Elitserien (disambiguation) → Elitserien – "Elitserien" without "(disambiguation)" is now a redirect to Swedish Hockey League. SHL has been around for a year now, it changed names from "Elitserien" after the 2012/2013 season. The disambiguation page should now have the unaltered name to also point to all the other sports leagues in Sweden which are still using the name "Elitserien". The top ice hockey league used to be the most well known by this name, but it will be less so as the time goes by. --Relisted. ^walk victor falk^talk 01:32, 8 April 2014 (UTC)Bandy boy (talk) 01:12, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the face of it this seems like a sensible move, sooner or later. However a lot of links will need fixing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Elitserien In ictu oculi (talk) 07:06, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- The number of links to be fixed should not discourage you from making a decission, I think. I am ready to fix links. Bandy boy (talk) 01:01, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Since the title is only a redirect now, there is nothing to stop you from fixing the links right away. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:58, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - True. :-) Bandy boy (talk) 18:26, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose By far most people searching that term will still be looking for the hockey league. A hat note should simply be put at the top of the page indicating that it redirects there and that for other uses see the disambiguation page. -DJSasso (talk) 00:02, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: there is a hat note there as it is. The move will be executed sooner or later, but I think it is time for it now. What makes you think most people are still looking for the hockey league? Bandy boy (talk) 21:09, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support Historically, there was a football league that was about as well-known as the hockey one. As it is no longer the official name of neither the hockey nor the football league, I think elitserien should be the dab. ^walk victor falk^talk 02:51, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support – a year after the rebranding, the term seems ambiguous enough that the SHL should give up the primarytopic status. Dicklyon (talk) 04:57, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
