Talk:Bellerive Oval

Untitled

I'll start a re-write of the article in late January 2009. Hopefully to get it up to C-class. Aaroncrick (talk) 00:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

NRL Game

Someone with an ISP address only keeps on adding an NRL game at Bellerive Oval to this page. I have no evidence that this ever occurred. I live in Hobart and would probably be aware if it happened. If someone has a credible reference I will happily eat my words but unless this occurs I am presuming these edits are all vandalism and will be removed. --TinTin (talk) 00:45, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Local controversy

I noticed this series of edits in May this year - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bellerive_Oval&diff=608802971&oldid=606554733 While there have been issues, these edits looks a little POV. Not beyond salvageable though, so I'll leave it in place - a few references will help. -- Chuq (talk) 07:17, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Bellerive Oval → Blundstone Arena – This is the name used on their website and is replicated in the infobox. The external site even shows the stadium's name as Blundstone Arena. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:42, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose - The ground is still colloquially known as Bellerive Oval regardless of sponsorship. – PeeJay 08:16, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
• Comment - previous discussions on moving cricket grounds to their sponsored names have failed regardless of what the official websites are called (e.g. Rose Bowl (cricket ground), Sophia Gardens (cricket ground); The Oval has not been moved, even though Surrey's website is thekiaoval.com). I have rarely encountered reports about games at this ground, so am not sure what the WP:COMMONNAME is. Spike 'em (talk) 08:42, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
• Comment - Just so you know, Cricinfo still refers to the ground as Bellerive Oval. Blundstone Arena is only mentioned as an "also known as". – PeeJay 09:16, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose It's probably a transient sponsor's name. At the moment, it's still widely known as Bellerive. By the time it might widely be known by the sponsor's name, it'll probably have another sponsor about to be announced. And yes, of course the venue uses the sponsor name - they wouldn't get far trying to get a new sponsor if they didn't. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:31, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose as a sponsor name, we shouldn't use it, as a non-sponsor name exists. As for example Sophia Gardens (cricket ground) rather than SWALEC Stadium. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:54, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks all - I thought it might be one of those sponsership deal things with the ground, but wasn't sure. I think everyone here is UK-based, but unless if anyone from Down Under has anything solid to go against this consensus, I'm happy to withdraw it. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 18:00, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

Guessing it's sponsored by Blundstone Footwear, an Australian footwear company? Joseph2302 (talk) 18:01, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

No need to guess, they are listed at the bottom of the stadium's home page as a "Naming partner". Harrias ^talk 20:54, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

And indeed in this very article. – PeeJay 21:13, 21 August 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose per the precedent set with every other ground that we ignore the sponsor's rebranding. Harrias ^talk 20:54, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose article names for stadiums/grounds don't use sponsorship name. Name may change from Blundstone Arena in the future, Bellerive Oval will always remain constant. Flickerd (talk) 09:00, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
