Whoever is making edits to the PSL Teams wiki pages seems like he or she has NO grasp of the English language. "Representing the city Lahore"? Who in the hell writes like this? The introduction should read:
Islamabad United (Urdu: ) is a Pakistani professional cricket club based in Islamabad, Capital Territory, Pakistan that competes in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Islamabad United is one of the original 5 PSL clubs. The team is coached by (Coach Name) and owned by (Company name). The team plays their home matches at Pindi Stadium in neighbouring Rawalpindi.
Is that really hard?
Please don't. MOS:BODY says "Very short or very long sections and subsections in an article look cluttered and inhibit the flow of the prose." That's the MOS. Please keep things together (and references) until there is actually something to write about. When they actually play some cricket there might be.

The result of the move request was: moved. Number 5 7 11:56, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
Islamabad United (cricket) → Islamabad United – Islamabad United (the cricket team/franchise) is the primary and notable topic by far, therefore the article title does not need disambiguation and it should just be Islamabad United for ease of navigation and use. A header note can be added to the top of the article indicating readers to the (lesser known) Islamabad United (football) club if necessary. Previously Islamabd United redirected to Islamabad United (cricket) before someone made it disambiguation page, but the disambiguation is unnecessary and overkill. – PSL Fan ( talk) 01:37, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
Whilst doing a search for typos in articles I noticed that the article " Islamabad United in 2016" contains a large portion of text that is identical to a previous version of the subsection 2016 Pakistan Super League from the Islamabad United article. While the other article has some unique content, I am wondering if it would be sensible to merge the two, as this unique information could also be incorporated into the Islamabad United article, as its own section. I am by no means an expert on this topic (all I know about cricket is that people hit balls with sticks), but to me it seems redundant to have a separate article on this team just for a specific year, when this content is already in the main article. I won't request a merge for this page as I could very well be wrong, but I'll put up a {{Merge to}} template on the Islamabad United in 2016 article, and a {{mergefrom}} template on this article.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Islamabad United's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
