Seperate articles for "mother"-clubs

Shouldn't the information about Olympique Lillois and SC Fives be located in seperate articles instead of just placing all info in the same article?--Froztbyte 02:48, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article

Shouldn't the name of the artikel be LOSC Lille instead of Lille OSC, when that name is used more often (example: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/clubs/club=75797/index.html)? Tøndemageren (talk) 12:13, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should this section be removed? It sounds more like an advert... 『Woona』_{Dear Celestia...} 08:33, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 7 August 2024

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 discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page to any particular title at this time, per the discussion below. Please note that if there is any future move request involving the short title LOSC, that request would need to show that this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for that title, since it is currently a disambiguation page.

Lille OSC → LOSC Lille – The current title is wrong in both WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIALNAME. Firstly, the club's official name is not "Lille Olympique Sporting Club"-- that's what it used to be. Today, the club's entire official name is "LOSC Lille". "Lille OSC", the current title, is used by nobody both in common and official usage. In media, the club is often referred to as "Lille", "LOSC", and often times as "LOSC Lille". We could move the title to just "LOSC", but since the English-language "short" name for usage in articles is just "Lille", this wouldn't really work smoothly. I say we should go by the club's actual name in this specific case, which is also really commonly used in sources, only third to Lille and LOSC (which I don't believe are valid titles.)

Oppose on basis of no sources. Their website is LOSC, and Soccerway has it as 'Lille OSC'. Giant Snowman 18:57, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I might have been a bit hasty. The French Wikipedia confirms all I said above. I should have cited some sources. I went digging and couldn't find a 2012 source that explicitly states that the club changed its name, even though it's clear as day that the club went from "LOSC Lille Métropole" to "LOSC Lille" after that, as seen in their logo change. It hasn't been called "Lille Olympique Sporting Club" since 1998 (according to fr:LOSC Lille). I'm pretty sure this is correct even though no source backs it up. I understand that this probably means no move (for now). Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:04, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: LOSC Lille is a stupid tautology that was once wrongly used. The club now uses the acronym LOSC in both his logo and trademark guidelines. We should keep Lille OSC as it's a good balance between the official acronym (LOSC, for Lille Olympique Sporting Club) and the city represented by the club (Lille). AideDésintéressée (talk) 03:40, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It should be LOSC but google search results show that Lille OSC seems like a more French usage. Since this is English wiki, LOSC Lille is more appropriate. Beshogur (talk) 19:58, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per UEFA website. Beshogur (talk) 19:53, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
UEFA website may not be the best. For instance, UEFA refers to Paris Saint-Germain as "Paris", although the common name for the club is "PSG" and virtually nobody calls that club simply "Paris". Clog Wolf _Howl 02:24, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support, but comment how about just LOSC? It seems to be the preferred name for the club in French and is on all their socials, and the other entry on the DAB is clearly secondary to the club.--Ortizesp (talk) 20:52, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the club's Instagram has "Lille Olympique Sporting Club" as their name, clearly suggesting the club have not changed their name. If anything, the page should be moved to LOSC, which is the name most used by the club to refer to itself other than simply "Lille". Clog Wolf _Howl 02:29, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I am actually use to seeing LOSC Lille when I read the French news, but often or not, a lot of the time I see the title just as "Lille" used more in prose format. LOSC Lille is used more as a title in the French style. But you forget this is English wikipedia, not the French wikipedia and in English you have football club after the town name. While in French, you would say Club de football and then the town name. Govvy (talk) 16:29, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
