2008 Norwegian First Division → 2008 1. divisjon – Norwegian First Division is not the real name of this Norwegian second-tier football league. The correct naming should be YYYY 1. divisjon for all seasons (YYYY = Year). A lower-case "d" is the correct way of writing "1. divisjon". Examples from other countries: 2018 1. deild karla (Iceland), 2017 1. deild (Faroe Islands) and 2018–19 2.

Comment: Those other examples were created pretty recently and don't seem to have been the subject of title RM discussions. Can you give some older examples? Do independent reliable English-language sources use the suggested name predominantly? —BarrelProof (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

• Support to match 1. divisjon. Number 57 12:29, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose. The name 1. divisjon barely registers on Google at all. The name of the league itself was set at Norwegian First Division in a 2014 RM on Talk:Norwegian First Division#Request move the talk page until an undiscussed move last October and another undiscussed move this June. I have moved it back.  — Amakuru (talk) 23:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose and fix 1. divisjon back to sensible English title as Amakuru has just done. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:47, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
• Update: The Norwegian First Division article has been moved to 1. divisjon as the result of an RM, which presumably largely invalidates the opposing comments above. Number 57 16:14, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per Amakuru and WP:USEENGLISH, and the Norwegian First Division → 1. divisjon move should be redone. In neither discussion is there evidence that reliable English sources uses the divisjon spelling. To the contrary, relevant English sources like soccerway.com use English division[1]]. --В²C ☎ 01:41, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
