Talk:Northern Raiders

Requested move
New York Raiders

Northern Raiders → — The Northern Raiders have changed their name to New York Raiders. The article would need to be moved over a redirect for the San Diego Mariners, a defunct sports team that was once called NY Raiders. A hatnote can be used should the move be accepted.

There is now an article at New York Raiders rather than a redirect. This is due to a WikiProject Ice Hockey convention of have an article for each location at which a franchise is based. I don't believe this is a good use of a namespace that's in demand, I think that WP Ice Hockey should consider following the lead of other sports and having a single article for each club or franchise but that is another debate. Regarding this move request, I believe the hockey article at New York Raiders should be moved to New York Raiders (WHA).  LunarLander  //  talk  // 15:31, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Update
 * The only hesitation I have with this is that the WHA was (arguably) a top level professional league like the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL etc. Whereas, this team is a semi-professional team with likely less significance. I might suggest changing this page to a disambig page itself and then link both from this page. Because I don't think the semi-pro rugby team would be considered a primary topic over a top level professional hockey team. -DJSasso (talk) 16:36, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Easily solved. I would argue that the New York WHA team was better known by its second name.  That article should be moved to New York Golden Blades (over its existing redirect), which would free this article to move to New York Raiders with a hat note pointing anyone looking for the old WHA team to its new location.

 * Yeah that would be a good idea. -DJSasso (talk) 21:07, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I support this. Golden Blades does seem to be clearly the more popular name for the hockey team.  LunarLander  //  talk  // 17:46, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I would say go ahead and make the moves you have listed below. If you can't let me know and I can move them. -DJSasso (talk) 15:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok I have moved them and changed all the redirects I think. Just have to wait for the jobqueue to update the "What links here" for all the pages that have the template transcluded. I will check back in a few hours if I remember to make sure any straglers are fixed. -DJSasso (talk) 11:39, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Current consensus is:

Northern Raiders → New York Raiders


 * New York Raiders →   LunarLander  //  talk  // 15:34, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
