Talk:Blues (Super Rugby)

message: IS that a)needed or b)found in an encyclopedia.?
Name change
This article's name really needs to be changed to the Blues, as the team ceased to be known as the "Auckland Blues" a number of years ago. Unfortunately I don't know how to do it, can someone help? Eastpaw
Has a template fuckXX it all up? Apparently all older edits look that bad as well (with all the text in the sidebar, and the main space empty), which I consider unlikely. MadMaxDog 10:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS FOR MOVES, per discussion below.  The discussion does not address the specific requests for Chiefs, Highlanders and Hurricanes in a way sufficient to determine consensus.  Those supporting those moves should probably take those discussions to the individual pages. -GTBacchus(talk) 21:26, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

* Oppose all these moves. IMO the rugby teams are not the primary use of these names, e.g. "Blues", that's definitely the music style. Markussep 15:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All the other ones are actually redirects. Why can't they be moved in a similar manner to the way the Crusaders article was?--HamedogTalk|@ 15:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm very surprised that "Crusaders" is about a rugby team, and not a redirect to "Crusade". Anyone outside New-Zealand who reads "Crusaders" will think of the medieval religious wars, I think.Markussep 18:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think people in Australia, South Africa, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and to a lesser extent, the UK, Ireland, Argenitina, France and Italy will think of the rugby team.--HamedogTalk|@ 04:12, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Markussep, I gurantee anyone in Oceania typing in Crusaders would be looking for the rugby team, as would a lot of people in UK/Ireland/France and so on. The current set up for Crusaders does  no harm at all to people looking for other uses. Cvene64 07:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Are you opposed or neutral to the Highlanders and Chiefs moves then? These redirect to a disambiguation page, similar to the Crusaders page once did before being replaced by the rugby article. These articles are in the same boat as the Hurricanes, so why not move them?--HamedogTalk|@ 07:57, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

text: What about Highlanders? Your oppose vote seems based on your decision of the Blues and Hurricanes article. Why can't the Chiefs, Hurricanes and Highlanders articles be moved and have a notice similar to the Crusaders article?--HamedogTalk|@ 09:26, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the Highlanders going to the disambiguation page works fine for me. Like I said i don't know about Chiefs. However the only ones i feel strongly about are Hurricanes and Blues, they should definitely not be moved. - Shudda talk 21:48, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In addition, I don't think that getting rid of "ugly brackets" is sufficient grounds for such a contentious move. The only valid reason I can see for such a move is if something is the primary usage or meaning for such a term, but I do not think you have met the burden of proof on this issue. --SigPig 21:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of people will be looking for Crusaders - look at their success over the years. Probably one of the world's most successful sporting teams in the last 10 years and probably rugby's most successful team. That's my evidence for why people will be looking for it.--HamedogTalk|@ 03:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I would strongly recommend the "players in/out" section gets moved to page 2012 Blues (rugby union) season. That way a permanent history of it is kept and it's not overwritten every season by the player movements for the current season. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 07:51, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
