I agree on all three points The inclusion or not of State in the team names is determined by WP COMMONNAME Cbl probably had the best idea with regard to Lady if there is no mascot gender difference except the use of Lady then omit Lady from the article title create a Lady redirect and include Lady in the lead as bolded text I think that resolves the gender problem 90 of the time As for the new naming scheme do not underestimate SMcC he is an MOS regular and a self styled article title expert on article titles He is relentless as pitbull terrier and he s right more often than he s wrong and he sometimes gets his way even when he is wrong Better to nip that in the bud before we re forced to have a Wikipedia wide RfC on college sports team names and have to defend existing consensus to a bunch of people who don t understand the existing naming system Cheers old man
