Talk:FC Metalurh Donetsk/Archive 1

Name
Shouldn't it be spelt Metalurg Donetsk in English, that's the way I've seen it spelt. Yonatanh 13:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The team's English language website uses a third name, "Metallurg (Металлург in Russian) Donetsk. Sorry for the ukrainian nationalists, but the majority of the Donetsk's population are Russians, not Ukrainian. 86.101.113.73 (talk) 18:18, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Result was move.--Riurik(discuss) 06:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Per NC, the question is whether the official name of the sports team under consideration has "no ambiguity" or "some ambiguity".

I think that the team's name is ambiguous, because it does not have an English-language website/section, nor is it broadly recognizable, and it is easily confused with another team FC Metalurh Zaporizhya.

Therefore per above naming convention, which states and I quote: “ 	(2) in cases where there is some ambiguity as to the official spelling of a club's name in English, the name most commonly used by the English-language media should be used (as determined using the number of hits at Google News) 	”

This name seems to be: FC Metalurh Donetsk

Results:

"fc metalurh donetsk" - 202 with uefa

"fc metalurg donetsk" - 3 with uefa

Without uefa:

"fc metalurh donetsk" -uefa - 13

"fc metalurg donetsk" -uefa - 0

Because of above, the article should be moved to FC Metalurh Donetsk.--Riurik(discuss) 21:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
