate as many viewers as the games broadcast from the men's league. Additionally, the current (sponsorless – contrary to the women) title of the men's league is (directly translated from Danish) "The Men's Handball League" [3] – not "The Handball League" or anything that would suggest that when you think about "the Danish handball league", you'd automatically think of the men's league. In general, I believe Wikipedia has a very unfortunate problem in terms of equality in their sports articles – a problem that's primarily excused with statements such as "but the men's *insert league or team* is much more popular than the women's side" or "the men are more successful and therefore they're synonymous with general name". In this case, such arguments just don't hold and as such, I think it would only be fair to the country's general passion for the sport if the women's league isn't treated as though it's somehow secondary to the men's league.

Comment: How do English-language reliable sources refer to the league? O.N.R. ^(talk) 02:24, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support Unfortunately I'm not finding much at all in the way of English-language sources. It's possible they exist, but my searches just aren't finding them. Obviously there are plenty of Danish ones, and those do appear to favor "Herre Håndbold Ligaen" or "Herrehåndboldligaen". Perhaps we don't translate it at all, and stick with one of these? I noticed that the 2014–15 to 2018–19 Damehåndboldligaen pages use the Danish; there is no 2013–14 season page, and I didn't check for the existence of seasons prior to that.
