Talk:Verdun Maple Leafs (ice hockey)

I propose to move Verdun Maple Leafs (hockey) back to Verdun Maple Leafs, and leave Verdun Maple Leafs (football) where it is. I feel that that senior and junior ice hockey teams which existed over a span 50 years, are more notable than the junior football team which existed for six years. At best, the series of stub articles for the Quebec Junior Football League should be merged into one article. Flibirigit (talk) 22:51, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Neutral I can agree with what you are saying, but personally I always prefer the main article name to be the disambiguator page, no matter how notable one of the articles is compared to the other. I dislike having to use Verdun Maple Leafs (disambiguation) for example. -Djsasso (talk) 16:05, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not suggesting we create the disambiguation page, rather put a simple hat note at the top. Flibirigit (talk) 17:50, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • No I realize that, but I am saying I prefer to have Verdun Maple Leafs as the disambiguator page. A note in my opinion is never a good option. I always prefer the main name to be a disambiguation page. -Djsasso (talk) 23:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Tempted to support. I thought at first that the football team was only six years old, and if thatd been the situation I might have been neutral (comparing active team to bigger but defunct team). But football team has been defunct for 25 years, and hockey article was created first. What should have happened since there was only two articles is for Verdun Maple Leafs (football) to be created and note added to top of Verdun Maple Leafs page. Disambiguation only needed after three articles. Cross porpoises (talk) 19:34, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE:I have combined all the stub articles into Notre-Dame-de-Grace Maple Leafs. Now Verdun Maple Leafs (football) redirects there. Flibirigit (talk) 08:07, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Here in England the usual plural of "leaf" is "leaves". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's the same plural in North America too, however the team is spelled as "Maple Leafs." Flibirigit (talk) 17:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Outcome

N Given the three weeks discussion time and the tepid (at best) comments above, I'm going to decline the move. If I've misinterpreted the comments or if I've missed something, please re-open the RfM. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 04:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
