Comment ā It appears that this page may have been moved prematurely.
University of Nevada is a disambiguation page, although there is some discussion on
talk:University of Nevada that the older university in Reno should be the primary topic. But, currently it seems Vegaswikian makes a good point. No problem with
Boise State ā the University is PT.

If there was nothing stopping the page from being moved in the first place, why have a discussion at all?ā

Controversial or potentially controversial moves should be discussed first. Given the two "U of Nevadas", err on the conservative side and assume this might be controversial.

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.

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
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.
