== Hannover 96 == |

To reply - no, I do not think [[Bayern Munich]] should be at [[F.C. Bayern München]] which is why I've just moved it back. The point is, as the [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names)]] guideline clearly argues, that the most common name in English should be used. Which is [[Bayern Munich]] for the Munich-based club (look on any sports website and see that they use that), but [[Hannover 96]] for the Hanover-based club (look on almost all sports website or book and see that that's what's used).

So, you're setting a double standard. [[User:Kingjeff|Kingjeff]] 19:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |

:Nope. The standard is perfectly clear: Use whatever spelling is common in English - of the football club. If anyone should be accused of double standards, it's the news sources who use Hannover instead of Hanover, but then again there will always be debates about the spelling of things - which is why the most common spelling should be used in cases like these.

There is no debate about the spelling. The fact is it's only 1 n [[User:Kingjeff|Kingjeff]] 21:02, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |

:You can't ignore the fact that all the sources I've come up with spell it with two, and the most common way to spell the name of the football club is with two ns. It's what [[WP:V|our sources say that should count]], not some opinion of right and wrong spelling. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 21:08, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |

I can ignore them because they're wrong. [[User:Kingjeff|Kingjeff]] 22:44, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |

:[[WP:NPOV|In your opinion]]. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 22:52, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |

You're the 1 not showing a neutral point of view. You're quoting media resources which have biases. It is fact that in english that Hanover has 1 n. [[User:Kingjeff|Kingjeff]] 22:56, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |

:I am not asking to move [[Hanover]], I am asking to move [[Hanover 96]], because it simply isn't referred to with only one n. Show Wikipedia editors that the world conforms to that, and THEN you might have an argument, but as it stands the world isn't listening to your view when it comes to talking about the football club. [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 23:05, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |

But the word Hanover is still refering to the city even is it's in a soccer team's name.[[User:Kingjeff|Kingjeff]] 23:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC) |
|||
:Oh well, you've made your point and I've made mine. No point in arguing for ever; the article will stay at Hanover unless a significant amount of people come to the talk page and say it should be Hannover. Sorry for being a bit confrontational.
