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. Reliable data is required.

The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
If we did that, we would probably have others who would argue that the move should then be reverted per
WP:PRECISE. The proposed option is a more
WP:NATURALDAB option.

But it is naturally disambiguating the article from a concept that doesn't exist. —

Support. The current name is too generic. It doesn't give any idea that this is only about sports.

The intro sentence says "sports" and "games", so also games. (and it's carrying a game-stub) This used to be WPCHESS reflecting the original version of the article, that had emphasis on chess, so games. --

Oppose the proposed move because the proposed title strongly implies there is a larger coherent encyclopedic concept of the "rest of the world" of which this article is a subset. Support a move to a title with a parenthetical disambiguator like that suggested by
User:Lugnuts above for the reasons given by other users. What do others
think? —

I also fail to see what the actual confusion is too. The article has existed since 2003 and is only now an issue? What other primary use(s) of "Rest of the world" are there? If there are others outside of sport, they can be handled by a hatnote/dab page. LugnutsDick Laurent is dead 16:27, 22 August 2015 (UTC)reply
I agree but gratuitous addition of text in titles to "disambiguate" is a growing fad. I suppose I'm getting into the spirit, too. —
AjaxSmack 16:35, 22 August 2015 (UTC)reply
This is not just for disambiguation, this is for
WP:PRECISION, since the current title is insufficient to describe the topic accurately. And the term "rest of the world" actually is used in the real world in contexts other than sports and games. --

"Rest of the world" is simply far too generic to be about sports, games, or any other singular field of interest. If anything, "rest of the world" should be either a disambiguation page, or an article about the view of one geographical or ethnic entity towards, you know, all the others in the world.

Support. Happened on this discussion purely by chance, but the need for change seems obvious.
