En Avant de GuingampEA Guingamp — 21:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC).

Could you give a reason why this should be done? If not I would be inclined to oppose such a measure.--Jojhutton (talk) 13:35, 18 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi All!

I just want to let you know I'm going to be translating the French wiki article for EAG into English and I'll be adding it in to the English page when I get a chance. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanmcdyer (talkcontribs) 20:09, 23 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

En Avant GuingampEA Guingamp – Per WP:COMMONNAME (the article itself says that EA Guingamp is a common name of the club) and per the standard naming of Football|France=yes clubs. Paul Vaurie (talk) 20:39, 3 July 2021 (UTC) Relisting. No such user (talk) 12:42, 19 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

“the standard naming of Football|France=yes clubs” is the editing pattern of adding initials to club names for parts of the name that aren’t the common name. Like “RC Strasbourg Alsace” is not “Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace”, the RC is cut down. It’s just to describe the editing pattern for the naming of Football|France=yes clubs, particularly French ones. Look at Montpellier HSC, OGC Nice, Lille OSC… you get the point. It’s the standard way. En Avant should be cut to EA. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:39, 6 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. "EA Guingamp" is neither the common name nor the official name in English. Per WP:TITLEFORMAT: Abbreviations and acronyms are often ambiguous and thus should be avoided unless the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject. Acronyms are acceptable in cases like Liverpool F.C. and Lille OSC where the full title is easily inferred, but few would guess that "EA" stands for "En Avant".

Does it really matter that it would be "hard" to guess what EA stands for? I'm pretty sure you'd be surprised when guessing what OGC Nice stands for, for example. Paul Vaurie (talk) 12:18, 16 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
