The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus reflects a clear interest in moving the article to List of British and Irish varsity matches, instead of the originally proposed title. (closed by non-admin page mover) EggRoll97 (talk)  03:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Varsity match →  – The word "varsity" refers to sports teams, matches, or competitions relating to a university according to its dictionary definition (see Oxford, Cambridge, Dictionary.com, and Collins), with North American English generally using the word to refer to teams and British English generally using the term to refer to a match or competition. As the page "Varsity team" best addresses this definition it should be moved to "Varsity" per Wikipedia:Primary topics with respect to usage, and also because it talks about varsity outside of reference to a team. The page currently called "Varsity" is a disambiguation page and and relates to secondary, non-dictionary definitions of the word, this would be best moved to "Varsity (disambiguation)". In addition the page "Varsity match" doesn't describe, anywhere near in depth what this are, just lists them across UK and Ireland, this page should therefore be moved to "List of British and Irish varsities" in line with other list articles as it better describes the page.

text: *:I don't disagree, and I leave it to others as to what phrasing for a new article they prefer, but plainly keeping "Varsity match" as a UK-only article is a non-starter.   Ravenswing      17:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

text: Oppose as proposed, as the suggested title doesn't work in British English, but support 's alternative suggestion of a move to List of British and Irish varsity matches. Robminchin (talk) 23:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
