– There can be no primary topic for the general phrase "British Championship/s", as it could apply broadly to a vast number of competitions.

  1. The ice hockey champions information is inappropriately occupying the primary topic for such a generic phrase. I can find no reliable source that describes this competition clearly as "British Championship", so I'll leave it to knowledgeable editors to suggest a better alternate destination title. This page may also duplicate information on the British ice hockey league champions page, and might be more prime for merging.
  2. The second move is to reflect that most entries listed on the British Championships DAB page are in the singular. -- Netoholic @ 10:40, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support although I take issued with "there can be no primary topic", as it's perfectly possible for any phrase (no matter how generic it seems) to be a primary topic. There is though no primary topic for this title - a google search on the exact phrase returns results related to (in no particular order) Gymnastics, Triathlon, Judo, Swimming, Ice skating, Taekwando, Beards(!), Athletics, Alpine skiing, Fellrunning, Icelandic horse racing (TIL that Icelandic horses are a thing) and a couple that I can't work out from just the snippet.

I attempted to carry out the move but got a Wikimedia internal error with the second move. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:13, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
