Keep at non-sponsored title

Tennis project guidelines and consensus is to use non-sponsored titles for the main article of tournaments. Sponsored names change often (sometime yearly). OEC Sports Group is the main sponsor for this event as far as I can tell. If not please explain. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:17, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Another (?) Taiwan Open

For those interested, a user is adamant there is another tournament called Taiwan Open, and has been making a mess of the redirects to this article. See User talk:333-blue#Taiwan Open --Midas02 (talk) 01:33, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

There actually is a confusion over two separate tournaments. First there was a now defunct WTA Taiwan Open held from 1986–1994. That event is gone. Then there is the newer event that really started in 2008 and continues to this day. It was an ITF $100,000+ event but was recently upgraded to the brand new WTA $125,000 event that the WTA calls a "Challenger event." I just tried to fix those designations. What we now need is to refill the winner from 2011 to the present at Taipei Open (tennis). We do not use sponsored names in a title, and since Taiwan Open is a disambiguation page, Taipei Open seemed appropriate as it is used in news reporting. The event itself gives past winners but I don't have time to add them tonight. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

I said that it isn't in Taipei, correctly, in Kaohsiung, see 2016 WTA Tour#February. 333-blue 02:49, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

That may be true, but the tournament itself says it's the "Taipei WTA 125K" tournament, and the WTA calls it the "Taipei WTA Challenger" tournament. So the event name is legit. Even the BBC calls it the "Taipei Open". The WTA tells us it's location is in "Taipei, CHINESE TAIPEI." It also says here that the event is in Taipei. If you can find enough sources otherwise it certainly it can be changed in the infobox. But the title is on solid ground. Fyunck(click) (talk) 06:41, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Please see here, it says in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. 333-blue 06:56, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

I think what you are referring to is the brand new event that will take place in Kaohsiung in Feb of 2016. That is going to be a WTA International level event called the "Taiwan Open – Kaohsiung." I'm not sure what title that new event will be under. Taiwan Open will continue to be a disambiguation page and Taiwan Open (tennis) should probably also redirect to that same disambiguation page. The new event should probably be titled "Taiwan Open International" or perhaps "Taiwan Open Kaohsiung". It should also be listed at the disambiguation page (which I have now done).

Revisit title of this article

Please see Talk:Taiwan Open for discussion on how this article should be named. "Ladies" doesn't fit any of the common names for these tournaments. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 00:54, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
