Name in Greek?

edit

King of the Q: What is the official name of this competition in Greek? I cannot find any info about it by the English name in this article. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 08:52, 9 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

MarioGom: The article has references! Nevertheless, the Greek translation of the name derives from the English version (i.e., Men's Super Cup=Σούπερ Καπ Ανδρών) or the Greek equivalent of the word handball (i.e., Handball=Χειροσφαίριση). Thanks. King of the Q (talk) 03:18, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
King of the Q: So the official name is Σούπερ Καπ Ανδρών? It should be included in the lede. For example: Greek Men's Handball Super Cup (Greek: Σούπερ Καπ Ανδρών). Also, since it seems "Greek Men's Handball Super Cup" is not an official name, it's not used in sources, and not a direct translation, the title should probably be something like "Men's Handball Super Cup (Greece)". Is there any source in English about the Men's Super Cup? That would be useful to determine what the title in English Wikipedia should be. MarioGom (talk) 15:03, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
MarioGom: The references in Greek are too old as the only final was played back in 1999. Also, you will not find any English written sources as Greek is the main language in Greece. What I am trying to say is that for a low interest sport, like handball, it is difficult to find sources written in other languages. It makes sense if you think about it. For example, I would not expect to find articles about Portuguese handball written in the English language by Portuguese journalists. It is for national consumption and not international. Football and basketball is quite the opposite due to the sport popularity. For the title of this article I followed the style which is used in the Greek handball championship and cup articles. If you want to add on to the title the best Greek translation will be: Σούπερ Καπ Ανδρών Χειροσφαίρισης. Thanks. King of the Q (talk) 04:19, 11 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
