A couple of questions about your user name edit

Is this account actually used by the Egyptian Premier League, as an organisation, or is are you just an individual person who decided to use that as a Wikipedia user name? If it does represent the organisation, is it just used by one person on behalf of that organisation, or is it a shared account?

  • No, just an individual. If the name is not allowed, can i change it to Egyptian PL Fan?

El Fanar SC edit

Hi there, I noticed you moved the article Al Fanar SC. Although currently unreferenced, I've just done a quick Google search and I'm not sure the new title satisfies WP:COMMONNAME. Could you add references to justify the new name please? Thanks, Nzd (talk) 02:29, 27 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

The word has two pronunciations, El Fanar = The lighthouse, is the correct native pronunciation used in Egypt. Just like El Fanar restaurant- Sharm El Sheikh

I don't disbelieve you, it's just that Google brings up a load of results for Al Fanar. I realise the Google test is not entirely reliable, but it's often a good indication, particularly for WP:COMMONNAME ("as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources"). If you could reference the change that'd be great. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 05:20, 27 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for doing that. These refs relate to the word itself rather than the club though. Are there any references that specifically relate to the club using 'El' rather than 'Al'? Thanks again, Nzd (talk) 14:45, 1 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I've raised this on WT:FOOTY for additional input as I'm still not sure this satisfies WP:COMMONNAME. It would be great if you could be part of that discussion. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 02:20, 15 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hi, per the above conversations and the article talk page, this has been moved back. I would suggest that any further move should be done through WP:RM and would need to be confirmed by relevant references. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 12:53, 16 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
