Do we treat the current team in the West Yorkshire League as a continuation of this club and thus right the articles infobox with this in mind? Or do we treat them as seperate entities? - The Daddy 15:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

As far as I can tell this page is being treated much in the same way to many of the other clubs which have gone out of business in one way or another and then been re-started by another consortium, containing history of the original club and the more recently formed club. An example of this is Accrington Stanley F.C. having had two incarnations (excluding Accrington F.C. which would make it three). However if you feel like creating another article for the new club please create a separate article and leave the original clubs article here as generally people looking here are more likely to want info on the predicessor to Leeds United than the new Leeds City F.C.

I think the Accrington example is different as, as far as I know, the "new" Accrington Stanley was formed only a couple of years after the old one folded, by people who'd been involved in the old club, so there was a direct connection. In the case of Leeds City there was an 80+ year gap and it was more just a case of the founders of the club deciding it would be quite cool to revive the name of an old defunct club ChrisTheDude 07:33, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

My two-cents worth - they are completely seperate entities, with the current club deserving nothing more than a passing mention in this article. If the "new" club reach Level 10/Step 6 and merit their own article, then we should create two articles much along the lines of the Crystal Palace articles with links to each other. As they're still at W Yorkshire Division Two at the moment, it's not something we have to consider for a couple of years! This by extension means the Leeds City F.C. article should remain categorised as a "Defunct Football Club" - fchd 16:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm with Richard, the fact that the current club decided to pick the same name as a club that existed years ago does not make them a continutaion of the "lineage" of the old club, in the same way that (even though they appear to be trying!) the Sunday league team that decided to adopt the name Clapham Rovers can't claim to be former FA Cup winners......

Leeds City FC

Mixing information about the present non-league club with the professional League club that existed in the early 20th century is just confusing. They are two separate entities and should have separate articles if the present day club are notable enough to have an article at all. (86.145.190.52 (talk) 13:40, 28 December 2013 (UTC))
