Philippines national rugby union team → Philippine National Rugby Union Team – The word "Philippines" can only be a noun, and it can't act as an adjective, thus, "Philippine" is used which is an adjective. (eg. Philippine National Police, Philippine National Red Cross, Philippine National Railways, etc) Thinkbeforeyoupost (talk) 04:01, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opinion or preference for "Phillipine" or "Phillipines" but the capital letters in "National Rugby Union Team" shouldn't be there. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 20:56, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree on the capitalisation (as per Mattingbn) but note that other articles use the name of the country e.g. England national rugby union team not the adjective and so the article should stay where it is. The use of the country name is consistent with the naming policies used in other sports e.g. England national football team.GordyB (talk) 21:37, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So they do, I never really thought about that before. Previous moves have been justified citing Wikipedia:Naming conventions, which I assume is the WP:Noun part. AIRcorn (talk) 23:51, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - The standard naming convention is to use the name of the nation rather than the demonym, therefore Philippines national rugby union team is the correct name. – PeeJay 00:41, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. We do not used adjectives in the names of these teams. For example, we use the word Scotland for the Scotland national rugby union team. The word Scotland is not an adjective, it is a noun. The adjectives to use for Scotland would be Scottish or Scots. Therefore, the usage of the noun Philippines in this title is appropriate. --Bob247 (talk) 01:04, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
