CyMoahk2 + GrouchoPython - I see you both have done a bit of work on updating attendance #'s, stats, etc for NWSL season articles in the past. I was wondering if this article might be something you would be interested in helping update + publish? I've based it on a copy of the MLS attendance article and started updating the lead and some other sections. The following sections need updating (along with anything else you think would be good to add):

~~2016 season #'s, stadiums, capacity~~
NWSL attendance vs. other women's soccer leagues worldwide (could be shortened // hidden for now)
NWSL Championship playoffs (not sure if data available // hidden for now)

Ah, nice! I've had a rough draft of this article sitting on my computer for about a month now. X-D I'm definitely interested in helping here! Some of the sections on my rough draft included comparing NWSL to other US soccer leagues, as opposed to the other US women's sports leagues you've currently got. I'm also working on a year-by-year attendance table like the one already on the MLS attendance article. I'll see what updates I can throw on right now. Thanks for starting this Hmlarson!

The result of the move request was: not moved due due to general consensus over COMMONNAME as brought up first by Steel1943. (non-admin closure) Tiggerjay (talk) 22:57, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

National Women's Soccer League attendance → NWSL attendance – commonname Hmlarson (talk) 21:23, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Hmlarson: Or would it be clearer to use the full name? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. NWSL is a redirect, which invalidates the WP:COMMONNAME claim since that would mean that National Women's Soccer League world be at NWSL, which it is not. Steel1943 (talk) 22:00, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: per WP:CONSISTENCY - the main article is at National Women's Soccer League not NWSL; either all pages related to the National Women's Soccer League should change or none should. Ebonelm (talk) 23:14, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: also per WP:CONSISTENCY - the article this one is intended to mirror is Major League Soccer attendance, not MLS attendance. CyMoahk2 (talk) 23:22, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support re: WP:CONSISTENCY - either this should be changed to NWSL attendance or the following should be changed in reverse:
NWSL expansion
NWSL Player Allocation
List of NWSL drafts
NWSL College Draft
NWSL Player of the Week
NWSL awards
NWSL Player of the Month
NWSL Playoffs
List of foreign NWSL players
2014 NWSL Expansion Draft
2013 NWSL College Draft
2015 NWSL College Draft
2016 NWSL College Draft
NWSL Shield

et al... Hmlarson (talk) 00:21, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- You mean like...
- MLS SuperDraft
- MLS Cup Playoffs
- List of foreign MLS players
- MLS Best XI
- etc.?
- My point here is that "consistency" is relative. I don't know what the people who work with MLS articles generally do, but in my opinion I would prefer we use "National Women's Soccer League __" for any article that's more encyclopedic and "NWSL __" for any article that's more casual parlance, if that makes any sense. Or just mirror how the MLS articles are already split. CyMoahk2 (talk) 03:18, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I can see it both ways. When I google "NWSL attendance" vs "National Women's Soccer League attendance", I don't get the article in the results for the former - how about you? There's something to be said for WP:COMMONNAME - particularly when the league's own website homepage only lists the full league name in the footer and HTML title. Hmlarson (talk) 03:41, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Steel1943. The proposed new title should be kept as a redirect. SST flyer 10:51, 1 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. From CyMoahk2's comment above, it seems that the consistency argument doesn't quite work in this case. However, there is a reason why the main article is not at NWSL and that is WP:RECOGNIZABILITY, and in particular MOS:ACRONYMTITLE. NWSL is not a household name in the same way that NASA or CIA is, and it is therefore preferable to spell it out. The same should apply to the other articles in the list above, in my opinion. — Amakuru (talk) 12:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Individual game highest attendance[edit]

Why is there a separate section for "Doubleheaders with other teams" when that list contains only one entry? Wouldn't it better be served by an footnote like the asterisk for the "Sell Out"? Is there a relevant part of the style guide or a compelling reason these two lists shouldn't be combined? Is there another article where the same distinction is made?
