Problem with redirect

I don't think that Soviet Class A2 should be redirected to this league. Pervaya Liga was the second highest league in the Soviet Union and there was another even lower league which was then the Soviet Class B. Vysshaya Liga or Russian Major League has been created in 1992 and then it became the second highest league in the Russian hockey, not in the Soviet Era. --Vnnen (talk) 16:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. It's still the legal successor to Class A2 was this, as it was run by the FHR from the soviet union until present...--Львівске (talk) 18:24, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Major League → Major Hockey League — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC) According to this its official English name is the Major Hockey League. There are 2 options in my opinion:[reply]

Move this page to Russian Major Hockey League or Major Hockey League (Russia) while at the same time Major Hockey League should be a disambig page with links to the Russian MHL and the Major League Hockey
Move this page to Major Hockey League and have an About or similar template at the top of the page linking to the Major League Hockey
What should be done? IJK_Principle (talk) 14:39, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
move to Major Hockey League (Russia) ; "major hockey league" repeats the same mistake that names the other one Minor Hockey League, being that it is a general term used for something already. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 04:15, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Question: If this is moved to Major Hockey League (Russia), where would Major Hockey League point to? If to this article, why not move it to the non-disambiguated title? If to another one, which one? Jafeluv (talk) 09:32, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
mistake? it's the official name, there is no mistake--Львівське (talk) 04:21, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's not the common usage of that term in English, so yes, it is a mistake. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 04:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
actually, it is, it's you that are confusing "Major Hockey League" and "a major hockey league"--Львівське (talk) 04:51, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I certainly don't think that a disambiguation page is appropriate. The Canadian league is clearly the primary useage of Major Hockey League in English prose, even though that may not be its official title. Better to deal with by inserting a hatnote on the article, redirecting to the Russian league. My personal preference for the Russian article would be Russian Major Hockey League, or even Vysshaya Hokkeinaya Liga as we need to disambiguate. Skinsmoke (talk) 20:20, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
How is the Canadian league "clearly the primary useage"? Nobody in Canada has even heard of this beer league!--Львівське (talk) 21:32, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that more people have heard of the beer league than the Russian league. 76.66.195.196 (talk) 02:49, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
People in the league itself probably even don't call it "Major League Hockey", just say "I play Senior A". I'm from Ontario and have never heard anyone, ever, refer to this league under its actual name. Only here did I know it existed.--Львівське (talk) 03:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The English name of the league is Major Hockey League, so it makes sense to move the article under that title. A hatnote to Major League Hockey will direct anyone looking for the Canadian league to the right place. Jafeluv (talk) 07:37, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Within Russia, "Major Hockey League" may well mean the biggest hockey league in Russia. To us in the outside world, there are many major (= big) hockey leagues. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:18, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Of course there are many major hockey leagues – just as there are many "national hockey leagues". However, a reader who types "Major Hockey League" in the search box is much more likely to be looking for this article since it's the actual name of the league in this case. Jafeluv (talk) 21:33, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
However, a person who types in "Major Hockey League" may be using standard English title case, which capitalizes the first letter in significant words, meaning they are searching for just what Anthony Appleyard is referring to. 76.66.193.119 (talk) 02:49, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Major League → Supreme Hockey League — Sorry for bringing this issue up once again but I think there's a solution that will please all parties: Since there's this conflict with the Major League Hockey, how about moving this page to Supreme Hockey League? According to this it's an alternative English name of the league.IJK_Principle (talk) 21:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 18:18, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Higher Hockey League → Supreme Hockey League – The English version of the official website (www.vhlru.ru/en/) uses the name Supreme Hockey League and the abbreviation SHL. The name Higher Hockey League was only used in an article on the FHR website and the article no longer exists. IJK_Principle (talk) 01:20, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
