Originally held in 1976?

"The Games were originally held in 1976 by neurologist Sir Ludwig Guttmann" - is this correct? the following sentences go back in time. - marcavis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcavis (talk • contribs) 02:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CP Games → ? – This article has been discussed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Speedy#Opposed_nominations because its name doesn't match the Category:CPISRA Games hierarchy. The result of that discussion was a suggestion to rename the article and then let the categories follow suit. Obvious destinations would be :

CP Games and move the categories to match
Cerebral Palsy Games - a collective name that is more descriptive than the current one
CPISRA Games - the name of the current incarnation (currently a redirect)
International Cerebral Palsy Games - earlier name of the games until 1986

I don't have strong views, but given the current historical scope of the article I would tend towards a collective name like the first two, by analogy with the FA Cup or the IWAS World Games, which covers a single series of events that have variously been known as the World Wheelchair and Amputee Games, the Stoke Mandeville Wheelchair Games, the Stoke Mandeville Games and the World Wheelchair Games. It seems wrong to focus on the version of the games run by CPISRA alone. Le Deluge (talk) 18:15, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Cerebral Palsy Games. The acronyms are obscure, and since neither of them is dominant, it seems clearer to use a descriptive title per WP:NDESC. That also avoids tangles over anachronisms in institutional affiliation. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:20, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Cerebral Palsy Games: I'm also trying to change the article in Cerebral Palsy Games. I'm not so familiar with the guidelines for the article naming of the English Wikipedia. I have recently been active on this platform. Therefore I thought that I called the article CP Games, like IWAS Games. I'm sorry, my mistake.Cojote (talk) 20:00, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just to be clear @Cojote:, you haven't made a mistake. CP Games is not a bad name, we're just trying to find the "best" name - one that describes the scope of the article whilst being reasonably "obvious" to the most people. It's a bit of an art, there's no rule that works the whole time. But in general abbreviations are generally expanded because when you have millions of articles being read around the world, then it's rare that an abbreviation is unique unless it's really famous (like the FA Cup).Le Deluge (talk) 20:59, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support Cerebral Palsy Games: I've added 'International Cerebral Palsy Games' for the sake of completeness. But I don't think it makes sense to call this article. At most a link to this article page, at the time 'CP Games'. Otherwise, all the names are listed in the list, which appear useful. I would still be for Cerebral Palsy Games. This would comply with Wikipedia's guidelines for the item name. The other three suggestions would be links to Cerebral Palsy Games.Cojote (talk) 21:27, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
