Requested move 24 December 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved as requested with Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions redirected to Eastern Sports Club as suggested. If an overview article is created, it may be worth revisiting whether the football team should remain at the base title. Dekimasuよ! 02:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move: Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions → Eastern Sports Club (basketball) – Dropping the change often sponsored name and in lieu with other sub-article such as Galatasaray S.K. (men's basketball). Eastern Sports Club (women's basketball), another team of the sports club, is an article title that had potential, but currently not created in both zh-wiki and en-wiki.

Proposed re-target Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions → Eastern Sports Club. Matthew hk (talk) 22:16, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More on name, South China Morning Post the dominant English newspaper of Hong Kong, mostly just used "Eastern" for the male basketball team [1][2]. Matthew hk (talk) 17:41, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Second footnote. SCMP also used "Eastern Long Lions" to refer to Eastern's football team. So it is not wise to use the nickname as the article title of the Eastern basketball team while using the formal name for the Eastern football team, as both formal and nickname can refer to either team, or neither (refer to other section of the sport club).

Comment - surely Eastern Sports Club should be about the sports club, and then we have Eastern Sports Club (football) and Eastern Sports Club (basketball) for the notable divisions? Giant Snowman 11:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The football team is the primary topic of Eastern Sports Club for a long time, but i don't object to move both football and basketball section, and start another article for the multi-sport club. Other section of the multi-sport club is less notable, as i don't remember TV report had reported other section of the club. Matthew hk (talk) 12:11, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Logo

I was wondering should delete the sponsored logo from the article or not. The official website still used the registered trademark of the club, as well as on the basketball shirt. While the italic "Eastern Long Lions" or just "Eastern" was appeared in basketball team's facebook and also on the basketball shirt (photo 1; photo 2 is another team).
