Name
Shouldn't it be spelt Metalurg Donetsk in English, that's the way I've seen it spelt. Yonatanh 13:42, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- The team's English language website uses a third name, "Metallurg (Металлург in Russian) Donetsk. Sorry for the ukrainian nationalists, but the majority of the Donetsk's population are Russians, not Ukrainian. 86.101.113.73 (talk) 18:18, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Result was move.--Riurik(discuss) 06:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Per Wikipedia:NC#Sports_teams, the question is whether the official name of the sports team under consideration has "no ambiguity" or "some ambiguity".
I think that the team's name is ambiguous, because it does not have an English-language website/section, nor is it broadly recognizable, and it is easily confused with another team FC Metalurh Zaporizhya.
Therefore per above naming convention, which states and I quote: “ (2) in cases where there is some ambiguity as to the official spelling of a club's name in English, the name most commonly used by the English-language media should be used (as determined using the number of hits at Google News) ”
This name seems to be: FC Metalurh Donetsk
Results:
"fc metalurh donetsk" [1] - 202 with uefa
"fc metalurg donetsk" [2] - 3 with uefa
Without uefa:
"fc metalurh donetsk" -uefa [3] - 13
"fc metalurg donetsk" -uefa [4] - 0
Because of above, the article should be moved to FC Metalurh Donetsk.--Riurik(discuss) 21:15, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
