Talk:New Zealand national rugby union team/Archive 7

118:. An interesting discussion, and the supporters have a more than reasonable argument, but WP:UCN is not the be-all and end-all and in this case the consensus is that consistency, one of out naming criterion, is of more importance. Whether the proposed title meets several of the other criteria has been debated, but I don't see that either 'side' has a more correct interpretation, merely subjective opinions. In cases where both interpretations of policy can arguably be called correct, the numbers on each side of the argument carries a lot more weight than usual and the opposers have a clear numerical majority. 607:- Only if its called "The All Blacks" as this is a wiki, not a rugby database so the term "All Blacks" can mean many things..we could give other teams their proper names in the future too but the 3 other common names, the wallabies, pumas and the Springboks, they share with animals and thy should get first 'dibs' on the name...the brave blossoms (prev: cherry blossoms) is more of a recent name, so not quite 'common', this also includes the Welsh Dragons and The Ikale Tahi... "Manu Samoa" is the common name for the Samoa team and "The Flying Fijians" is the common name for the fiji team....-- 2916: 2516: 2787:, who have also only had head coaches from their respective countries. having the flags adds a visual element that makes it not only visually pleasing but also easier for readers to identify coaches nationalities easily and quickly. As an aside, if a coach of a different nationality is ever appointed, the flags from previous coaches would already be in place which cuts down the work to do to update the new-nationality coach! Let me know what you think, -- 1184: 31: 2853: 350:), but I can not think of another national Rugby Union team name where the sources would support a move from the descriptive names currently used as article titles. I think that it could be argued that some other NZ teams may meet the criteria (but personally I doubt it), but that is a question for the talk pages of those team's talk pages and the evidence of a survey of 513:

should dictate how it is used (by that I mean whether further explanation is required). So I would, in most cases, make it clear that the All Blacks are the New Zealand team, but there is a wikilink there, so it may not be required in all contexts. But keeping the current name does not actually make a huge difference here, as many editors and people are just linking to

1373:

both in this sport and others, other criteria appear to me to be on a par. I still don't see why the inconsistent name should be used - a redirect exists for those that have heard of "All Blacks" so there is no difficulty introduced in finding the article and the redirect makes it plain who the team represent.

1327:" -- it mentions the name "New Zealand" once but not for the team but the country "A break in New Zealand has been a bit of a busman's holiday for Ireland rugby coach Joe Schmidt." -- So if these first three reliable sources are any indication of the usage, your article is not representative of all articles. -- 691:. The the All Blacks website also does not support your contention because it states in the opening sentence "With a history extending back almost 130 years, New Zealand's national rugby team, the All Blacks..." note that "national rugby team" has no capitals so is a description of the name "All Blacks". -- 2501:

Tricky one. Yes, the team/country is now called Zimbabwe, but if NZ have only ever played the team under their old name Rhodesia, then that's the name that should be in the table. If NZ had also played Zimbabwe, I'd have suggested putting "Rhodesia/Zimbabwe" in the table to cover both, but if NZ have

1343:

I choose the New York Times because I was curious to see what the major usage was in a reliable source not strongly associated with rugby. I was actually slightly surprised that "All Blacks" was used that much by the NYT and if anything would say this provides as much evidence for it being the common

1073:

automatically redirects here for anyone searching using that term and they are unlikely to be confused when "New Zealand national rugby union team" pops up instead. It keeps it consistent with other national teams, which isn't a bad thing. Also I don't think we should automatically assume everyone is

927:

but I think that is a misuse of that guideline as All Blacks is not a technical name for a technical subject (if anything "New Zealand national rugby union team" is a technical description) and besides JARGON is part of the MOS (content) and not part of the AT Policy (naming) -- if your argument held

810:

I have presented evidence above from the NZRU website that "All Blacks" is the name of the team. The name of the national union is the New Zealand Rugby Union. The NZRU are invited to send a team to represent the union in test matches against other unions (both national and club) they field different

448:

with that name – when that happened no one jumped to ask why it was called such, nor was there an avalanche of questions regarding consistency in national sports team's names. I'm not sure whether many other national teams have a "nickname" (for want of a better term) as the article name, but I don't

372:

Another thing to remember is that other representative teams that have nicknames (and I don't think that's an accurate description but we'll go with it) encounter a different problem. For example Springboks, Wallabies, Proteas, Kiwis, Kangaroos, Waratahs – these are all named after animals or flowers

includes any New Zealand results against Rhodesia. While I don't doubt the matches took place, I'd say NZ did not accord the games Test Match status. So, there may be a case for removing Rhodesia from the table altogether - but, if consensus deems these 2nd XV games be included, then I'd support the

1245:

But no one has yet proved that "All Blacks" is the overriding common name for the team. At the World Cup, the IRB (and associated broadcasters) list New Zealand's matches as "New Zealand vs Fooland" (or vice-versa). The term "All Blacks" might come up in promotional material to break up the monotony

725:

The links you have provided are to are member unions not teams. Indeed the second link states "member unions" in the first section and then names the team All Blacks in the news section (lower down the page). Those links do not state that the official name is "New Zealand national rugby union team".

497:

such as recognizability, precision and consistency are given more weight when it comes to national sporting teams. However, consensus can of course change. But I'm not sure that the talk page of one article that follows this wide-reaching convention is the place to determine that change, even though

283:

It's not a nickname, and can't be confused with other topics -- it's a trademarked name (in fact other teams and organisations that call themselves All Blacks can and have been taken to court). The Brazil name is a poor comparison, because they're most commonly known as Brazil (in English at least).

1488:

and this says 1457 points. Like you said it's out of date now regardless, but I think we'll just wait and see what happens once all those pages get updated. Hopefully they all agree after that! Regardless though, the addition of references always helps. Also just a heads up, signing with ~~~~ after

1372:

Reviewing those criteria, the current name meets all but the conciseness one, the "All Blacks" name fails consistency, so is no better objectively, The current name is likely to be more recognizable to those that are not familiar with the sport due to the consistency with other representative teams

429:

Will this then be the first national team of any sport to use a nickname for its article title? I'm sure other team's nicknames are trademarked as well. If this move is unprecedented, I suspect it will introduce the thin end of a situation in which similar move discussions start popping up all over

has been changing Rhodesia in the records to Zimbabwe. My reasoning for retaining Rhodesia in there is for historical context as every time the All Blacks have played them, it has been as Rhodesia so it makes sense to use the latest iteration that they played. If zimbabwe ever play NZ, then we can

512:

I see what you're trying to say, but this is something that needs to be considered all the time anyway. Many people don't know what rugby union is, or where New Zealand is, but we don't need to explain what these things are every time we mention them. I think the context in which a subject is used

1287:

Of course I used All Black as the search term so it may be slightly weighted, but anywho this is an unscientific experiment as common name has been mentioned a few times as a reason to change, but not much evidence presented (here at least, I haven't looked through the old links). I counted ten

2414:

Two reasons: one is that the All Blacks play many more Tests per year than they used to. Another is that this is the encyclopaedia that anyone can edit, and so random editors are much more likely to add material on the match that happened last week than on the 1984 tour of Fiji! I agree it's a

It's my personal opinion that the first time the New Zealand national rugby union team are mentioned in any Knowledge article, they should be identified (and, of course, wiki-linked) as such for the significant portion of readers who won't be familiar with the connotations of the nickname 'All

What is your evidence, based on the AT policy, that a descriptive title is more immediately understood and should therefore be used? What is your evidence that "All Blacks" is a just a nickname and not the official team name? Why do you recommend ignoring the arguments presented in

Right now, it states that Dan Carter has scored 1457 points and cites the All Blacks website. However when I edited this page to make it 1455, I also got my number from the All Blacks website. For some reason, there are two different pages that list two different statistics.

They are very clearly mostly of European ancestry, and Black is a term associated with those of African Ancestry. Take note that this group also performs the Haka, a traditionally Native New Zealander cultural aspect just another example of Cultural Appropriation.
