Swiss Premium LeagueSPAR Premium League – The name of the Swiss Premium League was changed at the 31th of August in 2012 into SPAR Premium League. Please use correct capitalization.

  • That depends. Is this a sponsor name, such as from a Sparkasse? We generally don't use sponsor names for sport leagues; we have Premier League (not Barclays Premier League) and La Liga (not Liga BBVA). If this is unrelated to a sponsorship, I don't see a good reason not to move. --BDD (talk) 17:18, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • The league is known as SPAR Premium League, so that's the name of the league. SPAR is the sponsor of the league, but in a few years nobody knows Swiss Premium League, because there is no league called like this anymore. I think Premier league is widely known as the expression for Barclays Premier League, I don't even know that it's called Barclays Premier league. Premium league isn't. A redirection from SPAR Premium League to Swiss Premium League would be wrong, because it isn't called Swiss Premium League anymore. So what to do? --A.Bernhard (talk) 09:58, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If we're to use the sponsor name, it should be Spar Premium League per MOS:TM and the corresponding Spar (retailer) article. --BDD (talk) 19:03, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe the sponsor name principle isn't as universal as I thought. I didn't know Tippeligaen is actually a sponsor name. So except for the matter of capitalization, I'll say I'm not actually opposed to the move. --BDD (talk) 20:29, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
