[edit] Rename?
I had proposed merging this to the Wilt Chamberlain article; that didn't seem popular, and I am kinda ambivalent about it after reading the debate. But I do agree with one comment, that this should be moved to a new title that's a little more specific. How about Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game? It's short and unambiguous. -Cmprince 04:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds good. You (and Mwelch) have my support on the rename. Myasuda 04:51, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Support. (Probably not much of a surprise, eh?) 8-) Mwelch 08:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Just to flesh things out, and since there's no real important deadline, how about these other alternatives: Wilt Chamberlain's record 100 point game or Wilt Chamberlain's NBA record 100 point game? Quadzilla99 13:49, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'd stick with just Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game Mwelch 21:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Semantically, the game isn't the record, Chamberlain's score is, so it's not really a "record game." Logistically, what happens if/when the record is broken? Kobe Bryant scored 81 recently, so it's not inconceivable. -Cmprince 01:48, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Then it would no longer be Wilt Chamberlain's record 100 point game. As for your semantics the title could be changed to "record setting 100 point game". The proposed title sounds too trivial to me. Quadzilla99 23:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, Oppose to the proposed title. Quadzilla99 23:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I don't like it but 3-1 is probably consensus, so if anyone is paying attention you can go ahead and merge. Quadzilla99 11:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- I just made the move. Note that I chose to use the dash between "100" and "point" because most media references and official mentions of it (like mentions on the nba.com web site and so forth) use it. Mwelch 19:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
