Global Makati F.C. → Global F.C. – club renamed to just "Global F.C." Hariboneagle927 (talk) 10:30, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

@Hariboneagle927 and Kingboyk: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:38, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

• @Hariboneagle927: Shouldn't this info be in the History section - where the last mention of the name is "the club reverted to Global Makati" - rather than hidden away amongst discussion of the crest? I will, however, perform the move on the basis of what is written in that latter section. --kingboyk (talk) 16:41, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose - no sources provided, and sources I can find such as Soccerway still say 'Global Makati'. GiantSnowman 18:11, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose. Premature at best. Much to the surprise of many, the article title policy does not support automatically changing article titles to conform to official name changes, see wp:official names for an exploration of this. We must instead watch for the adoption of the change, see wp:NAMECHANGES. Andrewa (talk) 18:28, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

2020 crest

The current crest of the club is still has heavy borders as per their main profile page on Facebook but a borderless version of the current crest has been previously used (also used as the main profile photo of the club's official Instagram account). For consistency sake, the former is in my opinion better. Also if you look at the crest used on latest materials of Global FC, the version with the heavy borders (instead of the borderless version used as main Instagram profile photo) is used.

Crest usage summary:

• Facebook Profile Photo – Border-heavy ver.
• Instagram Profile Photo – Borderless ver.
• Instagram Announcement New Goalkeeping Coach, Head coach, and Assistant Coach – Border-heavy ver. (small on footer)
• Instagram 2020 season initial roster – Border-heavy ver. (small on footer)
• Official Tracksuit Mockup on Instagram – Border-heavy ver. used on the tracksuit mockups themselves

Im reverting back to the border-heavy version. Recent crest usage clearly indicates that the current borderless version is just a stylized version of the current club crest.

Inviting the original uploader of the borderless version of the crest (0227adina) and others as well, for input.

Global Makati F.C. → Global F.C. – This is the new name of the club. This is long overdue. My rationale for the move for this time around is.

• The old name is inaccurate, especially that the club played as Global Cebu in the 2019 Philippines Football League (PFL) season. If WP:NAMECHANGES would apply, the name should still be "Global Cebu", despite the club, at least according to itself had officially renamed themselves as "Global Makati". The club was still referred to as Global Cebu because of licensing issues therefore it could be said that as far as with the PFL is concerned the official name of the club is "Global Cebu". They haven't even played at Makati, last season.

• The official name of the club as per the league is only Global, as per a quote from the Philippine Football Federation Edwin Gastanes himself:

And pwede namang magpalit ng pangalan ang club, just like Global Cebu... you know Global F.C. nalang. From Filipino: 'And its allowable to change a club's name, just like in Global Cebu... you know now simply (known as) Global F.C.'

— Edwin Gastanes, PFF General Secretary on Ceres-Negros potentially changing their name in an event of takeover of a new management., PFF Press Conference (July 8, 2020) around 47:00

• As per WP:NAMECHANGES, the club has been refered as just Global F.C. along with other member clubs with their "full names" (Ceres Negros of Negros Island, Stallion Laguna of Laguna province, etc.). National and regional news sites such as BusinessWorld, Philippine Daily Inquirer, ABS-CBN News.

• Global FC" could be argued as the WP:COMMONNAME for the club. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 10:42, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
