Names from Sponsors

edit

I have noticed that the article has been moved due to the change of naming sponsor. However, for Sun Hei SC and Tai Po FC, they still use their original name despite of sponsor changes. I am not sure which treatment should be used and I have no preference as well.

Is there a standard for this kind of issue? I just want the standard aligns among all articles. Checkiema (talk) 02:17, 31 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Not really. We have had teams in Hong Kong that was solely a promotional tool, like Seiko FC and Instant Dict FC, that disappeared when their parent company decided to stop. But then there were also teams that revert to its club name after losing its title sponsor, like Golden, which is now called Sunray Cave JC Sun Hei SC.

Fourway Athletics was not exactly a new club, it was formed by Philip Lee as a competition member so he could take Fourway's sponsorship money and keep his Rangers FC players to play in First Division, since Rangers FC was relegated. After Rangers FC gained promotion back to first division, he basically merged the two clubs back into one. Ngchikit (talk) 10:25, 1 Sept 2011.
