Boise State–Nevada rivalryBoise State–Nevada football rivalry – This page only talks about football. 71.211.193.144 (talk) 09:23, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved this article to Boise State–Nevada football rivalry in accordance with naming conventions for college football rivalries. Jweiss11 (talk) 04:10, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This move was not premature nor remotely controversial. The move that was requested and that I executed was simply to add the word "football" to the article title. Whether "Nevada" needs disambiguation is another issue. However, the article as named is in keeping with naming conventions for American college sports, which I've been working on here for years. In the context of college sports, "Nevada" refers to the teams of the school in Reno. The teams of the school in Las Vegas are "UNLV". There's no ambiguity here worthy of further management. End of discussion. Jweiss11 (talk) 05:00, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Twice you have moved this article, as an involved editor, without properly following the WP:RM/CI instructions. To deny that it's even "remotely controversial" is a slap at Vegaswikian, who seems to have made an at least somewhat valid point. I suspect that it's not entirely uncontroversial in southern Nevada.

Regarding the move

[edit]

No slaps in the face were intended, but this name change was not remotely controversial. Suspicion of such controversy seems to be due entirely to unfamiliarity with the subject and over-arching naming conventions regarding college sports. It should have never been opened up as a requested move. Should have just been done. Jweiss11 (talk) 01:59, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
