Talk:2025 SEA Games

Proposed merge with Ubon Ratchathani bid for the 2025 Southeast Asian Games
Given how minor an event the SEA Games is (compared to the Olympics), it's very unlikely that enough coverage will be generated to sustain separate articles on such minute details. The "bid" article is currently sourced only to a local news site, which does not help establish notability. Paul_012 (talk) 03:43, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment: Why not also nominate the main article Southeast Asian Games? --Paul_012 (talk) 04:01, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Fails the Recognizability  and Naturalness criteria of WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. Also, this woukd break  Brown Haired Girl (talk) • (contribs) 04:16, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. I added Southeast Asian Games here. Hddty. (talk) 07:26, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per BrownHairedGirl. However, redirects at all of the proposed destinations should be created. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:19, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the above. SEA Games to me sounds like some computer game event.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 17:44, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose While "SEA Games" indeed are used officially. "Southeast Asian Games" is also an official name of the games. Also favor the longer title for being less vague (more direct and does not imply that only watersports are only contested here) to English-speaking readers outside Southeast Asia.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 10:30, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has many article that use ambiguous but popular name that used in the logo (example World Series). The article also didn't imply watersports games because there's no other games titled "Sea Games". Keeping the title in favor of readers outside of Southeast Asia is kind of useless because majority of readers that come to these articles is from Southeast Asia or already know what "SEA Games" mean. The readers who don't know already can read the first paragraph: "The [year] SEA Games, was a Southeast Asian multi-sport event..." Hddty. (talk) 11:41, 20 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Support. Per WP:COMMONNAME. "SEA Games" is the term most commonly used by reliable sources to refer to the subject. It outnumbers "Southeast Asian Games" by several orders of magnitude in the English-language news sites of the region. I don't see how "SEA Games" fails the Recognizability or Naturalness WP:NAMINGCRITERIA; a person familiar with the subject area would surely recognise the term "SEA Games", and editors could be reasonably expected to link to it. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:54, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
