Middleton F.C. (1890) → Middleton F.C. – The original Middleton F.C. page was for a prominent football club from the 1890s. A user tried to delete the page (without warning) so that they could create a new page for a non-league club of no prominence. That having failed, they simply deleted all the text for the 1890 club, which got reverted; and then moved the 1890 club page to a new page, meaning the links to it were duly ruined. Now the "new" Middleton club has changed its name so these underhand shenanigans were all moot. Am proposing we put the 1890 club back to where it was created as there are no links to the new club - notably the person who made all these changes did so without contacting the page creator (me) once...

- Support move. With the new club having renamed themselves, the old one is obviously the primary topic. O.N.R. (talk) 09:02, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
