[edit] Rename

Per discussion at the AfD, where several contributors were uncomfortable with the current article name, I propose to rename the article Bayern Munich v Norwich City (1993). This is not a vote, or even a !vote, but an attempt to find some consensus by debate. Please contribute in this section. --Dweller 11:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure why we need to disambiguate with 1993 in the title since this is the only Bayern Munich v Norwich City game ever played? The title should be as short as it unambiguously can be. My suggestion is a simple Bayern Munich v Norwich City. TerriersFan 16:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
I was coming here to asking a rename, but I see there's already an ongoing discussion about the issue. I support Dweller's proposal, that is consistent with several other somewhat similar articles, such as England v Hungary (1953). --Angelo 01:28, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I'd err on the side of TerriersFan. I think that unless it needs to be disambiguated from another match, it doesn't need the year. The Rambling Man 14:23, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
In reply to Angelo, there have been other England v Hungary encounters hence the need to disambiguate. TerriersFan 16:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Anyone else? I'm inclined to go with the arguments that there's no need to disambiguate, until, erm, there's a need to disambiguate <grins> If no-one strongly objects in the interim, I'll move this page to Bayern Munich v Norwich City in a few hours. If this debate develops, I'll wait. If anyone posts "too late", there's no reason why it couldn't be moved again. --Dweller 09:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I don't think you need to worry, I can't see another BM v NCFC matchup in our lifetimes...! The Rambling Man 10:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Cheeky binman! --Dweller 11:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Olympic stadium

An editor changed one use of Olympic stadium to Olympiastadion. My view is that we should stick with the Anglicised version as in its WP article. Whichever form we use we should use the same form in each occurrence. I have also fixed the link to Olympic Stadium (Munich). TerriersFan (talk) 15:11, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
