Base Oostende → Basketball Club Oostende — Base Oostende is just the sponsor name, the club's official name is, as the article and the website state, Basketball Club Oostende or short BC Oostende. The sponsor's name is only used in the article's name if it is part of the club's name, for example Telekom Baskets Bonn or Brose Baskets, but that's not the case here. The same applies to Euphony Bree (officially Bree BBC), while Union Mons-Hainaut seems to have officially adopted the name Dexia Mons-Hainaut (not 100% sure, though). Anyway, I don't see a reason why sponsor names which aren't part of the club's official names should be part of the articles' names of Belgian clubs, while we consequently use official names in all other cases (for example, Victoria Libertas Pesaro's sponsor name Scavolini Pesaro hasn't changed since 1975, and the club is much better known by its sponsor name, but we correctly use the official name nevertheless). --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 11:09, 6 December 2009 (UTC) Oh, I forgot: The associated category's name still refers to the club's former sponsor name. So if we kept the sponsor name as the article's and the category's name, we would have to move the category everytime the club's sponsor name changed. I have already requested a move of the category, but is was declined. --Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 11:21, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved per request. Neither misformation of request nor lack of rationale is any kind of objection. The presumption is always in favor of moving without question unless there is a substantive opposition. This is what we call an uncontroversial move. - GTBacchus^(talk) 00:37, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

• Comment: badly formed request by User:Pick and roll [1] who has been here a year and is no newbie [2], no valid rationale - in fact none whatsoever, previous RM seems to have considered and rejected the shorter name see above, I'm tempted just to close this one rather than waste any more time on it.
