Larvik TIFLarvik Turn & IF – This article was moved in April 2013, because there is a convention for Norwegian sports clubs with the name "Turn & Idrettsforening" to be shortened to TIF. In this case however, I believe the most used name of this club is "Larvik Turn" and thus we shouldn't shorten "Turn" to just a T. Not all clubs with the "TIF" suffix has used "Turn" as a part of their name, but I believe it was used to differ it from their locals rivals Fram Larvik, when they both played in the top league. We also have two other football clubs with the name "Larvik", Larvik Fotball and FK Larvik, so it would be better to have this article named "Larvik Turn & IF" or "Larvik Turn" to avoid confusion, given that that is its most common name. --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 12:51, 29 June 2013 (UTC) Mentoz86 (talk) 01:56, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Before I give my opinion one way or the other, can you provide some evidence that "Larvik TIF" is not a commonly use name for the club? Or at least that it is not as common as "Larvik Turn"? Based on what you've said, however, I would say that "Larvik Turn" is probably the best alternative name for the page. – PeeJay 16:54, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move to Larvik Turn per evidence given above by Mentoz86. – PeeJay 22:15, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
