Merger Proposal of Taipei Assassins to this article
[edit]I don't know much about these video game things but these two articles are about the same group of gamers, before and after a name change. I don't consider having two separate articles for the exact same thing does any good at all. Wishva de Silva | Talk 13:39, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- In other sports articles, for example Los Angeles Rams and St. Louis Rams, a new page has been created every time the group renames.--Prisencolin (talk) 22:40, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
Although this situation can be compared to the Los Angeles Rams and St. Louis Rams situation, I think this should be veiwed as a New Orleans Pelicans New Orleans Hornets situation. They simply re branded as a team after Jay Chou bought out the team and named it after himself. [1]
- Support merge; cycling teams might be another useful comparison; there isn't a new page for each team, but rather one page which follows the team as the name changes. For example, see Flandria (cycling team) which has a typically long Team name history. Klbrain (talk) 21:50, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Undoing the previous merger with Taipei Assassins
[edit]Taipei Assassins should not have been merged with J Team. In the examples given in the previous discussion (i.e. New Orleans Pelicans → New Orleans Hornets; Flandria's multiple names), the teams saw a change in ownership and were rebranded, or were simply renamed to match their sponsors. However, J Team is not a continuation of Taipei Assassins, nor do they claim to be. Jay Chou purchased the LMS spot of Taipei Assassins to add a League of Legends division to his newly created esports organisation J Team. He did not rebrand Taipei Assassins and then start from there; the team was owned by Garena, then an independent investor before it was dissolved in a decision unrelated to Jay Chou's purchase of the LMS spot. The legacy, history and name of Taipei Assassins has never been claimed by J Team; in a nutshell, this was not a renaming or rebranding of an organisation, but instead one organisation bought a spot in a professional league from another.
