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)[reply]
Oppose per Qed237. Giant Snowman 07:29, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
