• Door Ons Vrienden Opgericht → VV DOVO
• DOVO: redirect → disambiguation DONE

– Door Ons Vrienden Opgericht, although the official long-form, is hardly ever used. VV DOVO is closer to the most common name (DOVO) and used alongside this name. It's what nlwiki uses and what is written on the club's official logo. In addition, suggesting that DOVO, now a redirect to a German company, will become a disambiguation page. gidonb (talk) 21:37, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Just to clarify why the discussion went to Talk:VV DOVO. Someone had tried to make the change I am suggesting by copy and paste. This was correctly undone but perhaps not all the way. So Talk:VV DOVO is currently associated with the article Door Ons Vrienden Opgericht. gidonb (talk) 21:43, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

If this move proposal fails,we'll need to move Talk:VV DOVO over the redirect Talk:Door Ons Vrienden Opgericht. If it succeeds, they'll be realigned as part of the article move. So for now let's just live with the misalignment. 94.21.78.115 (talk) 12:47, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Correct. Thank you! gidonb (talk) 23:36, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

• Support. It doesn't require any discussion to turn a redirect into a disambiguation page, so I've done that without prejudice to this discussion. As it stands, it appears that DOVO Solingen gets a supermajority of hits, and not many came via the redirect. But the number of hits is quite small for both. 94.21.78.115 (talk) 12:35, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for creating the disambiguation page, 94.21.78.115!

• Move over DOVO as WP:ONEOTHER, WP:COMMONNAME. The football club is clearly the primary topic by the number of page views. 94.21.252.157 (talk) 17:52, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

  Hi Trains2050, I have to disagree with you on this one. By your own comparison, DOVO Solingen receives substantially more hits. Now this comparison isn't all telling, so I looked at the top 10 news items, where hl=us (sample could be biased in NL and DE). The results were 7 out of 10 DOVO Solingen, 2 out of 10 VV DOVO, and 1 out 10 carries another meaning (related to a university). gidonb (talk) 09:34, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
