Women's pro racquetball has undergone another change of name, which has happened in the past (it's actually had a few names as indicated in this article). The Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) is now the organization for women's pro racquetball, not the WPRO. I'd like to change this article to reflect this change, but that likely means a change of article title. Does that seem appropriate? Thanks. --Trb333 (talk) 13:17, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source to confirm that this is the same organization? The WPRO website says nothing about a change of name. If the LPRT is something new, it should have its own article, if and when it has received enough independent comment to be notable. JohnCD (talk) 16:03, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a different organization, but in the WPRO article I've listed past rankings from all the previous women's pro racquetball organizations, which had different names; that is indicated under the "History" section of this article. The WPRO name was only around from 2005. What I want to do is have historical continuity with those previous organizations - there's never been more than one - and I'm wondering how to best do that. Having a different article for each name change seems needless. --Trb333 (talk) 18:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not clear whether these organizations are competing or co-operating. How about changing the name of the article to just "Women's professional racquetball"? Then you could have one continuous narrative, and provide redirects to the relevant sections of it from the names of the different organizations. JohnCD (talk) 22:16, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The organizations aren't competing as they are in operation at different times. Your suggestion, which I'd also thought of, to just have it be 'Women's professional racquetball' might be best way to go. --Trb333 (talk) 16:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
