Spanish page is much detailed
It would be appreciated if someone, preferably a native Spaniard, edits this page and adds all the details there are on Spanish version of this page. Abbasijawi (talk) 19:30, 14 July 2020 (UTC)


 * The Spanish Wikipedia page is a piece of pseudohistory and should undergo major changes. POV of an article on the Madrid club website. But independent sources proved that RM was equally likely to make its own team, or no team, or merge with Madrid CFF, which was already a Primera División women's club, instead of Tacón. The tone is silly and unencyclopedic, some now edited out (thank you, Anon). "It wasn't until 2013, in Perez's second stint as president that light began to emerge at the end of the tunnel."


 * I'll put in the relevant sources later. Florentino Perez made self-contradictory comments on women's football – as we saw with The Super League, he's a ruthless businessman and was probably telling different things to different clubs in private. The article takes a statement that many Tacón players supported Madrid, as if it were evidence of a reciprocal business arrangement! Before Tacón won promotion in 2019, there's little of it to show. Certainly not worth rewriting history. - Demokra (talk) 23:23, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

– The naming of the women's section of, traditionally, men's non-English football clubs is a mess on WP. As you can see here in Category:Women's football clubs in Spain, some are named xxx (women), some xxx Feminino. Catalan is used: FC Barcelona Femení, as well as the word Feminas: Real Betis Féminas. We find the same situation in other non-English leagues. For instance, here in Italy and Norway. Note also that all women's clubs articles from some big football countries already end in (women) instead of a native word, where the women's section is part of a bigger club. See here in Germany and Brazil. Since this is the English language version of WP, I propose we use the English language and name all these clubs xxx (women), where ever a non-English word for women is used after the clubname article. This is per WP:CONSISTENT and WP:TITLECON. To check for possible opposition, I Previously moved a handfull of Spanish women's teams articles via the move button. Admin @Rosguill reviewed them and made no changes. I also left a message on WP talk:Naming conventions and again found no opposition. (maybe no support there either, since there were no replies). This requested move is only for 10 articles to invite discussion, and see if the proposal passes. For that reason I've only selected a number of bigger clubs from different countries. If it does pass, I plan on coming back here with possibly hundreds of moves. If it doesn't, I won't have wasted a lot of time looking for these sorts of articles. I also then plan on doing the same for categories with the same issue. Lastly, I hope this proposal would stop the incessant ping-ponging of article names of some clubs, e.g. Barcelona, PSG, Ol. Lyon. Dutchy45 (talk) 14:44, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Support: per nom. The local language suffix is actually only used for disambiguating from the men's team. This proposal is logical and will standardize the naming formats and provide consistency. Something needs to be done about normalizing Chelsea F.C. Women, Arsenal W.F.C., etc. too. I want to ask, does this only affect non-English names? HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:00, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This Proposal is only about non-English club names. They are the ones with a non-English word for women after the club name. Dutchy45 (talk) 19:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose, I think I prefer the local language suffix as per WP:NATURAL, but only if they are sometimes used.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Can I ask; What do you mean by "only if they are sometimes used"? The problem with local languages here, is that very few English WP-reader know those words mean women. I myself only figured out that the Norwegian word "kvinner" means women when I started looking into this issue. Dutchy45 (talk) 19:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks for doing that @GiantSnowman. Dutchy45 (talk) 20:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Procedural oppose as this type of bundling is inappropriate; no prejudice to them being re-nominated individually over time and no issues in principle with this type of move (although given the parent club is Real Madrid CF, the first article should be moved to Real Madrid CF (women), and other articles named accordingly. GiantSnowman 20:10, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @GiantSnowman, why do you believe this bundling is inappropriate? Dutchy45 (talk) 20:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment a similar mass requested move was nominated at Talk:Arsenal Women F.C. where 11 or the 12 club articles of the WSL were in discussion at the same time. As per Seany91 on that RM discussion, they should be discussed separately. I'm inclined to oppose these move proposals per WP:COMMONNAME anyway. Though I would consider moving the first article to Real Madrid CF (women) in line with the current title of the club associated with the team. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 20:36, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Procedural oppose as too many different clubs from multiple countries have been listed here, which makes this bundling a mess. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Procedural oppose: These teams are from different countries with different naming conventions. At least the previous mass RM (which I opposed for the same reason) were all English teams. Seany91 (talk) 13:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Why use a parenthetical disambiguator when we can just use the team's proper name? – PeeJay 16:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Because teams proper names links to the men's team article, while WP has articles about women's teams. Dutchy45 (talk) 07:56, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
