Talk:Hamilton Fincups

Renaming article
I suggest the article be renamed, as the Fincups never actually played in the OHL. The article is also a combined recount of the Fincups years in Hamilton and St. Catharines.

I propose:
 * Fincups hockey club or
 * Fincups junior hockey club or
 * Hamilton and St. Catharines Fincups

Any other ideas? Flibirigit 15:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * How about just Fincups? It seems pretty unlikely that anything else will ever compete for that article space. Alternately I prefer moving it to Hamilton Fincups, since the St. Cats year only happened because of an emergency (it was late August before they found out they were moving).

 * We could also use Fincups (OMJHL). I think just Fincups might be too short and semi-ambiguous? Flibirigit 15:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I did a Google search for "Fincup," the results include a Finnish Cup competition, that might be wikiworthy. Flibirigit 15:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't like Fincups (OMJHL) because most people have never heard of the OMJHL. Heck, even I hadn't heard of it before a couple months ago. I think that Hamilton/St. Catharines Fincups is probably the best idea. BoojiBoy 15:50, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I like your other idea better. Hamilton Fincups would be simpler, more recognizable, and many wikilinks already exist to that name. Hamilton/St. Catharines Fincups or Fincups hockey club are slightly more correct, but cumbersome. I think we should just move it to Hamilton Fincups. Flibirigit 15:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * The redirect page has a history of its own so it will have to be reqmoved. BoojiBoy 15:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Then we can move Fincups (OHL) and its Talk:Fincups (OHL) page to Hamilton Fincups? I believe the talk page goes with the article? Flibirigit 16:01, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I said "reqmoved", please don't change what I said. See WP:RM. BoojiBoy 16:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Let's do the reqmove thing merging histories and talk pages for Fincups (OHL) with Hamilton Fincups. Flibirigit 16:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. If consensus is built the page will be moved in a week or so. BoojiBoy 16:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
