Requested move 27 January 2020

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a
requested move
. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moved as proposed, with all opposition withdrawn. BD2412 T 05:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:COMMONNAME. Not a single reliable source uses full stops with this club's name. Similarly to AFC Wimbledon, the FC doesn't appear to stand for anything, so FC Halifax Town is the club's full official and common name. TrailBlzr (talk) 08:37, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 20:30, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - standard naming convention for English football clubs is to use fullstops (F.C. / A.F.C.) - AFC Wimbledon is the exception because the 'AFC' doesn't actually stand for anything. Giant Snowman 20:33, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: The "FC" in FC Halifax Town does not stand for anything either. TrailBlzr (talk) 04:07, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for clarifying, you are correct - so support on that basis. Giant Snowman 19:12, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support
WP:COMMONNAME
are irrelevant to this discussion as we have a de facto naming convention for English football clubs as outlined by GS above. The real question is whether the F and C stand for anything. As far as I can see (having searched the club website and elsewhere), they do stand for "Football Club".

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a
requested move
