Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced.

Misplaced Pages entry for FIFA World Cup
I'm wondering why it's called FIFA World Cup? I was looking for stats on the men's world cup hosts and couldn't find the article for men's world cup, just the general FIFA World Cup. But it's confusing cos there is a separate Women's World Cup wiki entry. They're both good quality imo, just the naming of the titles is kinda confusing. What do others think? I'm not a feminist or anything lol I just don't get why it's not just called Men's world cup? If that's what people are interesting in finding info about, they would search that right? KJL2835 (talk) 10:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
That's something you'd have to ask FIFA. They refer to the tournaments as the FIFA World Cup and the FIFA Women's World Cup, so we do too. Hope that helps. – PeeJay11:07, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Didn't know where else to post this but many of the links to FIFA match reports from past tournaments seem to redirect to Fifa's homepage. From what I can see Fifa has moved and updated the pages. Hundreds of links are now potentially useless. Firestar47 (talk) 18:35, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Oppose I'm always one for equality, but even just looking at the official names for the tournament the men's tournament is "FIFA World Cup" while the women's official name is "FIFA Women's World Cup", so the Consistent argument doesn't hold as the pages are currently titled matching their official names. If it was FIFA World Cup (women), then the Consistency argument would hold, but it's not the official name. WP:RECENCY also holds here. During an active women's world cup, it's fairly reasonable to assume that discussions about a current tournament is the women's one, given its the active one. However, during a non-active time, it is more likely to be referred as a women's world cup, when not specifically obvious (ie. during a discussion on women's football, the WWC is usually assumed) RedPatch (talk) 10:46, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
is "FIFA World Cup" while the women's official name is "FIFA Women's World Cup", so the Consistent argument doesn't hold as the pages are currently titled matching their official namesWP:OFFICIALNAMES; we don't title our articles based on official names, so which one of them is the official name isn't relevant to assessing the primary topic and WP:CRITERIA. BilledMammal (talk) 10:53, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME of the tournament. The tournament featuring men's sides is more commonly called the World Cup, and the tournament featuring women's sides is more commonly called the Women's World Cup. It's a clear example of male as norm, but there is a clear primary topic for the term "World Cup" and the proposed change feels like a case of recentism. A hatnote should suffice to clear up any confusion. Jay eyem (talk) 19:41, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose - however this may be reconsidered in the future in the case of the women's variety continuing to have more popularity as it is currently going. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 16:49, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose - As much as anyone might not like it, the men's tournament is not called the FIFA Men's World Cup. – PeeJay17:05, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose as above, this is neither official or common name. When you say 'World Cup' in a soccer context, people think about this. The women's tournament does not compare. GiantSnowman17:23, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
I mean, I typed in "World Cup" today looking for the currently ongoing World Cup (not this topic) and found it immediately... SportingFlyerT·C22:10, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose, It is clearly stated that the official international tournament as "FIFA World Cup" for the senior's men's team, plus this IS the primary topic.
Strong oppose, until such a name change is made by FIFA, Misplaced Pages has to reflect the facts and the current official name. Wiki should not be used as a platform to provide pressure or advocacy for certain changes. Anvib (talk) 15:39, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
The inclusion of 'men's' in the link is simply for clarity purposes (in this case to avoid confusion with the women's tournament), this does not represent the official name of the tournament. For now, that argument is infufficient, so my opinion is 'oppose'Lawrence 979 (talk) 22:00, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Oppose (for now) - At this point in time, the competition is usually only referred to by FIFA as simply 'FIFA World Cup', and this differs to the women's world cup. Unless FIFA change this and start referring to the competition as 'men's world cup', the move should not go ahead at this point in time. Lawrence 979 (talk) 21:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Strong support Just because FIFA and others are still, bluntly, misogynistic, does not mean that Misplaced Pages should be. Remember, WP rules are advice only, amenable to change. I confess that I find it disturbing that I am apparently the only person to support this! Ldm1954 (talk) 12:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
You're the only one because the proposal is, frankly, ludicrous. The tournament is not called the FIFA Men’s World Cup, and Misplaced Pages reflects reality the way it is, not the way you wish it were. – PeeJay13:56, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Fifa world cup isn’t just a competition between the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, but also for women.
The women page is called "fifa womens world cup" VS "fifa world cup". Yes these two cups have diffent history and happend at different times so it would be correct to have two different pages, but if it’s a page about fifa world cup in general and it’s history it would be innacurate to say it’s just a competition between men. 2A01:799:1C23:1B00:759B:587C:E23F:B52D (talk) 18:48, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
