AfD: Nick Floyd

Not directly related to this project, per se, but of tangential interest to some members here as a former NCAA Division I athletic director. Please see: here. Thanks, Ejgreen77 (talk) 00:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

2003 MAAC Men's Basketball Tournament

Niagara is listed with two separate records in the season standings. Can someone fix with the correct standings? 140.186.148.170 (talk) 15:02, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Y Corrected issue. Thanks for pointing it out. SportsGuy789 (talk) 21:57, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject College Basketball → Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball – There is a mismatch in capitalizing between the project name and the project category system. This seems to be the better fix. Gonnym (talk) 12:58, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

• Comment, do you mean Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball, keeping it in the Wikipedia namespace not the mainspace? DankJae 13:15, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
  • Yes, thanks for pointing that out. Fixed target name. --Gonnym (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
• Support move to Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball, it would keep it in line with Wikipedia:WikiProject College football and Wikipedia:WikiProject College baseball. Note: Template:WikiProject College Basketball may need to be moved as well.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 20:26, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
• There are a large number of WikiProjects that don't use sentence casing in their titles. I don't think this needs to be standardized in the Wikipedia namespace. If the opinions of the project participants favor the move, then OK; otherwise this sort of thing is not really necessary. Dekimasuよ! 03:00, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

  If the opinions of the project participants favor the move, then OK ...: It shouldn't be up to a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS, but then this is already a community level RM.—Bagumba (talk) 03:25, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

  That's true if the discussion concerned an outward-facing part of the encyclopedia, but project space is not handled the same way. WikiProjects are generally given a lot of control over their own workings: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#WikiProjects define their scopes, etc. Note that on the guide page linked here, the "foobar" title for a new WikiProject is shown as Wikipedia:WikiProject Your Favorite Topic in title case. Since WikiProjects are completely dependent upon the willingness of editors to participate, it makes sense to act in accordance with the opinions of project members. There are lots of very large or very active WikiProjects that use title case, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors, Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, or Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular Biology. I am not saying that WikiProjects should be able to do whatever they want, but I don't see any benefit in having editors not involved in the WikiProject attempting to institute a change here. Dekimasuよ! 04:11, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

  No opinion on my part. The nom just seems to be looking for some case consistency between the names Wikipedia:WikiProject College Basketball and Category:WikiProject College basketball.—Bagumba (talk) 07:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

• Support move to Wikipedia:WikiProject College basketball per above. SportsGuy789 (talk) 00:58, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
• Question Since this is already on the project's talk page (which is how I found it), doesn't it stand to reason that this forum is exactly where project members are giving their opinions on the matter? It doesn't appear that we have any disagreements so far and we are several days in.-UCO2009bluejay (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
• Support move to lowercase "b" for basketball, per all above. Ejgreen77 (talk) 06:47, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Pac-12... not dead after all?

Per official Pac-12 announcement, four schools will be joining for all sports in July 2026. For basketball specifically, I suppose I can undo my own edits about the final year of basketball being 2024 the respective CPOY and CCOY articles? Is that what everyone else thinks too? SportsGuy789 (talk) 00:17, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I guess the Pac-12 is not sponsoring basketball for the next two seasons, as the 2 schools will be affiliate members in the West Coast Conference.[1]—Bagumba (talk) 12:26, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

That's my interpretation... but maybe I should change the Pac-12 CPOY article (for example) to mirror the Senior CLASS award in that the infobox's "most recent" award is listed as a hiatus, with a footnote referencing the presumption of basketball being resumed in 2026–27? SportsGuy789 (talk) 18:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

If nobody objects to my suggestion, when I have a bit more time I will update the infoboxes, remove the "awards discontinued in 2024" categories, add sources to the presumed 2026–27 continuation of Pac-12 basketball, and move the Pac-12 CPOY and CCOY articles back into the "active" sections on the CBB awards navboxes?
