- Category:Detroit Titans football to Category:Detroit Mercy Titans football – C2B/C2D. The university now athletically goes by "Detroit Mercy" instead of just "Detroit" and all articles were already moved by other editors some time ago. Just wanted to get the categories in line as well. SportsGuy789 (talk) 15:58, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

- Oppose moves of football-specific categories; support all others. The University of Detroit Mercy, in its current form, has never sponsored football. The University of Detroit did have a football team, but dropped the sport after the 1964 season—more than a quarter-century before the 1990 merger that created the current UDM. There's precedent for keeping the historic names of defunct football programs in category names—see Category:Nebraska–Omaha Mavericks football under Category:Omaha Mavericks; the University of Nebraska Omaha dropped football before it rebranded its athletic program as "Omaha". — Dale Arnett (talk) 18:50, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- Additional comment: The main page for the football program has never been moved; it's still at Detroit Titans football. — Dale Arnett (talk) 04:06, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose moves of football-specific categories. The football program was disbanded in the mid 1960s prior to the merger which resulted in the creation of Detroit Mercy. The football program was known as the "Detroit Titans", never as the "Detroit Mercy Titans." Cbl62 (talk) 21:33, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
