Oppose - no sources provided. Giant Snowman 08:46, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

USV Hercules provides 1150 sources in Google News versus 0 for "Hercucles football club" and 0 for "Hercules voetbalclub". "Hercules voetbalclub" has no hits on Google Books, "Hercules football club" only false positives, "USV Hercules" has true positives. The name Hercules in football is also used for clubs in Zaandam and Alicante, so Hercules (football club) is not a satisfying name for anything but a disambiguation page. gidonb (talk) 13:45, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support after nom finally provided sources. Giant Snowman 15:19, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please note also that other wikis use USV Hercules consistently. Don't know how we reached this one. Change looks trivial to me from such an awful baseline. gidonb (talk) 15:17, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support It's the club's name, as clearly visible on their website. The current title is also more ambiguous than the proposal – when I saw this RM listed, I assumed it was Hércules CF. Number 5 7 11:50, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
