This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. The reviewer would like to request the editor with a COI attempt to discuss with editors engaged in the subject-area first.

Please change this page title from "Newington Youth F.C." to "Newington F.C."

The Club is officially registered with the Irish FA as Newington Youth Club Football Club but has never gone by the title "Newington *Youth* F.C.". The Club is known in local football circles, and refers to itself, as Newington FC. The Club's official badge also reads: Newington Football Club.

The website states:

Our senior team competes in the NIFL Championship 2; playing our home games at Seaview. Our second team play in the Ballymena & Provincial League. Our U18s play their games in the NIFL Youth League, while Newington Youth FC provide footballing opportunities to the area’s young people.

It appears that this is not an alien term to them, if it is mentioned on their homepage. Perhaps what is needed is for the article to mention all of the different named iterations of the teams. It mentions a few in the lead section, but it doesn't really elaborate upon them. Do you have any suggestions on how this may be better explained in the article, the differences between the named teams? Please advise. Regards, Spintendo ᔦᔭ 14:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

No sign of the page sources supporting the new titles. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 11:32, 26 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Page now has two sources detailing new club name: [1] & [2]. In addition, link to club website which was an already-present page source is marked as http://www.newingtonfc.com. A casual Google search reinforces the name change. Andygray110 (talk) 01:17, 27 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, I see that your Facebook and Twitter are showing the new name, but you really should make an effort to get the webmaster of this site to get up-to-date:
- https://www.nifootballleague.com/bluefin-sport-premier-intermediate/clubs/newington-yc/fixtures
- https://www.nifootballleague.com/bluefin-sport-premier-intermediate/clubs/newington-yc/results

  - I agree they should update it, but I don't see why this would be my responsibility. Also to clarify, they are not my Facebook or Twitter, and I have no affiliation with the club and I'm not a supporter. Although given that the Irish Football Association is referring to them as Newington FC, and they are the governing body for association football in Northern Ireland, and furthermore that the County Antrim FA is the regional body for football within County Antrim (which Newington falls into), I think that would outweigh the (as you correctly say) not-up-to-date website.
