Same league, different name. A name change doesn't warrant a separate article. Let's go with the one that lasted longest. --Michig (talk) 13:56, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merged. --Michig (talk) 08:41, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Northern League (speedway) → Northern League (motorcycle) – The term "speedway" refers to a disciple of bicycle racing, as well as a disciple of motorcycle racing. This article is about motorcycle speedway and not bicycle speedway, so the better disambiguator is "motorcycle" or "motorcycling" -- 65.92.244.143 (talk) 17:25, 8 June 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Oppose. Current title is unambiguous; there is no article for a Northern League (cycle speedway). The (speedway) tag is consistent with other articles in Category:Speedway competitions in the United Kingdom. 162 etc. (talk) 18:27, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. It is used as the standard convention for other speedway articles i.e. Wembley Lions, Glasgow Tigers, London Lions etc, not to mention hundreds of articles listed as 'speedway rider' Pyeongchang (talk) 09:06, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose. "Speedway" commonly refers to motorcycle racing and is not ambiguous in this context in any case. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:06, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That statement is incorrect, since speedway is a disambiguation page, and not the motorcycling article; and the move request is not based on this current page name being ambiguous with another topic, but rather a using better disambiguator, because the disambiguator has many meanings; even though the current title is not ambiguous -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 05:08, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation is for disambiguation, nothing more. This disambiguates it perfectly well. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:01, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
