• Djurgårdens IF Hockey → Djurgårdens IF hockey
• Djurgårdens IF Hockey (women) → Djurgårdens IF hockey (women)

– These are dressed up like proper names, but I can't find them in sources this way. I'm open to other alternatives, e.g. Djurgårdens IF (men's hockey) and Djurgårdens IF (women's hockey), or any other disambiguated name or descriptive term, especially if found in English sources. Or we could use an untranslated name, perhaps. Dicklyon (talk) 15:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 07:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: other Djurgårdens IF#Sections are not yet considered, but should be. Comments are welcome. Some of them may be actual club names, some not. Dicklyon (talk) 15:47, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose The problem for the club is that the full name is so long, Djurgårdens IF Ishockeyförening. The club itself uses an abbreviation for their home page difhockey.se, which matches the name of the article. I.e. Djurgårdens IF Hockey. Here is also a few news pages which shows the use of the name: [1] [2] [3] [4] QubeCube (talk) 06:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per QubeCube, Swedish secondary sources mostly appear to use Hockey with a capital H. The Kip 20:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I would also support a move to Djurgårdens IF Ishockeyförening, the official (but long) title of the team. The Kip 18:51, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Support—Swedish-language sources???? We'd cap everything if we took any notice of them. This is English. Tony (talk) 06:59, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  For overseas teams we go with their native names - we have Eisbären Berlin instead of Berlin Ice Bears for a reason, and believe it or not, their native language name (in Swedish) is Djurgårdens IF Ishockeyförening with a capital I - this is often shortened simply to Djurgårdens IF Hockey, with a capital H. If we solely went off of what English-language sources say, they typically omit the "Hockey" entirely and just say Djurgårdens IF, which we can't do as the entire sports club is called that.

• Support The formal name is Djurgårdens IF Ishockeyförening, where Ishockeyförening means ice hockey association. While we would capitalise the formal name in English, this shortened form is a descriptive name that would not be capitalised: the article is about the [mens'] Djurgårdens IF ice hockey team. This is analogous with capitalisation of job titles for the same reasons - we capitalise President of the United States but not United States president or the president, which are shortened or alterative forms of the formal name. It is certainly not necessary capitalisation per

• Support alternative The proper title should be "Djurgårdens IF Ishockeyförening" which would be the capatilized Ice Hockey Association. But as other's have pointed out, the shortened form is lowercased. Thus, switching it to be men's or women's hockey is more appropriate. Conyo14 (talk) 21:36, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Support alternative Djurgårdens IF men's ice hockey and Djurgårdens IF women's ice hockey (optionally with "team" in there, too), which I think is what Cinderella was proposing and what Conyo14 is supporting. Dicklyon (talk) 21:46, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
