This is a GAA club it is highly unlike they would consider them selfs in londonderry , sure the county board is called derry not londonderry (Gnevin 18:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC))Reply

No the geographical and political name for the county they are located in is called County Londonderry. They may choose to call it County Derry in their own usage ans in GAA names, but the county is still called County Londonderry. Ben W Bell talk 13:14, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
So when does the naming dispute can be discussed in the articles when appropriate. come into play it seems to me the this compromise is set in stone which is very stange for wiki where most thing are flexible (Gnevin 13:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC))Reply
It comes in when it's appropriate, and it's not appropriate for discussion in every article where the county name is brough up. Ben W Bell talk 13:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
I really think a bit of common sense would go a long way here, and Derry is more than adequate. (Derry Boi 09:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC))Reply
The article states where the club are, not the preference of the GAA County Board. As per the discussion on Wikipedia (see WP:IMOS), the county is referred to as Londonderry and the city of Derry, as a working compromise. This benefits non-locals unfamiliar with the naming issue.Blowmonkey 19:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Category duplication

At the time of writing this page has Category links with identical content. A proposal to delete categories relating to the GAA that use "Londonderry" (the name of the former administrative county) rather than "Derry" (the name of the GAA county) is under discussion. If you wish to contribute, follow the link from the "Londonderry" category. Brocach (talk) 19:06, 27 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
