An excellent source

[edit]

I found a good source to fill in all the blanks on these tourney articles: http://www.sportsstats.com/ACC/standings/index.html Take a look. Wrad 16:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The link above appears to dead. Hear is a great link from the official ACC website that has all the information for the tournaments held prior to 2000. The link is: http://www.theacc.com/sports/m-baskbl/archive/110299aap.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theel6297 (talkcontribs) 03:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should merge

[edit]

  checkY Merger complete.

The result was merge into ACC Men's Basketball Tournament. -- DarkCrowCaw 12:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This page ought to be merged with List of Atlantic Coast Conference men's basketball tournament champions - the info on the two pages is 95% duplicative. This article's title is more consistent with other NCAA Conference Basketball Pages. Rikster2 (talk) 13:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At present, the list is fairly duplicative, but ideally the list would be removed from the main article and the main article expanded. With as much history as thin event has, there should be more than enough information out there to have both a full article and a list of champions.

Then expand the article and keep the list intact as a part of it. There is zero need for this list when every other NCAA conference tournament article has both the prose and the list of champions, results and MVPs Rikster2 (talk) 00:10, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

– These are neither official nor proper nor even particularly common names for these tournaments, in cases I've checked. They seldom appear in sources, capped or not, but show up now and then among quite a variety of variations on what to call the tournaments, which are generally descriptive. Editors have asked that all sports to treated consistently on this issue, but about two-thirds are basketball, and most of the rest are soccer, ice hockey, and volley; there may be a few baseball, rugby, and other sports. The ones listed here represent the longer list at the discussion at WT:WikiProject College Basketball#Over-capitalization (and please do review that discussion before commenting here). Please say if you see any that are treated by sources as proper names, otherwise the proposal is to downcase to "men's <sport> tournament" and "women's <sport> tournament" generally. Whatever the consensus we arrive at here, a bot will be enlisted to do the moves (about 3200 articles, max), and I'll do the cleanup with JWB. I realize there may be other over-capitalized patterns in sports, but this is a big enough group to consider for now. The relevant wikiprojects (for basketball, soccer, volleyball, and ice hockey, as well as MOS) have been notified at the other discussion, and I will notify them again after the multi-RM goes live; feel free to notify other relevant wikiprojects.

Note: The "XXX Men's Basketball Tournament" articles without a year were downcased a while ago, based on the linked discussion at that time. The ACC one that this discussion is at was the only one to get any feedback, and that's why the discussion is here. As an example of the most prominent one, NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament was downcased a week ago, on 16 August, without objection; note that the 2006 book about it, How March Became Madness never uses this descriptive phrase, capped or otherwise.

Survey

[edit]
Nor is the lowercase version common enough to show up in ngrams]. Randy Kryn (talk) 16:58, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, as I pointed out already with the case-insensitive n-gram search. Because it just one of many descriptive forms, not a name, proper or otherwise. The few that do show up in book n-grams, NCAA and Division I, are more often lowercase. Dicklyon (talk) 01:28, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds conclusive. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:33, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given this clear consensus, I will seek bot help to do the moves now. Dicklyon (talk) 06:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
