Discussion at Talk:Sangsom Six-red World Championship. Betty Logan (talk) 10:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the tournament was only held once in 2009, the proposal is to merge this article into the 2009 Six-red World Championship. If there is no opposition to the merge I will redirect this article to 2009 Six-red World Championship one week from now. Betty Logan (talk) 09:41, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would have thought the merge would be better the other way round, i.e. merge the 2009 tournament details into here, since the tournament itself is inherently more notable than an individual edition of it (even if there is only ever one edition). wjematherbigissue 09:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Option 2 – The sponsor's name is only generally retained when the tournament doesn't have a name i.e. LG Cup, so using the year would be in line with the current snooker article titling procedures. It doesn't need to be disambiguated from the 2009 Sangsom event because the Sangsom event wasn't a world championship prior to 2010. We should probably clarify in the prose on the Sangsom article that there was another unrelated event known as the Six red world championship prior to the 2010 name change.

  • Option 2' WP:CUESPELL also says: "Use the clearest and least excessive official name when there are more than one, generally preferring that of the sanctioning organization (the supplier of the rules) over those of local organizers and especially of commercial sponsors, all other things being equal." Clearly the case here. Armbrust WrestleMania XXVII Undertaker 19–0 18:10, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but project essays hold little water when held against policy, i.e. Wikipedia:Article titles. Because of the other tournament, and regardless of whether that was called a world championship in that year, 2009 Six-red World Championship fails policy on more than one count – Recognizability and Precision. As it stands that article also fails on Consistency. wjematherbigissue 18:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merged

[edit]

No agreement was reached as to which title the articles should be merged under. However there is literally no information in this article which isn't already present in 2009 Six-red World Championship. The merge can be completed simply by turning this article into a redirect, so that is what I have done. There was an agreement to merge so that has been completed now in a manner that was the easiest to perform. Any further issues in regards to the article title should be discussed at 2009 Six-red World Championship in relation to whether the article should be renamed or not. There is no point holding up the merge because of dispute over the name of the article. Betty Logan (talk) 09:46, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
