Hi
Paul2520. Honestly, I wouldn't recognize Victor Hampton, but looking at the Flickr link, the picture seems to have been taken at a charity basketball game, rather than an official college basketball event. There were probably several people involved who were locally notable but not members of the South Carolina basketball team.

A national under-16 team that advances from a continental championship to a world championship will automatically become a national under-17 team. Many articles use both age categories in the title. And many don't. Compare these examples:
So I would propose that all under-17 articles be renamed to "(Country) men's/women's national under-16 and under-17 basketball team". Could you comment on that? Thanks.
(My proposal also applies to U18/U19 teams.)

There is one more thing to note: FIBA Americas and FIBA Oceania also organize under-15 championships. So if we take Australia for example, the name of the article should look something like this:
Australia men's national under-15, under-16 and under-17 basketball team
It's all the same team that plays three championships in three years. (The proposed title is quite long; it might be better to write it as ...under-15/16/17...) I've been waiting for someone to answer me for ten days. This debate needs to get going.
User:Pelmeen10, we recently talked about this topic, could you comment here as well?

I would've made the u-16 the article name then redirect u-17 to it. Only 16(?) teams qualify to the u-x world championship and for most countries the u-16 and the u-18 are the primary teams.

The article title needs to reflect the content too, so teams not participating in both competitions don't need the change, but those who do - yes, I support the rename. I haven't yet familiarized myself too much with the non-european teams. Have you checked all the articles and write it more clear what articles would you like to rename? In "current title → new title" format.
@
Howard the Duck: Your idea is romantic. If it was the only proposal, I would vote for it. But now, there is the proposal that I and Pelmeen10 support.
@
Pelmeen10: Do you think I should add those articles for renaming here to this discussion? Maybe there will be a hundred of them...
I assume the edits in question were related to the likely block evader? The
WP:EVASION policy says:
This does not mean that edits must be reverted just because they were made by a banned editor ... but the presumption in ambiguous cases should be to revert.
The page was edited heavily by a now-blocked user. I'm not seeking to have all their contributions reverted, but rather checking if anyone else agrees that the page has too many sections and is too long.

In
2024 FIBA Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournaments squads, how should college teams be labeled? Via their full athletic name (like "Utah Utes"), or the short name of the college (such as "Sacramento State"), or the long name of the college (such as "Ateneo de Manila University").
In infoboxes for players, we use the short name (so it's "Texas" for
Kevin Durant), and for coaches, it's still the short name (so
Rick Pitino coached for "Kentucky", "Louisville" and "Boston Celtics"). In soccer/football infoboxes, it seems they use the athletic name of the college (like "Indiana Hoosiers"). We do need guidance on this so that there'd be a standard.

TBH, I'd be okay with whatever is adopted/is the standard, it's just that we have to stick with it. AFAIK you guys had a discussion about this a few years back and I don't think any of the positions have changed since then and I'd be okay with whatever was agreed upon.

I have a follow-up question. Some people may have coached men's and women's college basketball teams in their career. How are these distinguished? What if a person coach both the men's and women's teams in some point?

I guess pro teams don't need this as they use full names.
College teams in the US have mostly the same names for men and women's teama tho, e.g. basketball teams of either sex in Duke are both the "Blue Devils".

I have another question: the "default" is for you to assume that someone coached a men's team; however it's not always clear cut.
Geno Auriemma apparently coached women's teams exclusively, and the infobox doesn't specify that; you'd have to check each team, and yes, all of those were women's teams. I suppose someone has to have a bare minimum of knowledge to know this, or maybe read the lead.

This is the first time I see two different articles of the same competition having 2 seperate articles, while the main article is made into a disambig. page
My question is why? The two articles also duplicate some information. I'm not sure if this is against MoS anyway. But there should be the main tournament page, and only if necessary, the subpages (men's and women's) to cover the topic in more detail. I tried to make
2024 FIBA 3x3 Europe Cup into an article, but i was reverted by the creator.

I was looking create page for this basketball youth player, from her professional football career perspective and notbility. Is there anyone who'd be able to help with the basketball side of her career? I'm not sure on the general format for basketball players, so was hoping there might be someone willing to pitch in. At a minimum, to cover the
basketball infobox module, assuming she will have both this and the
football biography module, within a
person infobox. I wouldn't even no where to start looking for stats for basketball. Thanks,

Does anybody have any suggestions on how to improve this page? There is a lot of repetition in the Rules section, specifically between the 'Possession and overtime' and 'Scoring' subsections. –
