London UnitedLondon United Basketball – not primary topic, London United Busways is arguably just as notable a topic. This page should be set up as a disambiguation page with Basketball, Busways and London United Tramways listed. Uncorneast (talk) 07:05, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support The pageview tool shows that the basketball team is definitely not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "London United". For example on the 28th of March received 52 views, London United Tramways received 5 and London United (the basketball team) received just 3. On the 25th of March it received zero views compared with 30 for London United Busways and 4 for London United Tramways. AusLondonder (talk) 23:26, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Is the team actually called London United Basketball since if not we would need to use something like London United (basketball)? In case anyone is wondering I am aware of WP:NATURAL but that says not to use orscure of made up names which would apply if basketball is not part of the teams' name.--64.229.167.158 (talk) 20:59, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support only if it is moved to the parenthetical title London United (basketball), per the IP 64.229.167.158's rationale, similar to the Texas Rangers (baseball) article. Zzyzx11 (talk) 03:37, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Before a series of cut-and-paste moves, this article was actually about the bus company, and given the lack of interest in the basketball team it's clearly not reasonable to claim that the latter is the primary topic just because their land-grab of the title wasn't noticed/challenged at the time. ‑ Iridescent 09:16, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
