Racing de Santander B → Rayo Cantabria – It is the new club name since this summer, as it says the article in Spanish. Asturkian (talk) 08:11, 25 August 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 04:45, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - no sources provided, and Deportivo Rayo Cantabria is a different team? Giant Snowman 18:51, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @GiantSnowman: Yes, it is. About source: https://www.realracingclub.es/noticia/el-filial-racinguista-adopta-oficialmente-la-denominacion-rayo-cantabria Asturkian (talk) 07:53, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support as i have found several other media articles on this. The 'other' Rayo Cantabria seem to be all but defunct, their Twitter has not updated since July 2018 which is the same time as they were excluded from competitions for failing to make payments (see refs on Spanish wiki article, I will add those to the English version) - although that tweet seemed to be a photo of a document stating they could play. For avoidance of doubt, they did not take part in the 2018-19 Tercera División, or anything this year further down into the Cantabria leagues. Haven't found anything stating they have been officially wound up, and unsure of the exact circumstances (did Racing buy the rights to the name, or do the authorities consider it to now be an unused name that Racing B could freely use?), a native Spanish speaker may do better at finding something for that, and it would be good if the article on that club could be updated to that effect.

But I do think that the Racing B article and player cat should be renamed as Racing are now determinedly calling their reserves by that title and it has been approved officially. The only issue that could arise is a potential confusion for readers who were aware of a Rayo Cantabria in that league two years ago and now a team by that name being there this season, but them being two different entities.
