– (Relisted with modification.) Rationale: to bring about naming uniformity similar to existing naming pattern as established in Category:Water polo at the 2008 Summer Olympics and Category:Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics. HandsomeFella (talk) 07:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. The naming should be as uniform as possible and this seems a very reasonable proposal. Thanks for making the modification. Jenks24 (talk) 12:28, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 2[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. 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 move request was: pages all moved per request. - GTBacchus(talk) 04:35, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]



– (Relisted.) Move to names in analogy with Water polo at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's team rosters, Water polo at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's team rosters, Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics – Men's team rosters, Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics – Women's team rosters, etc. It has previously been said that, in the volleyball context, the word "squad" is preferred over "team roster", but the source in the Volleyball at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Men's squads page indicates otherwise. If the request goes through, move requests for pages from earlier Olympiads will follow to create consistency. HandsomeFella (talk) 18:08, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, basically per nom. Seems to be common practice to use "team rosters", not "squads" for volleyball, so I agree that's what we should use. If this goes through all similar articles could be done uncontroversially (i.e. without going through RM). Jenks24 (talk) 19:43, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
