Big clubs of Brazil
In the section "Rivals", the three main rivals of Botafogo are given, while a list of all the other large clubs from Brazil is also mentioned. This list includes Bahia, probably because it is one of the founding members of Clube dos 13. I removed Bahia, as this is not enough to classify the team as one of the big ones. Clube dos 13 has, nowadays, several other clubs that are not listed here. There are clearly 12 dominant clubs in Brazil, while to include Bahia would make fans of Coritiba, Atlético Paranaense, Sport Recife, etc to protest the inclusion of their clubs of comparable size to Bahia. Besides, the section is made for Botafogo's rivals, that are mainly the three other large clubs from Rio de Janeiro City. The mention of other national big clubs implies softer but also important rivalries, which is only true to 8 of the 9 clubs mentioned. Botafogo has no big rivalry to Bahia, and a game against them is not much different than a game against Vitória, while a game against any of the other 8, such as Cruzeiro, Palmeiras or Grêmio, has indeed a considerable degree of rivalry. 177.182.217.21 (talk) 03:48, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you are right. --Carioca (talk) 19:35, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Botafogo beach
Why does "Botafogo beach" redirect here, rather than to the Botafogo page? 98.118.181.161 (talk) 02:21, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I fixed the redirects. Botafogo beach and Botafogo Beach now redirect to Botafogo. Thanks. Regards, --Carioca (talk) 18:44, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Jersey???
Black and white by Juventus??? One huge problem, Juventus use this jersey before 1904 (first Pink by 6 years and later pink & black by 1 year)and Botafogo is founded in 1904!!!!!!!!!!!!--186.62.157.165 (talk) 02:19, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Requested move

 * 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. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Botafogo is a neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Nobody who joined the discussion supported using that name to signify *just* the football club. EdJohnston (talk) 19:15, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

– The football club Botafogo qualifies for WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:COMMONNAME. However, I do not know what would be an appropriate page name for the Botafogo neighborhood. I suggest Botafogo (bairro), Botafogo (neighborhood) or Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro but other suggestions are welcome. MicroX (talk) 21:04, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas → Botafogo
 * Botafogo → ?
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. MicroX (talk) 21:15, 17 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose - Looking at Botafogo (disambiguation) gives me a feeling that Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas is not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as there is a whole lot of articles that is named Botafogo. This one might be the most viewed topic, but not the primary topic. I would support moving the article about the town to Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, but oppose moving the article about the football club. Mentoz86 (talk) 21:57, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro would be standard format. (This does not mean I support or oppose the move) -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 00:14, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - not PRIMARYTOPIC, and we do not use COMMONNAME for football clubs, the debacle that was the Inter Milan RM aside. GiantSnowman 09:54, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Nominator comment – After reading some of the opposing arguments, would anyone support redirecting Botafogo to Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas and the original article about the Botafogo neighborhood be moved to Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro? --MicroX (talk) 04:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose Mentoz86 and GiantSnowman have said exactly what I had planned to. Number   5  7  13:39, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - The term is too generic to refer specifically to the football club. – PeeJay 15:45, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
