Talk:Greater Sydney Rams

Merger Proposal
Think old Western Sydney Rams is linear enough with the new club to merge into it. Opened it for discussion however. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hatgreg (talk • contribs) 07:39, 17 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Support: Keep the information together. Ham105 (talk) 10:43, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Support also. It's a revival of the Rams team in the same region. Agree on the merger of the articles. Kiap (talk) 03:13, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

While I support the idea, I think it was done in a wrong way - not by creating a new article and redirecting the old one - that's not merging. It should be done like in Central Coast Rays to North Harbour Rays case - moving the article and then add some info. Now all history and significant contributions from other people are lost (eg. squad from 2007). Miodzio3 (talk) 08:23, 12 May 2014 (UTC)


 * All the old info is retained in the old page history which you can get to here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Western_Sydney_Rams&redirect=no if you wish to edit further. Personally don't think the entire squad from every year is entirely relevant,and takes up a tremendous amount of page space. However if formatted properly it could work. RugbyFuture (talk) 04:48, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * You're missing the point - if it's linear enough (as you wrote), the article should be moved from old name to new, and then you could change it as you like. Using the same logic, should we in 2012 create new article The Rugby Championship then delete content of Tri Nations and change it into redirect? Miodzio3 (talk) 08:20, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Requested move 30 June 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 20:15, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

– A move over redirect. This rugby team was originally called the Western Sydney Rams in 2007, but was renamed and the page moved to Greater Sydney Rams in 2014. However as of 2016 the club has reverted to its original name so the article should now be moved back to Western Sydney Rams -- Ham105 (talk) 05:34, 30 June 2016 (UTC). --Relisting. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:59, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Greater Sydney Rams → Western Sydney Rams
 * Western Sydney Rams → Greater Sydney Rams
 * Relisting comment - I will ping WT:WikiProject Rugby union and Australian Wikipedians' notice board in case they have some input into this discussion. I've also removed the second part of the move. There's no need to specify that there will be a redirect from the old title to the new title, that is automatically assumed. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 22:59, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support - It makes perfect sense to use the current name of the team. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 06:21, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Support - No brainer surely? Sirpottingmix (talk) 22:36, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
