Talk:Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas

Article name
The title of the article is too long. Would it be better to shorten the title to "BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas" and just have the complete name in the introduction?
 * Actually the name they were using at newspapers is "BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas". Might as well check with SEC or FIBA. -- Howard  the   Duck  11:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

http://www.mb.com.ph/SPRT2007021787365.html "Resolved, as it is hereby resolved, to approve the application and admit as a regular member of, and as the national sport association for basketball in the POC the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas Inc. (to be renamed BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas Inc.)," the POC resolution stated."
 * OK, might as well move this. -- Howard   the   Duck  09:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It was reported on November 21, 2008 that the official name of the association is now just Samahang Basktbol ng Pilipinas, Inc.

From the Daily Tribune: http://www.tribune.net.ph/sports/20081121spo1.html - SBP goes on it's own as NSA (by Julius Manicad):

The association will now be known officially as the SBP, with its officials, led by its president, telecommunications mogul Manny Pangilinan, vowing to launch a nationwide information drive to counter the posturing of the BAP, which still claims to be the legitimate NSA for the sport.

“Yes we have dropped BAP from the official name of the legitimate national basketball association of the country,” SBP executive director Noli Eala told the Tribune.

The SBP decision left the BAP with no legal ground to stand on, being an outsider in official affairs of the SBP.

And coupled with the 16-page decision dated Nov. 18, by the CA (Court of Appeals)’s special ninth division, which affirmed the SBP’s national congress last June 12 when Pangilinan was elected president, the BAP is now considered officially defunct.

If there is no objection, I will move the article to Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas. Mk32 (talk) 23:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

It seems that we're the only country that sticks with the local name of our governing body as the article name. Would it be a good idea to change the it to an English one? Daisynians (talk) 04:11, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
