– I don't think any of these are obvious primary topics. Two clubs play in Australia in different sports, so further disambiguation needed. Aussie rules football clubs widely use "Football Club" in title rather than FC, but given FC/Football Club mean the same thing, I don't think it's an obvious disambiguation, same as F.C vs FC which previous RMs have concluded RedPatch (talk) 01:07, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose I don't see too much of an issue, you're just creating longer names when I don't think you need to. The Croydon Football Club one doesn't look like it passes GNG, if that's deleted that leaves two. And you can sort it out between a top note. Govvy (talk) 10:38, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I think 'Croydon F.C.' is a PRIMARYTOPIC and should stay where it is, but I'm happy with the two Australian moves. GiantSnowman 19:30, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A ninth division team being a primary topic? Even though it gets many more views, getting 50 views daily versus the Australian which gets 10 daily average. When the numbers are that low, 50 vs 10, it would seem that neither is an extremely clear primary topic (to me primary would be something that would be like in the hundreds vs a lower amount amount, not 50 vs 10 which are both fairly low).

  • Oppose – Because Australian rules football is a restricted topic. To establish the primary topic, the number of views would need to be consistently higher. Svartner (talk) 00:21, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose and I would suggest moving Croydon FC (Australia) to Croydon FC per WP:SMALLDETAILS; as long as all the articles have appropriate hatnotes and there is a DAB page, I don't think there is an issue here. Number 57 10:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, that's not feasible. Any abbreviation can use full stops or not. In fact, the British convention is also not to, so the English club will also be commonly written "Croydon FC". -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • I agree the difference between "FC" and "F.C." doesn't distinguish and I'm a supporter of SMALLDETAILS. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
