The result of the move request was: The second request, Maine Mariners → Maine Mariners (AHL), has a consensus to move, while the first has no consensus. Therefore the second move will take place, and a disambiguation page will reside at the base name. If someone wants to make a stronger case to gain consensus for the ECHL club's move in the future, they can do so via a new RM. — Amakuru ( talk) 11:10, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
– Since the ECHL team is currently playing, it has become the primary topic for the team name of "Maine Mariners". It is more likely that readers searching for Maine Mariners are looking for information on the current ECHL team, rather than on the defunct AHL team which hasn't played since 1992.

A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term.The AHL team was around for far longer (15 years vs the current version with 3) and was a higher-level team then the current. The current precedent held by the Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey is that lower-level teams are not as well known outside their locality, in historical significance, and typically have shorter lifespans; therefore, should not be treated as the primary topic. Sources for the older team were off-line, but they were well covered in their day and likely more-so then the current team. Yosemiter ( talk) 17:29, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
