Roma Women's Sevens

I may be wrong, but this looks like a hoax and copyvio of Hong Kong Women's Sevens. See the Duplicate Checker. Night of the Big Wind (talk) 23:33, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment This source and this source seem to suggest that this rugby tournament is not a hoax, though the name of the tournament seems inaccurate-- it should be Roma Seven Ladies Tournament. The 2010 stats also seem to be coming from these pages.  Not sure where the 2011 stats are coming from-- I can't find them on the website. I, Jethrobot drop me a line 00:57, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

 * DO NOT DELETE!!! This is not a hoax. The introduction is based on (but it NOT the same as) the Hong Kong Sevens introduction because it is a women's sevens tournament that includes the unofficial New Zealand team, so is a very similar event so many of the same notes therefore apply - though as one takes place in Hong Kong and other in Rome they are also very different!!! 2011 results were published as the games took place, based on reports from the stadium published in various sources (mainly news media). The tournament organisers have probably not published the scores yet on their website, which actually makes this all the more important as this is the only source that brings all the scores together in one place. As for the "correct" name of the event, that seems to depend a little of your translation from Italian, but also the fact that the wider sport is invariably called "Women's rugby" and "Women's rugby sevens" - "Ladies rugby" is simply not a sought term, so "Roma Ladies Sevens" or (even worse) "Roma Sevens Ladies" would simply not be the term most people seeking information would search for. I've now made a few changes so it is clearly different to the Hong Kong page. Everyone now happy???Johnlbirch (talk)
 * Almost. It looked like a hoax to me because I read "Roma" as "Roma and Sinti" instead of recognizing the city of "Rome". Changing the name of the city in the correct English form willhelp a lot. The participation of unofficial teams also makes the status of the tournament unclear. Is it an unofficial tournament or is it an official tournament? Fix that, and I will be happy.

 * Sorry - it is called the "Roma Sevens". Check the English language website and the name it is given on Scrumqueens (the leading women's rugby website) and the FIRA forum. You may not like this, but unfortunately that is a fact. I fail to see why Wikipedia should make up a name for the tournament that no-one else uses.Johnlbirch (talk)
 * Merge Not a hoax, but it should be merged into the Roma seven article. The first paragraph is a standard introduction for Sevens rugby and the rest are just results. AIR corn (talk) 06:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge - title should be "Rome" sevens, "Roma sevens" sounds like Gypsy rugby tournament. Regardless of the title on the website, which has several grammatical errors in the English.--MacRusgail (talk) 17:30, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
