2015 World Ladies Snooker Championship → 2015 World Women's Snooker Championship – WP:CONSISTENT with article's own lead (minus the commercial sponsor name-dropping) and World Women's Snooker Championship main article. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  09:04, 3 November 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Sources seem to be a bit inconsistent, but probably more have "Ladies" than "Women's". The governing bodies favour "Ladies" (see the links in the article for WLBSA/WPBSA, and WST). Unfortunately I can't access NewsBank, due to the British Library's current issues, to see more news sources. Sky and SCMP, and Belfast Telegraph all have "Ladies". Snooker Scene has "WLBSA world women's champion" (i.e. not capitalised.) There may be a case for changing the lead rather than the article title.

 * Changing the other article might be the thing to do then, pending more research, but we can't have them named completely differently like this.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  11:51, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * If consistency is the main consideration, then the relevant articles in the list at World Women's Snooker Championship should probably be renamed to XXXX World Women's Snooker Championship, which would match what WWS has. (The 1984 events are special cases - there was no "professional" championship in 1984 but the Grand Prix seems to have been retrospectively recognised as one.) This consistency would mirror the World Snooker Championship articles, which give that title to articles for events before the "World" was officially added.

 * Well, "XXXX World Women's Snooker Championship" is what I proposed here. Various of the other articles may need to be handled individually, because of factors like the 1984 thing, and one or more of the early events being amateur, and various of the articles not using a consistent naming pattern at all, with some being in the form "XXXX Women's World Championship (snooker)". I suppose many of them could be put into a multi-RM, but some of them would not fit it.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  02:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support – ProQuest turns up 20 sources for Ladies, 55 for Women's. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 19:08, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
