Support, in order to have it line up with the majority of reliable media coverage per WP:COMMONNAME. --WellThisIsTheReaper Grim 01:29, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, as per WP:CONSISTENT. We have the FIFA World Cup (not Soccer/Football World Cup) and FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup, for example, which make it immediately clear to the reader which governing body is responsible for the competition. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 09:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC))[reply]
FIFA is included because if it was "Football World Cup", American Football & Usual Football (Soccer) might get confused out. Also, Football is not included in their Official name either. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 10:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's already Cricket World Cup & Women's Cricket World Cup, which is what should be considered for WP:CONSISTENT. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 11:31, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Surely there should be consistency between, as well as within sports? As another example, there's the Men's FIH Hockey World Cup. I haven't looked at all sports, but in others the name of governing body is more naturally included in the article name, such as the World Aquatics Championships (organised by World Aquatics). "Football World Cup" wouldn't be that confusing a title because (as far as I'm aware) soccer is the only type of football to have a world cup!! However, "Soccer World Cup" would avoid this potential difficulty (which is why I wrote "Soccer/Football", not "Football/Soccer", or just "Football"). (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 21:56, 9 October 2024 (UTC))[reply]
There is more than one sport known as 'hockey', which FIH acts to disambiguate. In contrast, cricket is the only sport that uses the phrase T20 (at least in event titles). Modest Genius talk 17:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A further thought. Surely the name of the sport concerned should appear in the article title somewhere? There will be a lot of people out there who have no idea what "T20" refers to (with "ICC" in the mix, "Cricket" is at least represented by an initial). I would therefore be more inclined to support a change of name to Men's T20 Cricket World Cup etc. (Edwin of Northumbria (talk) 22:14, 9 October 2024 (UTC))[reply]
You make good points, but it is the T20 World Cup not the T20 Cricket World Cup. Personally I feel that retaining ICC (as part of the official name) would cover this. Bs1jac (talk) 08:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ICC should stay for clarity's sake. Yeetmaster25 (talk) 16:23, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: Relisting to get more inputs as this RM would impact a large number of pages. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 11:45, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - as per Edwin of Northumbria's response. - J man708 (talk) 06:47, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The sport or governing body should be in the title for consistency. Also per Northumbria. --Spekkios (talk) 20:06, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I have no strong opinions on whether to include ICC in the name or not. But, I do believe that a larger RM/RfC with all such sport events (including the FIVB example above) should be carried out to settle all this for once. I do agree that FIFA WC is incomparable, because FIFA WC is the COMMONNAME simply because a standalone "WC" could refer to multiple sport events. In case of T20 WC, there's no disambiguity in the first place. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 17:18, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as per my comments on the women's articles, this is more concise and consistent with other ICC events. Having no consensus for this but support for the RM for the women's equivalent articles, which is a possible outcome at the moment, is ridiculous. And so moving these articles is the only way to achieve common sense and consistency. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:03, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The proposed name is too vague. 20/20 can refer to vision as well. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:23, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no world cup for men in 20/20 vision. WP:CONCISE says the title only needs to be precise enough to identify it.  — Amakuru (talk) 21:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
