Requested move 6 June 2021
- 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: No consensus (and low participation). As BennyOnTheLoose pointed out, we sometimes do keep sponsor names in the titles when there is no better alternative, and this could easily be one of these situations. I concur that the proposed title would not be as WP:RECOGNIZABLE. No such user (talk) 13:10, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
1985 Kit Kat Break for World Champions → 1985 Break for World Champions – we don't usually have sponsor names in titles for events (see 2020 Masters etc. This one is a bit different, as it is clearly a play on words with the "break" being a slogan for Kit Kat. As this was only played once, it's a bit different, but I still don't feel we should be emphasising the sponsor of the event, the same as we do for other events. Putting up for RM as potentially non-contentious. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:43, 6 June 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:01, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Comment. We do have some older tournaments where the sponsor's name is currently included. Looking at the 1979–80 snooker season, we have the Limosin International, the Kronenbrau 1308 Classic, Padmore Super Crystalate International, Tolly Cobbold Classic, Pontins Professional and Pontins Camber Sands as the links for tournaments - two of which would potentially just be the "International" if sponsors names are removed. In 1978–79 snooker season there are the Holsten Lager International, Forward Chemicals Tournament, Tolly Cobbold Classic, Pontins Professional, and Golden Masters. We could keep sponsor names only where needed for disambiguation, I guess, so I'm not objecting to the proposed change - although my personal preference (rather than policy-based argument) would be to keep the 1985 "break" tournament title as it is.

- The Pontins Professional is a bit different as it was played at Pontins. I could see us using just the ones where it would disambiguate, but nothing more. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:46, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
