Queen's page?

Does anyone think that The Queen's Club should have a different page to the Queen's Club Championships?

Fair use rationale for Image:Artois Championships logo.gif

Image:Artois Championships logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It would be good if someone provided all of the winners back to 1890

That would also mean a change to some of the statistics like who won the most combined doubles and singles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmartin prof (talk • contribs) 12:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

John Newcombe 1967

He appears to have beaten a british version of himself this year 86.177.171.90 (talk) 15:22, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I had a look at all of the references and could not find the correct name of the beaten finalist. Does anybody know? 81.23.54.142 (talk) 13:48, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AEGON Championships → Queen's Club Championships — General Wikipedia policy appears to be to go by the longstanding and traditional name of a tournament or event for internal consistency, rather than to go by the name of temporary sponsors. For example, see the following: Asian Five Nations (rather than HSBC Asian Five Nations), Ellis Park Stadium (rather than Coca-Cola Park), Free State Stadium (rather than Vodacom Park) and 2010 World Snooker Championship (rather than 2010 Betfred.com World Snooker Championship).

Support Sponsorships tend to change every couple of years, which only leads to confusion. Skinsmoke (talk) 04:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support all per WP:COMMONNAME, strong support for the main article. I believe that Queen's Club Championships is the more commonly used day-to-day name. As stated in the nomination it is also normal for us not to use the sponsorship name unless it's almost only known by that name. Additionally for the main article the current location makes little sense as the article covers the whole history of the championship and for the vast majority of that time it was not known by AEGON or indeed any single sponsorship name. Dpmuk (talk) 11:39, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support, same reasoning as at Aviva Premiership. Worth noting that the BBC in recent years has always referred to this (on-screen, at least) as "Queen's" rather than "AEGON" or "Artois". 81.110.111.164 (talk) 02:18, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We've recently discussed about the naming of tournaments here. We've came into conclusion that the articles of certain year's tournament should use the official sponsored name, whereas when referring to the tournament in general, the generic name (i.e. the Queen's Club Championships) should be used. So I think we should make title changes like this:

2010 Queen's Club Championships -> 2010 AEGON Championships
2006 Queen's Club Championships -> 2006 Stella Artois Championships

Queen's Club Championships 1957

The page currently shows Ashley Cooper beating someone called Gerry Lafferty in the 1957 final. This is not a name familiar to me, and someone who appears never to have played at Wimbledon.

I suspect the real runner-up was Neale Fraser?

See http://www.tennisarchives.com/voorloopfiche.php?wedstrijdvoorloopid=7129 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.68.96.49 (talk) 16:42, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that an anonymous user was being mischievous ... the error was introduced with this edit; I've returned Neale Fraser to his previous place as runner-up. Klbrain (talk) 21:37, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
