Volleyball at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men → Volleyball at the 2012 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament – (Relisted again to accumulate more input.) This page was recently moved to its current name by Leesw616. I respectfully disagree with that move on the grounds a) the previous name (now suggested here as new) is better, and b) most pages from other years – and other sports – are named following the previous pattern, and it would require a huge effort to bring other pages into consistency.

"Men" is simpler than "Men's tournament". And this form is already being used at other olympic pages. Please, see the page Basketball at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men. In my opinion, there is no problem. Leesw616 (talk) 13:56, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that it's simpler, but is it better? I'm aware that for some sports, e.g. basketball, some pages have the shorter variant. We need to bring these pages into consistency, the question is to which naming convention. I'll place a notice on the WP:Project Olympics project page. HandsomeFella (talk) 15:25, 13 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Support. Standard naming practice. Jenks24 (talk) 21:14, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per precedent and aesthetics. "- Men" looks odd. Frankly, I think I'd prefer "Men's volleyball at...", but I'll stick to the question at hand. --BDD (talk) 16:52, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. The other volleyball articles use the "Men's/Women's tournament" style. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 12:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
