Albion Rovers F.C. (Scotland) → Albion Rovers F.C. — This club is much much better known and more notable than the Welsh club of the same name. I believe the Scottish club should have the main namespace, although of course the dablink to the Welsh club should remain in place —ChrisTheDude 08:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Support: The Scottish club are far more well known than the Welsh club, which play at a very low level. — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 08:47, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Support - Yeah I agree, and perhaps the welsh club page should be deleted because it appears to fail WP:ORG. --Тhε Rαnδom Eδιτor 22:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Not so sure - it did play in the Welsh Football League, which is a level at which clubs are notable. Number 5 7 12:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Support This club is by far the better known, and is the original (I believe the Welsh one is actually named after it). Number 5 7 12:34, 19 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support I would say they are easily the more well known club as I wasn't even aware of the Welsh club until seeing this Thurls 09:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support as comments above. The Scottish club is the better known. Like Thurls, I hadn't heard of the Welsh club before. --Malcolmxl5 02:10, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support The more well known (Scottish) club should have the main namespace. Jogurney 20:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Support Never heard of the Welsh club. In addition, all it takes is a cup draw against a big Premier team for the Scottish Albion to become more prominent and receive many more searches than normal - this won't happen for the Welsh team. Fedgin | Talk 13:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
