Fair use rationale for Image:Royal Bank Cup Logo.gif edit

 

Image:Royal Bank Cup Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:34, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Charlottetpwn Islanders edit

It should be noted that neither the "Charlottetown Islanders" nor the "Island Junior Hockey League" linked in this article have any relationship whatever to the team and the league appearing here except for coincidence of name and area of operation. The current team and league have no continuity of operation or ownership with the former ones, so the linkage is misleading. 2600:1004:B128:2216:8588:B31C:F525:5A45 (talk) 22:24, 5 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Royal Bank CupRBC Cup – The Royal Bank Cup was officially renamed the RBC Cup at least 10 years ago. Rkehler3 (talk) 21:17, 26 April 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 07:36, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • "RBC" still seems to stand for Royal Bank of Canada. Whatever the official name may be, we should go by evidence of the WP:COMMONNAME. Dekimasuよ! 23:31, 26 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Unless I am mistaken, the RBC Cup is just the short form name of the Royal Bank Cup. I don't have any particular opposition to either name. -DJSasso (talk) 11:16, 27 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • RBC Cup is just shorthand for2 Royal Bank Cup. DMighton (talk) 12:39, 28 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Hockey Canada (tournament owner) does refer to the tournament as the RBC Cup, so that does seem to be the official name of the tournament [1]. – Nurmsook! talk... 20:15, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Since we do not necessarily use official names, it is still necessary to base the title on evidence of usage in reliable secondary sources. Dekimasuよ! 21:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • Relisting comment: A couple of quick googles gave me six times more ghits for the porposed name ([2] [3], your results may vary) so there may be a case, but it's not made above. The nom's rationale is completely irrelevant in terms of our article naming policy, and no progress has been made since, with only primary sources being cited, so I can't close it as move.

Support: What's more, in your Google search of "Royal Bank Cup", look at how many results are actually showing RBC Cup instead of Royal Bank Cup. Whereas you don't have the opposte case in the search of "RBC Cup". The Google News results are even more telling, with 16,800 results for "RBC Cup" against 564 results for "Royal Bank Cup". I think WP:COMMONNAME is pretty clear here. – Nurmsook! talk... 16:42, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well put. And we don't have to wait the full relisting period if consensus to move becomes clear. But this is rather messy RM discussion, so best to give the other contributors above a chance to respond IMO. Andrewa (talk) 23:20, 4 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
The Royal Bank of Canada, the main sponsor and holder of the naming rights to the event and trophy, has been branding its organization as "RBC" for over a decade. Presumably, that is the reason why the name "RBC Cup" is now used by Hockey Canada and more commonly used by news sources. Furthermore, the Google search for "Royal Bank Cup" is skewed by results for websites mirroring Wikipedia; that should be taken in account when comparing the search result totals. I think the move to "RBC Cup" is the best way to go, but too, want consensus before any any changes made. Rkehler3 (talk) 16:37, 8 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

RBC is out as sponsor? edit

It looks like after all this discussion on the proper name, it will not matter, as it appears RBC is no longer sponsoring the event or trophy. I have not come across an official announcement, but the competition is now listed as the "National Junior A Championship" and RBC has been removed from Hockey Canada's list of Premier Sponsors. I wonder if there is another sponsorship deal quietly in the works (in which case we need to wait and then edit the article and change the title accordingly) or if we should go ahead and rename the article as "National Junior A Championship" for now?Rkehler3 (talk) 20:18, 29 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Maybe someone could shoot an email over to the CJHL to see if there will be a sponsorship announcement soon. The tournament went 25 years without a title sponsor before RBC stepped in... so you never know what they're going to do... DMighton (talk) 12:52, 30 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
