Talk:United States cities with teams from four major league sports

message: Should we add Seattle as a city that has had teams in all four sports? They never had all four at the same time, but they could at least be mentioned under the "former cities" section. Malcolmmwa (talk) 01:43, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mentioning Seattle 

message: The name of this article has been changed several times recently, without any discussion.  Usually it's better to talk about these things first.  So, let's talk about it now.    Here are the recent name changes:
* July 2 from "U.S. cities with teams from four major league sports" to "United States metropolitan areas with four major league sports teams"
* November 12 from "United States metropolitan areas with four major league sports teams" to "United States metropolitan areas with all four major league sports teams"
* November 16 from "United States metropolitan areas with all four major league sports teams" to "United States metropolitan areas with teams in all major pro sports leagues"
So...  What does everybody think is the best title for this article, and why?  It could be the current name, a former name, or a different name.  Post 'em up, folks.  (Pinging  but all are encouraged to participate.) — Mudwater (Talk) 22:52, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I mostly changed to the current name because the previous one was ungrammatical as there's more than fours major league sports teams. It was just a mess of a title. The pre-July 2 title had been in place for many years, but switching to "metropolitan area" makes sense as a) some teams are in nearby suburbs, not the main city, and b) the leagues themselves care more about media markets than actual city. I think the current title does the best to describe the article contents I can think of, but I'm not wedded to it, and am willing to consider other possibilities. oknazevad (talk) 02:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Concur. I'd just add a hyphen to the compound adjective: "U.S. cities with teams from four major-league sports". PRRfan (talk) 04:14, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Sooo are we going back to cities instead of metropolitan areas? I only did so because of accuracy, but I'm willing to change it back to cities as the metro area media market is mostly used by the sports industry. Also I believe its simpler for the table. We can just add another parameter for metro area/media market next to the city. Banan14kab (talk) 06:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of this article 

message: The analysis section of this article is messy and filled with non-notable information. Fun facts about things like which high-population areas don't have teams don't fall under WP:SIGCOV, at least with the current citations. Even if that was fixed, the article still has too many subsections. Five of them regard population, and an additional two are about cities with two teams in the same league.
What should be done with this section? Right now, it feels like the best thing to do is scrap it entirely but if there's a good way to improve it I haven't thought of, I'd like to hear it. SolarSnail (talk) 19:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason for covering the cities with large populations that don't have teams in all four leagues is simply that four-sport status is typically only found in the largest metro areas (and two teams in each league is found only in the two largest metro areas), so the material should remain, though reorganizing it to reduce the choppy overuse of headers is not a bad idea. oknazevad (talk) 11:34, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
