Name

[edit]

I suggest that the article be moved to "Women's National League (Ireland)" or something similar, as the new league seems to be called the "Women's National League". Hohenloh + 18:46, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't like the brackets. Irish Women's National League? But i'd be ok with both. -Koppapa (talk) 09:52, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it needs to be changed to "Women's National League" but not sure how best to include Ireland/Irish. As long as people can find it, I suppose. We can always set up re-directs. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 10:29, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'll request the move to see if anyone else has an opinion. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 10:37, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Irish Women's LeagueWomen's National League (Ireland) – the new league seems to be called the "Women's National League" Clavdia chauchat (talk) 10:37, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I would recommend the bracketed option. There are several leagues of the same name in different countries and it is unlikely that when people search for it they will put 'Irish' at the beginning. You can of course set up the redirect for 'Irish Women's National League' to the page, just in case. If you guys agree, I'd feel free to move it - it's hardly controversial since a quick google search reveals the correct name now. ῤerspeκὖlὖm in ænigmate(talk)(spy) 16:41, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, move it. I choose the name as a temporarily name anyway. -Koppapa (talk) 21:22, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bray gone?

[edit]

Bray seems to have decided not to start in this league due to lack of good players in the region: 1 2
"Originally it was supposed to be 2 'Dublin' teams,that was changed to 4 and there simply isn't enough good players for 4 'Dublin' teams so the club have pulled the plug on it.Not a good start for the league 3 weeks before the kick off.Only 6 teams now."
Any better/official source is welcome. Couldn't find one. -Koppapa (talk) 20:24, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh dear, this has all the makings of a farce. I will keep an eye out for an official source. Clavdia chauchat (talk) 22:37, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WNL Cup

[edit]

There seems to be a mix up here between the Women's FAI Cup and Women's League Cup - The League Cup fina; is not played at Lansdowne Road/Aviva Stadium and Cork won the WFAI cup last year, rather than the League Cup. We will need separate sections made for these two competitions. Backbeatlistener (talk) 01:02, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Changed 2017 winners and 2018 stadium. See more errors? -Koppapa (talk) 17:11, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 10 December 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. This may be reconsidered in the future when more sources are using the new names, possibly closer to the beginning of 2023 seasons as Guliolopez said. (closed by non-admin page mover) echidnaLives - talk - edits 07:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]


– All three leagues now rebranded as above [1]. Move for recognizability, precision etc. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 13:16, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Recommend waiting a while. At least until closer to the start of the 2023 seasons. Or, perhaps, until (a) the WP:OFFICIALNAMEs become the WP:COMMONNAMEs, (b) it is clear what WP:RECENT events mean for the ~40 year history of all three leagues (c) enough time has passed for WP:NAMECHANGES to be assessed (such that we know whether "reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name") and (d) other issues that may yet arise (as yet unforeseen, both IRL and on the project) have bottomed-out. Otherwise we risk "renaming" Wikipedia articles before, for example, the association/leagues' own web presences have caught up with that press release. As per COMMONNAME and NAMECHANGES, Wikipedia should reflect name changes/adoption. Not, in effect, preempt them. After all, there's no mad rush....

  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. GiantSnowman 20:23, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per source which confirms new OFFICIALNAME which we should reflect. GiantSnowman 20:24, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose This renaming proposal contradicts the reality of the available sources. Nowhere is there any mention of this title. The practice of football is "male" by default. Only the mention of "women's" differentiates the two competitions. It is true that the world of football may be considered by some to be backward-looking compared to handball or volleyball, for example, but the encyclopaedia that is Wikipedia is not intended to be ahead of the sources. We can only reflect what the sources say. Wikipedia does not have to be innovative in this respect. Matpib (talk) 13:15, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Oppose Mostly in relation to the First Division, as a Men's First Division would imply the existence of a Women's First Division, and it will likely be a number of seasons before the latter occurs. Culloty82 (talk) 15:22, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
