Racing White Daring → R.W.D. Molenbeek – "Molenbeek" is part of the name. Alternatives would be RWD Molenbeek or Racing White Daring Molenbeek, but most incoming links from articles on players or managers use the name R.W.D. Molenbeek, perhaps because that was the old name of this article until 2010. The official website of the new club "Racing White Daring Molenbeek 2003" mainly uses "RWD Molenbeek". – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:07, 6 August 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Comment I always remember the club being called RWD Molenbeek, but was Molenbeek actually part of the name though? It's fairly common to add town/area names onto continental football clubs when they aren't actually part of the club's names (e.g. Ajax Amsterdam (actually AFC Ajax, Twente Enschede (FC Twente) etc).

 * Relisting coment: You seem to be saying there's an unwritten convention (or is there an official convention I've missed?). We should write that down if so, and otherwise go with the English common name. Usage of the name on the website is evidence but not very good evidence... can we do better?
