Various sections in this article may refer to either a team's total National Football League championships, or their total Super Bowl championships. Please remember that these values are different because the NFL's first season was held in 1920, several decades before Super Bowl I was played at the end of the 1966 regular season. Thank you. |

In the first paragraph there is an opinion, being "the highest professional level of American football in the world.". This is clearly just someone's opinion and due to the competition not being open to any other countries, I don't see how this claim can be made. John arneVN ( talk) 02:29, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: All articles except main article and timeline article moved.. Upon review, there is general support for almost all of these moves, many contingent on not moving the main article, and some contingent on not moving the timeline article. Therefore, I believe sufficient consensus has been established based on the discussion below for the movement of all articles as proposed except for the main National Football League article, and the Timeline of the National Football League article.

– In response to the ongoing move discussion on the NBA page, I request this set of page moves in order to meet WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. ScarletViolet ( talk • contribs) 12:39, 3 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. JML1148 ( talk | contribs) 10:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
...in view of arguments that the full name is used in professional and academic publications). The full "National Football League" expansion can be seen on The New York Times, for example. For the others, where NFL is part of a longer descriptive title, the WP:CONCISE policy seems more applicable. The desciptive titles aren't ambiguous, as they are American football specific. There are other longstanding examples such as NFL playoffs, NFL preseason, NFL lockout and the individual seasons ( 2023 NFL season), and drafts ( 2023 NFL draft) where the meaning is clear, and the primary topic of NFL is anyways the football league.— Bagumba ( talk) 15:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
Central Intelligence Agency, but CIA activities in Vietnam and List of CIA station chiefs, not Central Intelligence Agency activities in Vietnam or List of Central Intelligence Agency station chiefs
Federal Bureau of Investigation, but FBI files on Elvis Presley and FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives, not Federal Bureau of Investigation files on Elvis Presley and Federal Bureau of Investigation Ten Most Wanted Fugitives
... and adds needless ambiguity: By the same token, "National Football League" is also ambiguous, see the others at National Football League (disambiguation).— Bagumba ( talk) 15:39, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

So, should we split the NFL teams section into it's own article? PlaneCrashKing1264 ( talk) 16:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
— Bagumba ( talk) 14:40, 5 March 2024 (UTC)...editors are encouraged to work on further developing the parent article first, locating coverage that applies to both the main topic and the subtopic. Through this process, it may become evident that subtopics or groups of subtopics can demonstrate their own notability, and thus can be split off into their own article.
