Talk:Deportivo de La Coruña

El Turco
Why do they call Depor "El Turco"? Is there any special reason?--Anil Yasar (talk) 20:57, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Club name
According to all references I could find, the name is correct with the "La" rather than "A", so I have moved the page back to "La". Chris talk back 18:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * You are correct and I agree with your move. Take a look at the club logo. Regards, Carioca 21:56, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Transfers
I have removed the list of recent transfers, as Wikipedia is not a news service. Oldelpaso 11:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Louie Donowa
Today I created an article for Louie Donowa. Does anyone have any information about his spell with Deportivo in the eighties? If so, feel free to add it........thanks! User:Demonicanglian 19:36, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Team Kit
The Team Kit being displayed is from last season and needs to be updated. I'd do it but I don't know how. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Depor23 (talk • contribs) 01:58, 11 February 2007 (UTC).

I change the colour kit yet.

They do have a third kit which is rose pink and black. That should probably be added.

History
I reverted the history of this article to the previous version. I wrote this earlier concerning the particular edit, but am certainly open to any changes, especially in terms of grammar and fluidity. Isaiah 23:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it was taken almost (if not completely) word-for-word from the Depor official history; I assume that means plagiarism and it should be re-written? I would do something, but I feel I've done enough for the evening... Isaiah 23:54, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is the original version, in case someone wants to use it. Isaiah 23:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

City name
Yes, the official name of the club is Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña, S.A.D., but the official name of the city is: A Coruña. So I think the first paragraph should be changed by: ''Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña, S.A.D. (English: Royal Sports Club of A Coruña) is a Spanish football club from A Coruña, member of the LFP. The club was founded in 1906, and holds home games at the Riazor, with a capacity of 34,600 spectators.'' [in bold the changes]

2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup
I haven't change because I am not 100% sure but in the 2008 UEFA Intertoto Cup information it says the champion of the competition was Braga from Portugal. If that is so why does it say that Deportivo was champion that year? The champion, according to what I have read is the club that goes further in the UEFA Cup, that was not the case of Deportivo. Should on remove this from Deportivo wiki? I believe so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.83.228.120 (talk) 11:38, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Name Change Proposal
Proposing the idea of moving this article from "Deportivo de La Coruña" to "Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña". The full name of the club should be the name of the article with the shortened common name featured more prevalently within it. --Blackbox77 (talk) 03:59, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not the most common version of the name in English as per WP:COMMONNAME. For that matter, neither is the current name. Hack (talk) 11:23, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Barcelona cheating
Barcelona's actions can’t be considered cheating, it’s not cheating when you give someone a incentive to win,  it is  common practice in many leagues in the closing stages in many  leagues around the world, maybe not in England, Germany and similar countries but in many countries including my own(Croatia) it happens quite regularly. The whole purpose of the sport to go out and fight for the result no matter the circumstances, and they obliged even if they had some additional motivation it’s not cheating, it could be considered bad practice but not cheating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.207.35.32 (talk) 15:28, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. 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. 

The result of the proposal was no consensus. --BDD (talk) 07:05, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

– Uniformity. In English, when referring to these clubs, the preposition "de" (of) is omitted. Already the case with Atlético (de) Madrid. Relisted. BDD (talk) 20:32, 5 June 2013 (UTC) 81.38.177.218 (talk) 11:44, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Deportivo de La Coruña → Deportivo La Coruña
 * Celta de Vigo → Celta Vigo
 * Sporting de Gijón → Sporting Gijón
 * Recreativo de Huelva → Recreativo Huelva
 * Racing de Santander → Racing Santander
 * Racing de Ferrol → Racing Ferrol


 * Support - Lower case "la" though. Unreal7 (talk) 19:26, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * The La refers to the city's name in Spanish - La Coruña. It is always written in upper-case — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.38.177.218 (talk) 21:06, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
 * True, my mistake. That's what their official website says, no "de". Unreal7 (talk) 15:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Question - why does es.wp have "de La" for the first one (I haven't looked at the others), all the printed references suggest that the current title Deportivo de La Coruña is accurate. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Same for Celta de Vigo. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose for "Recreativo de Huelva" since -wikipedia -llc = 177 English book results, the same test "Recreativo Huelva" gets only 61 English book results.
 * Also - another problem. I notice "Recreativo Huelva" gets hits in abbreviated listings of matches wheras "Recreativo de Huelva" gets hits in real text complete sentences, which is what we are supposed to go by (excluding hits in lists, section headings, contents tables), a sample test "Recreativo de Huelva is" -wikipedia -llc 2 results, vs 0 results. Is that true for all of the others as well? In ictu oculi (talk) 23:41, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Support - I believe that the proposed names are the common english names which is the standard based on WP:COMMONNAME. It states "The most common name for a subject, as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources, is often used as a title because it is recognizable and natural." Kingjeff (talk) 05:59, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * But are they? See above, is it in running text? e.g. "with Racing de Ferrol" -wikipedia -llc 2 results, "with Racing Ferrol" -wikipedia -llc 1 result. We'd expect abbreviated names to be more common in simple lists. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:49, 30 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose for Deportivo. The majority of the English-language sources at the article include the 'de'. Eldumpo (talk) 20:57, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I have only seen and heard "Deportivo La Coruña." Here and here are two examples of English-language media using "Deportivo La Coruña." Kingjeff (talk) 20:50, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, those two sources don't have the 'de' but have you seen the refs/external links at the article? Eldumpo (talk) 21:36, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * UEFA also use Deportivo La Coruña  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.32.84.76 (talk) 09:03, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related page moves. BDD (talk) 20:33, 5 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose on principal as this is a poor precedent to set, it's already bad enough we have Inter Milan. Next we'll be having Man Utd as an article title. We should be using the official name of clubs, as common names don't apply for these organisations. GiantSnowman 09:13, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article. If the name of a person, group, object, or other article topic changes, then more weight should be given to the name used in reliable sources published after the name change than in those before the change." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:COMMONNAME#Common_names 81.33.55.88 (talk) 13:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Although I believe it is a Slippery slope fallacy that Man Utd will eventually be an article title, these article titles should stay the way they are. COMMONNAME is more like a set of guidelines. It states editors should normally follow that manual of style but I believe this is where the exception can be made. --MicroX (talk) 20:02, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support - Per common name. English-language sources such as the BBC, The Guardian,The Telegraph and UEFA.com all use "Deportivo La Coruña" ahead of "Deportivo de La Coruña". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.33.55.88 (talk) 09:06, 7 June 2013 (UTC)  — 81.33.55.88 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
