2027 ICC Cricket World Cup2027 Cricket World CupWP:COMMONNAME and consistency with other men's (50 over) Cricket World Cups. The proposed location is protected, so will need an admin to move this. The fact that T20 World Cups have ICC in the name is not a reason to keep this inconsistent with the other 50 over World Cup articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:39, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENT. And we routinely drop the name of a sponsor or sanctioning body from an event title like this (unless there's a very good reason to keep it, e.g. because the event is almost invariably referred to with it in independent sources [WP:COMMONNAME], or because it's needed for disambiguation).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  00:06, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
  • Support for consistency, subject to the reasons for the page being protected having been overcome (some combination of CRYSTAL / TOOSOON I'd assume). Spike 'em (talk) 19:26, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Further to this, the target page has been deleted 3 times, most recently in Oct 21, and a draft rejected in Nov 22. There is more known about the tournament than when the last deletion took place, so I think there is just about enough to create an article with, though the draft should probably be merged in too.
