Requested move 04 October 2013

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 18:31, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

World Seniors Championship → World Seniors Snooker Championship – Reason for move is to clarify the name of the tournament. Also I propose to rename the 2013 World Seniors Championship to the 2013 World Seniors Snooker Championship (and other such pages also). Some refs: [1] [2] There are many seniors championships in other sports. See also the logo [3] with the "snooker" word. The page World Seniors Championship will be disambig for the World Senior Chess Championship, World Senior Curling Championships etc. Relisted.

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Oppose Most of the sources just use "World Seniors Championship". There are 8,810 hits for "World Seniors Snooker Championship" and 151,000 for "World Seniors Championship" snooker. Examples for "World Seniors Championship" include Eurosport, SkySports, Peterborough Today, Pro9, Gambingplex, BBC Sport, World Snooker, Matchroom Sport, Telegraph and Argus, This is Derbyshire, Daily Mail. Also AZ Billiards only uses the longer name in the title, but in the text they also just use "World Seniors Championship". Thus "World Seniors Championship" is the common name of the event. The logo contains an offical name, but Wikipedia doesn't have to use that. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 05:10, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also no other article on Wikipedia begins as "World Seniors", they are all "World Senior" (note the missing s in later). They are World Senior Chess Championship, World Senior Curling Championships (contains a men and women event), World Senior Teams Championship, World Senior Pairs Championship, thus the dab page should be located at either World Senior Championships or World Senior Championship.

There are many World Seniors Championship also: Chess [4], Draughts [5], Bowling [6] and so on. NickSt (talk) 17:11, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well the first is actually called "World Seniors Championship Tournament" (that's not the same). In any case as the two latter doesn't have articles on Wikipedia, therefore the primary topic on Wikipedia currently is the snooker tournament.
