Talk:Austin Peay Governors men's basketball

Request move
If any administrators see this message, this page should be moved to Austin Peay Governors men's basketball, "Austin Peay" is APSU's athletic abbreviation and men's and women's pages are separate.--Prisencolinensinainciusol (talk) 03:35, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It is the standard naming convention for all men's and women's teams who have different nicknames (which are far more the exception than the rule) to drop the gender. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:27, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Austin Peay Governors men's basketball → Austin Peay Governors basketball – Austin Peay never stopped referring to their women's team as Lady Govs nor their men's team as Governors (check both programs' 2018–19 media guides), despite what some editors from spring 2017 say. It's been long-standing WP:CBBALL consensus to name the men's and women's programs without the specific gender identifier in instances such as this, where it's obvious to begin with. All categories still follow proper naming conventions, thus this original move was an erroneous one-off. SportsGuy789 (talk) 02:17, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Support move per nom. No need to specify it's the men's team, because the team name already does that.  O.N.R.  (talk) 03:05, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Austin Peay Governors basketball → Austin Peay Governors men's basketball – In the time since the last move, Austin Peay has completely abandoned the use of "Lady Govs" for their women's basketball team, and media outlets no longer refer to them as such. Since both teams use the nickname "Governors," the gender marker is now necessary. fuzzy510 (talk) 09:44, 21 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Strongly support per above. From what I've been able to mine on Peay's athletic website, it started using "Governors" for women's teams sometime around the 2016–17 school year, though per the last move it may not have been fully consistent until more recently. — Dale Arnett (talk) 05:05, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
