Is this going to be a series of games, or just one game for this season?
editI have merged 2017 NHL Centennial Classic to NHL Centennial Classic. Unless there is evidence that there is going to be a series of these games, and not one just for the league's 100th season, there is no point in having two articles. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:53, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
- If there is going to be another Centennial Classic game (like the proposed Habs-Sens game for December 2017 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first NHL games played[1]), then my stance will change. Of course if that happens, we might have to get a little more creative with the article titles, like using something that is similar to 2016 Fiesta Bowl (December) and 2016 Fiesta Bowl (January).

- It now looks like the NHL is currently looking at TD Place Stadium to hold the Habs-Sens game on December 17. So if they also name this "NHL Centennial Classic", then my first preference in spliting this article would be naming them NHL Centennial Classic (January) and NHL Centennial Classic (December). IMO, adding "2017" to both would still be unnecessary because there is only one 100th year. Then this main NHL Centennial Classic article would be rewritten to be more like either a WP:DABCONCEPT or a WP:SETINDEX, depending on how much detail people want to include.

- Update: the NHL has named this NHL 100 Classic. Zzyzx11 (talk) 10:30, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Exactly what is the problem?
editSo you're only fussing about the order in which a certain paragraph is worded, and over the mentioning of "Exhibition Stadium" (which has been established as the official name of the site in the context of this event due to ambush advertising rules). Exactly what is wrong? ViperSnake151 Talk 02:38, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- The stadium is being referred to as "Exhibition Stadium" by the NHL due to the sponsorship of Scotiabank. It is in no way an official venue name change. Your wording made it appear that it was an official name of the venue. Your refused to take it to the talk page. It should be mentioned but your edits were poor. 64.231.151.232 (talk) 03:47, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- Yes. And other articles for situations like this have acknowledged venue name changes with explanation. Plus, I smell block evasion going on. Also, why are you saying my changes are not referenced? They are. ViperSnake151 Talk 05:03, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- For comparison, see the articles on the Olympics, like Ice hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics. During that year, the International Olympic Committee used the name "Canada Hockey Place" instead of Rogers Arena due to Olympics regulations regarding corporate sponsorship of event sites.
