Talk:Académica de Coimbra (football)

Supporters
isnt Boavista the Fourth in number of supporters? - --Cyprus2k1 12:29, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC) I'll try to NPOV the article a bit and correct some info when I'm in better shape. Added to "watch" for now. WolfenSilva 12:34, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * it isn't - outside the big games it's rare the Bessa has an attendance over 10k, but it's quite disputable that Académica claims the 4th spot. While it is indeed a very respected side nationwide, most of it's fanbase only has Académica as the "second team", after Benfica, Porto or Sporting (for academic reasons, as pointed in the article). V.Setúbal or V.Guimarães probably top Académica, but even that would be hard to prove.

No consensus for a move. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 11:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Associação Académica de Coimbra - O.A.F. → Académica de Coimbra → Académica de Coimbra OAF per WP:Common name. Sebisthlm (talk) 14:10, 16 February 2008 (UTC).

Amendment
The request has been amended. Naming the football club Académica de Coimbra may infringe on the other articles on the University of Coimbra student organization and its sports departments. Personally I think the football club would be best suited changing name according to the first move request with Associação Académica de Coimbra moving to Coimbra's Academic Association (there is no reason why that article's name should be in portuguese on English Wikipedia (see for example Uppsala Student Union). However, a mass move operation involving all articles linked to Associação Académica de Coimbra is probably unrealistic, hence the amendment of the move request.

 * Support per (amended) nom. Sebisthlm (talk) 08:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment It seems to me that the proposed move to Académica de Coimbra OAF is unnecessary. Académica de Coimbra OAF already redirects here. However, it may be a better version according to general guidelines on naming conventions, so I don't oppose. Yodaki (talk) 10:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - the point is that the actual title is the one used in categories and lists. Sebisthlm (talk) 11:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose if this is an Encyclopedia, whe should try to use / create the information correct, so if it doesn't make sense to change it...Aritajustino (talk) 12:07, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Again, please read WP:Common name. Article names should basically be the name by wich the subject is most commonly known, not necessarily the full official or scientific name. In this case the title is too long. Also, remember that this is the English Wikipedia. Sebisthlm (talk) 12:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Old Survey

 * Support per nom. Sebisthlm (talk) 14:10, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose. There are dozens of sports departments in different sports with this name, including the Associação Académica de Coimbra - Secção de Futebol (also a football team). Besides that, the Associação Académica de Coimbra also known as Académica (which is the parent institution for all the others using the name), is a students' union of the University of Coimbra. Yodaki (talk) 00:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The (professional) football club is by far the best known of the sports departments. If you look at the articles on the other departments, they all consist of three or four sentences. Sebisthlm (talk) 08:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose, Académica de Coimbra (professional football) may make sense. Matthew_hk   t  c  15:28, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Your suggestion is still too long. My amended suggestion make more sense. Sebisthlm (talk) 08:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose, is the official name...Aritajustino (talk) 01:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please read WP:Common name. Article names should basically be the name by wich the subject is most commonly known, not necessarily the full official or scientific name. In this case the title is too long. Sebisthlm (talk) 08:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

 * In my opinion, the proposed move to Académica de Coimbra OAF is unnecessary. Académica de Coimbra OAF already redirects here. Yodaki (talk) 09:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Associação Académica de Coimbra – O.A.F. → Académica – OAF – The current page name is ridiculously long and very rarely used. The club iteself is usually just known as "Académica". I reckon Académica – OAF is a good option, since it's used in their Twitter, official website, Instagram, and TikTok Ortizesp (talk) 16:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Move to Académica de Coimbra (football) or similar - seems to be English-language COMMONNAME per this and this - in Portuguese sources it's just 'Académica' (e.g. this). Unsure why we need the 'OAF' part. GiantSnowman 18:42, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support this as well.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:05, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
