Canadian national football team → Canadian national football team (disambiguation) — [With this page redirecting towards Canada men's national soccer team. I understand why this would be controversial, but there isn't an American Football or Canadian football team as far as I'm aware. It therefore seems illogical to inconvenience those who refer to soccer as football, without there being a benefit for those who do not. N.B. I am not suggesting that Canada men's national soccer team changes its name- that is the appropriate title. ] --WFCforLife (talk) 01:52, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose There is no reason to redirect to Canada men's national soccer team rather than Canada women's national soccer team. I agree with your rationale that "football" should be taken as a synonym to "soccer" since there is no such team for Canadian/American football, but we still have to disambiguate between genders. Canada men's national football team and Canada women's national football team should redirect to soccer, and they already do so.
 * Since there are no teams for Canadian or American football, I see no reason for those redlinks to be in the article at all. I just removed them, which will hopefully clear up the discussion a bit. — INTRIGUE B LUE  (talk|contribs) 02:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment See also Canada national soccer team, which now looks exactly the same as this article. — INTRIGUE B LUE (talk|contribs)
 * Comment On further reflection, this whole system of disambiguation/redirects is a mess. Since the destination articles are titled Canada men's national soccer team and Canada women's national soccer team, this article should redirect to one disambiguation page at Canada national soccer team, as should Canadian national soccer team and Canada national football team. — INTRIGUE B LUE (talk|contribs) 02:54, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with the changes made so far, and agree that one disambig at Canada national soccer team would be fine. One last comment- most teams I've come across simply direct XXX national soccer team to the men's page, for instance England, Germany, Norway and France.

 * In that case, maybe we should move Canada national men's soccer team to Canada national soccer team to fit with the others. I can see that move ruffling a few feathers, though. — INTRIGUE B LUE (talk&#124;contribs) 01:29, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
