1904 Arizona Varsity football team → 1904 Arizona football team – per discussion at Talk:1899 Arizona Varisty football team – Jweiss11 (talk) 03:37, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

• @Jweiss11: Was it the only football team in Arizona in 1904? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:42, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

• @Anthony Appleyard: For the ambiguity reason you raise, I had previously advocated that the article should be named "1904 University of Arizona football team". However, it has been pointed out that we generally avoid using "University of" in naming similar articles. See, e.g., 1900 Washington football team, 1906 Florida football team, 1900 Montana football team. I am fine with either, but the current name is wrong. Cbl62 (talk) 05:57, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

• @Jweiss11 and Cbl62: That ambiguity may happen whenever a USA university has the same name as a state of the USA. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:02, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

True. Cbl62 (talk) 06:07, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard, it was the only team in 1904 in Arizona that could simply be referred to as "Arizona". Jweiss11 (talk) 06:03, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

• Support the proposed move. Cbl62 (talk) 06:09, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
