Moved. See general agreement to rename these articles from "championship" to "tournament" to improve consistency. Have a Great Day and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover)  Painius  put'r there  17:47, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]


– I notice in Template:National Collegiate Athletic Association that the articles about NCAA championships outside of basketball and football have inconsistent naming styles. According to WP:COMMONNAME: "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources."

Here are my more specific rationales for the renames.


  • Comments I have no opinion on the underlying question, but here are some points worth considering:
    • The championship is both broader and narrower in scope than the tournament. To win the championship, a team will first have to play its regular season, and do well enough to qualify for the championship tournament.
    • News media articles during the regular season will mostly be about predicting who will qualify for the tournament rather than who will win the championship, as the media don't want to look too far into the future.
    • Category:2017 NCAA Division I women's volleyball season doesn't currently have a summary article.

  • Oppose proposed move for men's National Collegiate volleyball tournament due to the existence of the NCAA Division III Men's Volleyball Championship, first held in 2012. I wouldn't object to a change to the NCAA's official usage of "NCAA National Collegiate Men's Volleyball Championship" (the current page has "Men's" directly after "NCAA") or "NCAA National Collegiate Men's Volleyball Tournament". While we're at it, I also don't object to moving the page on the Division III men's volleyball event from "Championship" to "Tournament". Support all other proposed changes. — Dale Arnett (talk) 06:44, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Changing from Championship to Tournament. I take Dale Arnett's point regarding Volleyball, but don't think this should derail the larger point. Billcasey905 (talk) 04:15, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Nom's rationale makes sense.--Cúchullain t/c 15:47, 21 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relation to games during the rest of the year

[edit]

What relation is there between the tournament and games played during the rest of the year (such as for example the Nebraska Cornhuskers - Omaha Mavericks record game)? Assuming there is one it would be nice to add information on it to the article. Gunnar Larsson (talk) 12:49, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
