Talk:Israeli Basketball Premier League

Article name
"Ligat Winner" is the league's sponsorship name, and will change when sponsorship changes (as they all do, eventually). This article name should therefore be either


 * "Ligat ha'Al (basketball)", the mixed Hebrew/English actual name of the league; or


 * "Israeli Basketball Superleague", the translation of the league's title in Hebrew (ליגת העל בכדורסל).

I think the article name should be the latter ("Israeli Basketball Superleague"), for the following reasons:


 * 1) we should probably avoid mixing languages -- this is the English language edition of Wikipedia;
 * 2) this is the official title of the league; and
 * 3) this matches the Hebrew edition article title.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

-Toto is owned by "Toto-Winner" (המועצה להימורים בספורט), and Lotto is owned by Mifal HaPayis. two different organizations. Mifal HaPayis is the one sponsoring the league. other than that, the file may need to be updated to 12 teams (Hapoel Tel Aviv joining, Hapoel Eilat joining and BC HaBikaa leaving). -Roger Mason Jr. and Pooh Jeter also played Israeli teams before going to the NBA. -the method played with foreign players is now chosen by each team. the teams choose if they prefer to play with 4 foreign players on the roster or "Russian Rule", which allows 6 foreign players in the roster, but only 3 on the court at any given time. and I agree it should be called "Israeli Basketball Super League", like its official English name. http://basket.co.il/Data.asp?id=1&lang=en

I'm new to wikipedia "talks" and "edits" so I'm sorry if I wrote this in the wrong format and place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.80.183.251 (talk) 02:32, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
