Talk:The Home of Football

The Home of Football

What do peeps make of this disambiguation page, is there anything else that should be on it? Govvy (talk) 19:18, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

This. Maybe run it by WP:RFD? JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 21:39, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

@Govvy: There is a logical argument that every single ground photographed by Stuart Roy Clarke by definition warrants inclusion in an expanded list. It then just becomes a Fork of Clarkes article. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 00:11, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

The term has been documented as early as January 1925, when The Times noted, in reference to the 1925 F.A. Cup, that Lancashire, which is still regarded as the home of football, has been favoured by the draw. (Ref: The F.A. Cup, The Times, 9 January 1925) However, by 1954 that same paper proclaimed The British Isles, for all recent events, will always remain the home of football,..." (Ref: British Football At The Crossroads, The Times, 26 May 1954)

The World's Oldest Library was deleted. At the time I did not agree but now, having seen The Home of Football, I am inclined to agree such redirects/disambiguators should simply be deleted. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 00:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

hmm, I don't know, but you did seem to remove what I thought was a valid link to an artist about his football exhibit. I am just trying to cover a search term, and wondered if anything else can come under this search term or not. But it's just two items on there at the moment and wondered if there was anything else that can be added. Govvy (talk) 11:18, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

I provided two further examples above. I have now bolded them for emphasis. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 09:26, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Wembley Stadium (1923) has a citation (No 26) to https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/england1966/ which has a quote, at the bottom, above "Follow us on", in the 2nd rotation of 4 boxes (in my laptop view) that says: "Hurst the hero for England in the home of football". From FIFA that looks to me authoritative enough to be considered a mention in the article, and therefore an entry on a disambiguation page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:20, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

@Shhhnotsoloud: . I cant see any mention of the Home of Football on that web page. Where does that link mention it? JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 12:50, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

@JorgeLaArdilla: it's in the rotating series of boxes towards the bottom of the page under "FIFA WORLD CUP™ TIMELINE". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:55, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Reverting edits on this page is now disruptive: please stop. Read WP:3RR before you continue. I have asked you to discuss at this Talk page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:59, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Please read WP:RS. You have not provided a reference to Wembley. JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 13:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

@JorgeLaArdilla: I don't understand you. I have provided a quote from reliable source (the FIFA website) about Wembley (where the 1966 FIFA World Cup final was held) that uses "home of football", a reference which is used in the article Wembley Stadium (1923). I said "that looks to me authoritative enough to be considered a mention in the article, and therefore an entry on a disambiguation page". The undiscussed blank and redirect of the disambiguation page should therefore be reverted. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 16:34, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

I cannot find any mention on the the FIFA website. I myself looked for a reference to support Wembley but could not find one JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 07:28, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@JorgeLaArdilla: It's here: File:Screenshot_FIFA_website_"the_home_of_football".png. Please ping me in any reply. Please now restore the disambiguation page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:31, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

C'mon, are you being serious?. That could refer to England or "Britain". JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 09:06, 28 March 2021 (UTC)

@JorgeLaArdilla: Yes, it might. But it doesn't refer to Dronfield. Can you think of a compromise here? Please ping me in any reply. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:06, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

The stadium to the north of Dronfield is officially "The Home of Football", providing the playing surface for Sheffield F.C., the world's oldest football club.(Club address) JorgeLaArdilla (talk) 10:26, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I know. This conversation is about things called Home of Football that aren't Sheffield F.C.'s ground. So, can you think of a compromise here? Please ping me in any reply. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:53, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
