• Oppose – The decision at Dnipropetrovsk was to not move the city and then the team should not be moved either. UEFA also says FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk ([2]). Qed237 (talk) 22:42, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose per Qed237. GiantSnowman 07:29, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose No evidence that the club has changed its name. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 08:29, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Name of the city

How long will posting of wrong information last? City has officially changed in May 2016. After that the decision was appealed, but it was not succesful and the name of the city remained Dnipro. Even though, there is no evidence of changing club's name, still it is based in Dnipro, not Dnipropetrovsk and so does the stadium. I don't understand the purpose of using old names of towns, which are almost gone out of use in official documents (I do not include here advertisments and some types of documemts, where it is used by mistake). Please stop reverting edits trying to make it right. RMN120501 (talk) 19:06, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Name used

Qed237 and Mapsed. There was a request for move protection at WP:RFPP for FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. After I protected it I saw the page had turned into a redirect. I looked at the talk page and saw the three month old consensus above. I was intending to move it back but thought first to look at the reference given as well as the official site. The official site, in English is FC Dnipro. The source used above is not consistent. On the line belwo where it says UEFA it uses Dnipro, and that is the same further down the page in the match results, but on the line below that, and in the league table, it has FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk. So now the article is at one title and fully protected in the version (there looked to be an edit war starting) that uses the longer name. Start a discussion here and if further moves are needed or and earlier unprotection of the page before the week is out then let me know.

@CambridgeBayWeather: You need to move the page back per the most recent RM above. It should not have been moved without a new discussion. Qed237 (talk) 22:48, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

@CambridgeBayWeather: Finally. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 22:50, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Qed237. Next time give me a few minutes to check things out. And one ping on my talk page would have been fine. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 22:57, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

You both have seen the List of Ukrainian toponyms that were changed as part of decommunization in 2016? --Mapsed (talk) 23:09, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Just because city officially changed name does not mean we have to move the article. Qed237 (talk) 10:24, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

The club's name doesn't necessarily slavishly follow the offical name of its location - see A.C. Milan. The page should remain at its current location unless there is evidence that the club has changed its name. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 10:41, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Qed237: @CambridgeBayWeather: As in the article stands: "Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the club took on the Ukrainian version name of Dnipro, the name of the biggest river and one of the major symbols of Ukraine." So, the location place - former Dnipropetrovsk, now Dnipro - has not been and is not a part of the official name, as you can see also in the Official Site of Football Club "Dnipro". --Mapsed (talk) 22:15, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Mapsed. I have no opinion as to where this article should be. Start a new section like the requested move already above and see where that goes. See Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves for the instructions. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 00:40, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

The first thing you see we clicking on the link given above (Official Site of Football Club "Dnipro") is a box next to the logo saying "FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk". Qed237 (talk) 10:34, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

@Qed237: First You see the official logo image: FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.svg: no mention of the location place and then the box
FC Dnipro
Dnipropetrovsk
The location place with its former name and smaller letters. Hopefully everybody will understand now.

It's not exactly conclusive. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 08:47, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
