Apologies if this had been asked before. But in the Sports section, it states "the highest professional level of their respective sports" but then mentions MLS. Is MLS really considered the highest professional level of soccer? I can understand NFL and NHL, but I don't think MLS is seen as the highest level of soccer worldwide. --24.80.87.10 (talk) 21:07, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Procedural close: Regardless of the outcome of this discussion, the article will not be moved permanently to Nashville per WP:USPLACE, as local consensus cannot override Wikipedia guidelines. Please spend your efforts to get WP:USPLACE changed first, then come back here. (non-admin closure) BilCat (talk) 21:49, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just as a clarifying point, I'm actually the one who added Nashville into that paragraph a few years back -- not as an example of why the guideline is needed, but to address confusion where users were interpreting the inclusion of state names in the title to mean that U.S. city base names cannot be primary topics. Nashville felt like the best example to demonstrate that.--Yaksar(let's chat)21:14, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weaker-than-average oppose - For now. Consensus seems to hold that single-word titles for U.S. cities should only be used per the AP Stylebook (which, full disclosure, I disagree with a few of the entries that use this form). While there is no doubt that this is the primary topic, I feel that we shouldn't perform this move unless consensus can show that this convention is appropriate under certain conditions for cities listed by the AP as requiring the state name.

As I've said before I'm not sure if the state is needed however USPLACE says that its common usage and that's how readers and editors expect them to be titled. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:34, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support While I don't think this will actually be moved without a wider discussion on USPLACE, I'm supporting to note the unfortunate situation that our current title policy for US cities requires us to ignore common usage, common sense, and consistency across other cities throughout the world. If the only reason why Nashville requires disambiguation used rather than its common name but Sanandaj, Salmon Arm, Kapan and Bognor Regis do not is because of the policy that demands it, then the policy doesn't make much sense.--Yaksar(let's chat)21:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While I laud the excellent extensive and detailed history of Nashville's 20th Century racial issues (and 19th-Century issues, as well), they seem to form a very disproportionate percentage of the coverage of Nashville history. I strongly do NOT think any of it should be removed -- but where is the REST of Nashville history?
Not even Nashville's nationally historic music industry, and related massive 20th-Century boom in tourism (around which much of Nashville's modern activity, cultural and social evolution, and economy have come to revolve), seem to get ANY attention in the History section. Relegating such influential and transformative developments to the "Culture" section, or a paragraph in the "Economy" section, is hardly representative of these major formative events in the postwar history of Nashville.
