Talk:Regionalliga

Rough translation
I tried to make the text a little easier to understand for an English speaker. If anyone could have a look at that, it would be nice to have that box removed (I don't dare to do it myself ;) )Madcynic 23:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, as noone looked until now, I removed the box (and of course forgot to enter that fact in the summary field - shame on me). Should anyone disagree with my action, they are welcome to comment on my talkpage. --Madcynic 12:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

League set-up - Relegation
The sentence 'However, as teams are allocated to the Regionalliga divisions by their geographical location using a rough geographical boundary, it is possible for one division to have up to twenty teams.' does not really explain why a Regionalliga can get too many teams. The reason is that teams do not get reallocated between the two divisions. The only teams that have played in both divisions have achieved this by promotion or relegation out of the Regionalliga and relegation or promotion back into it.

My suggestion is 'However, as teams are allocated to the Regionalliga divisions by their geographical location using a rough geographical boundary, and are not reallocated between the two divisions, it is possible for one division to have up to twenty teams.' Coyets 11:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea, sounds fine. Madcynic 12:02, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Regionalliga logo 2007.png

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Fußball-Regionalliga → German regional league – or somesuch – per WP:UE. The word 'fußball' isn't English and in any event is redundant; 'Regionalliga' just means 'Regional League'.  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 16:57, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Survey

 * Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with  or  , then sign your comment with  . Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.


 * Oppose There is far to many Regionalligas in German sports, not just in football, a form of disambiguation is definately needed. It might be wise to await the outcome of the requested move discusion at Talk:Fußball-Bundesliga to come up with a new naming convention of German association football leagues. Calistemon (talk) 12:19, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose I would support "Regionalliga (football)" as an alternative name, but not the current suggestion. Kingjeff (talk) 16:54, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

– The main article was recently moved by User:Ohconfucius to its new title but now we have the various Regionalliga articles at all sorts of titles, one and the category still with the word Fußball in it, some with half English half German title, some with an all German title. I propose to rename them all to a German title without the word Fußball in it. The Regionalliga does not seem to get much coverage in the English speaking media from what I can see. Where it does, like Soccerway, the German league names are used without the Fußball. This would also align the articles with Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga and 3. Liga. Calistemon (talk) 13:14, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Regionalliga (football) → Regionalliga
 * Fußball-Regionalliga Nord → Regionalliga Nord
 * Regionalliga South-west → Regionalliga Südwest
 * Regionalliga North-east → Regionalliga Nordost
 * Regionalliga West/South-west → Regionalliga West/Südwest
 * Regionalliga → Regionalliga (disambiguation) (added by  Ohc  ¡digame!¿que pasa? 13:36, 18 June 2013)

 * Comment - User:Ohconfucius, please can you explain why you took it upon yourself to move the article on 7 June 2013, only a week after your requested move was closed as no consensus? Your page moves relating to German football are becoming increasingly problematic. GiantSnowman 13:54, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I apologise that I went overboard with that change. I took it upon myself, hastily following the Bundesliga RM, to move the article despite the sparsely attended RM here failed to generate consensus for moving to 'German regional league'. With the move to a title that was not the same as the one I suggested (simply without the 'Fußball-'), I hoped that I had addressed the remaining concerns at the latter RM. --  Ohc  ¡digame!¿que pasa? 10:06, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose Regionalliga is not a disambiguation page, and should stay where it is. It's been there since 2005, and has not been moved. -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 21:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - 'Regionalliga' referring to football looks to be a primary topic. GiantSnowman 10:33, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - this move is consistent with the other recent moves of German football league, where we still use German names but leave out "Fußball", because that is the most common named used in English sources. Though the article current named Regionalliga is not a disambiguation page (?), and should either be made into a disambig-page, or we should find another title. Mentoz86 (talk) 09:05, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
