Scudetto Shield

Looks nice, but do we need it on the main page? Celtic's main page doesn't have a similar display, and they also won the Scottish title on the weekend. I think one of those succession boxes for the Serie A champions would be enough. INTER 4 EVER-RomeW 00:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Manchester United target, Wesley Sneijder has been seen at Manchester airport this morning, with a possible move to United, rumoured to be around £32.5 million, seeming more likely. 

The Dutchman hasn't quite come to level terms with new Inter Milan coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, and his arrival in Manchester has sparked more speculation about his desire to make a move to the Premier League champions. United director, David Gill was also seen in Milan a few weeks ago, "I met with Wesley, in Milan, and no offers were made. We'll see what will happen. We are still hopeful of a deal," he said when asked about Sneijder's arrival. More transfer speculation is to follow as the 'Sneijder-Saga' continues. 09/08/2011 01:45am

The Official Name of the Inter's society

1908 At the beginning of the century, Milan derbies did not exist. At that time there was only "Milan Cricket and Football Club" (now AC Milan). But on 9 March 1908, a group of rebels form "Football Club Internazionale Milano". The name of the club derives from the wish of its founding members to accept foreign players as well as Italians, hence the name Internazionale. Indeed, the first captain of the side is a Swiss player - Hernst Manktl. The club colours are gold, black and blue, a tradition which has been kept right up to the present day. Inter is the best team in the world.

The official name is FC Internazionale Milano, NOT Internazionale FC.

Official Site: http://www.inter.it/en/societa/storia.html

The name per official site and uefa.com is F.C. Internazionale Milano

Per lega-calcio.it is Internazionale F.C.

So moved. Matt86hk talk 14:26, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

The emblem

If the club is officially called Internazionale,why does the emblem says it's Inter?(didn't it fit on the emblem)

Does anyone know how long Italian organizational copyright lasts? The answer is vital to whether the logo can now be considered public domain.--Jusjih 17:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Abbreviation

Football Club Internazionale Milano has never been abbreviated to "Inter Milan"! Milan is the name of the opposite club! I removed that sentence. // CioDu 13:07, 17 July 2005 (UTC)

• If you go to the club's website, you'll see a text in English, which says "WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEB SITE OF INTER MILAN" (bolding by me). So Internazionale is being abbreviated to "Inter Milan", even by the club itself. So the abbreviation belongs in the article. Aecis 15:30, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
• Besides, if you google for "Inter Milan", you get no less than 744,000 hits. So it's more than safe to say that Internazionale is commonly abbreviated to Inter Milan. And it would make sense, because Milan is simply the English name for the city of Milano. Calling the club Inter Milan distinguishes it from for instance Inter Bratislava. Aecis 09:27, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

• I accept that the sentence "WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL WEB SITE OF INTER MILAN" appears on the front page of the website. It does not, however, appear anywhere else on the website. Nor does it appear anywhere on the club badge; it being abbreviated to the more usual Inter. If you are an Interisti (or even if you aren't) you should know that Internazionale aren't referred to as "Inter Milan" by anyone with a smattering of knowledge of Calcio Italia. user:mike1971inter 08:20, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
• I'm not an Interisti (in Italy, I like Samp best), but I do have more than "a smattering of knowledge of Calcio Italia." And "Inter Milan" ìs commonly associated with Internazionale. The Google Test in itself is proof enough. Ofcourse it's not the only name associated with Internazionale (Juve isn't the only name associated with Juventus either), but the association is there. Aecis 09:03, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
• The Google test doesn't offer any proof. It merely proves that a lot of people/sites are inccorectly referring to Internazionale as Inter Milan. It doesn't mean they are right however. Forza Samp! (My second team in Italia). Mike1971inter 10:23 19 July 2005
• It doesn't prove that they are right, and it doesn't prove that they are wrong. It only proves that the association is common, which is exactly what the intro stated. Aecis 09:30, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

• Perhaps the google test proves something: it proves that, outside Italy, "Inter Milan" is a common abbreviation for Internazionale Milano. Given this, my everyday experience in Italy proves that here nobody abbreviates Internazionale Milano to "Inter Milan" so maybe we could simply explain this difference in the article.
  Note: in case you need more proof that "Inter Milan" is not a common abbreviation in Italy, simply google for "Inter Milan" on Italian language pages only: except for the first result (an error of the webmaster, since that page is not in Italian) all the pages refer to Inter vs Milan matches:
  http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&q=inter+milan&btnG=Cerca+con+Google&meta=lr%3Dlang_it
  // CioDu 10:58, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Here in Italy we use "Inter" to refer to the club, "Internazionale" or "Inter Milan" or any other names aren't used, they're only official names. It is known that Interisti and many Inter-people (like Moratti, Prisco, Facchetti) dislike the term "Internazionale" and they appoint who use that term. So Inter is Inter, and it's Internazionale or Inter Milan only for the official docs. (this was only to make order in your ideas, sorry for my english)

Move

Please, don't move the page using "cut-and-paste" technique. Use WP:RM procedure instead. Thanks. Monkbel 17:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

And if you do move it, please sort out double redirects. Or don't move it.--Audiovideo 18:01, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

The complete side's name is Internazionale Milano F.C. so the articles Internazionale and Internazionale Milano F.C. have to be swapped. The standard for all other sport team's articles is to have the complete name on it... why does Inter have to be different? CapPixel 09:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC) The Official name by U.E.F.A is "F.C. Internazionale Milano".

If you're sure that you will gain support about it, you should begin a vote. You could use guidelines from WP:RM. --Monkbel 21:54, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree with CapPixel, however it has to be redirected from "Inter" 'cause an Italian person will never search for Internazionale Milano F.C., in the same way a non-italian person will search for "Inter Milan". It is sure only that nobody will search for "Internazionale"...

I've already post the move proposal on WP:RM, but nobody is voting it. There's another swap to be done: Talk:A.C. Ancona Calcio. CapPixel 09:18, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Recent statistical report?

can you at least cite the source of that survey? this is an encyclopedia, not an Inter fan site. If the anonymous "recent statistical report" deserves to be in the article, than surely the fact that Milan has more trophies than Inter does too. Milan and Inter have an intense rivalry and it MUST be noted that Inter is the less successful of the 2 big Milanese clubs. -Kane December 05.

If the assertion that Milan is the more popular club than Inter is to be included, could there at least be some link to the reference that proves this claim. The statement about Milan having won more cups than Inter is true, but is there a need for this to be mentioned here? Are we to state on Milan's entry that they have won more cups than Inter, or that they have won more than Ipswich Town? It seems unnecessary to me. Mike1971inter 10:42, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

As I explained above Mike1971, Milan and Inter have an intense rivalry, they share a stadium, and there is much animosity between the supporters of the 2 clubs. The fact that Milan has more trophies than Inter is relevant the same way any discussion of Manchester City should include the fact that it is the less successful of the 2 big Manchester clubs. The same goes for Real/Atletico, Roma/Lazio, Spurs/Arsenal, etc. As far as the Lombardy/Global popularity claim, there is more that goes into a club's popularity than attendances at home matches. in the area of television rights, ratings, kit sales and overall global brand recognition can you really dispute that Milan is ahead of Inter? To take nothing away from inter, which is one of the great clubs in all the world, but Milan clearly is more popular. Regardless, I find it curious that you want a reference for the popularity claim, but don't seem to need one for the "recent statistical report" that says Inter is #2 in Italy in terms of popularity. Inter's web site is www.inter.it. There you will be able to find a biased take on the club and it's history. However, wikipedia is an encyclopedia and doesn't necessarily have to present the facts most favorable to Inter Milan. That being said, I propose both claims be left out until either one can be backed up by some FACTS. -Kane December 05.

Thanks for the patronising history lesson. I'm fully aware of the rivalry between Inter & Milan, and the existence of Inter's website. I'd have thought that my name would have given the game away, but nevermind. To pick you up on a couple of points: Inter and Milan both have the same TV rights deal with SKY Sports Italia. You claim that TV rating and kit sales are higher for Milan? I'd like to see you prove this erroneous assertion. Attendances for Inter home games are consistently the same or a little higher than Milan's. I agree with you about the 'recent statistical report', it shouldn't have been added by the contributer concerned. One final point: I think you have got your points a bit mixed-up at the end of your comment about Inter's website and the encyclopaedic nature of Wikipedia. Mike1971inter 09:10, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Mike thanks for correcting me on the "impartial" mistake. What I meant to say was "partial" or better yet "biased." Mike, I don't have time to look up the stats you want me to look up. That's why I haven't added my claims to the article recently. However, I want to ask you man to man, are you really disputing that AC Milan is more popular throughout the world than Inter? Just answer me yes or no then I'll know for sure whether I'm dealing with a rational person or a rabid Interisti who will never acknowledge the truth. The only recent era where that might have been true was when Ronaldo was on the team. As an Inter supporter, why would you even care if your club is more popular or not? It's just the obvious truth, man. I know it in my gut the same way I know Man U. is more popular than Milan, and Real is the most popular of them all. I don't need any statistics or data to know that. The same way I know that Sheva is a better striker than Martins. That being said, I will leave my claims out because I do not have the data.

My intention was not to be patronising. If that's how it came across, I apologize. It's just that it would be a shame to see Wikipedia's football club articles become holy shrines of the respective clubs. For example, why is there no mention that despite the record spending on players by Inter over the last decade or so, eclipsed perhaps only by Real Madrid and post-Abramovich Chelsea, Inter has not won a single scudetto or Champions league(or even come close for that matter, except one year or two in the league, I believe, and of course the semi-final defeat in the Champions to Milan). Inter has consistently had the deepest team talent-wise in all of Europe (and the world) over the past decade, yet have virtually nothing to show for it. Don't you think that deserves more than a passing mention? Should I go to the Milan article and erase the part about Istanbul? There are places all over the internet(team site, fan sites) where we can show and talk about Inter in the most positive way possible. People come to Wikipedia to learn, and if the articles don't have any balance to them, they will walk away with an incomplete story. -Kane December 05

Just an addition here, Inter's fan base in Asia and Africa is absoultely huge especially in China, I have articles to back that up just not on the web I shall research it and comeback to you. To be honest Im not to sure who is more popoular but it is very close and with Inters huge exposure with their youth development camps in Africa and Asia certainly adds to Inters case.

Youth players in the squad

I am going to remove all the players who are part of the youth squad and, thus, have not played any match for the first team. The article is a mess as it is now, if someone wants to add this terrific list, please join this discussion: anyway, I will not support it. --Angelo 08:31, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Inter Youth

I strongly agree with Angelo this article needs some major clean up and I believe that the youth squad should have there own article. The Inter Youth article could have the current youth players along with the Youth titles. Any other opinions on this topic? Abreuzinho 14:32, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Just like Real Madrid Castilla & FC Barcelona B. And should include some result of Primavera Cup & Primavera league. Matt86hk talk 05:14, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

So what should the article be named? Abreuzinho 15:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

There's a subtle but relevant difference between the Real Madrid Castilla and the Inter's youth team: the first one plays a professional league, whereas the Inter youth team is part of a parallel, youth-only, tournament, which actually has no kind of interest from both media and fans. My opinion is we should remove all the youth team squads, since its players usually do not agree the notability principles. Instead, I guess a paragraph about the youth organization of the team (without the squads) inside the current article would be an acceptable idea. --Angelo 16:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The article also mentions Youth Trophies in my opinion it should go as well, this article is about the first team not the youth ones. Abreuzinho 20:47, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

There's neither any difference or separation between the main team and the youth one in Italy; should we make an article for each youth team? It's not just Primavera, there are several grades (Allievi Nazionali, Allievi Regionali, Giovanissimi, and down to the 9-years-old Pulcini), so the comparison with the Spanish teams is simply impossible. Sorry but I can't see how an article solely dedicated to Inter's youth levels could be notable enough even for surviving a deletion process. Just a paragraph for a not-so-exceptional youth team (you know, the better ones are Juventus, Empoli, Atalanta, Torino and others) is far enough for the issue. --Angelo 22:20, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Or just keep Primavera, On Liverpool F.C., Celtic F.C. they have a reserve/youth squad list. And Manchester United F.C. Academy is a subpage. Matt86hk talk 04:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

In fact the "Man Utd academy" article now seems to have been submitted for deletion. In addition, I do not agree with the opportunity to include the youth squad lists in any football club article, except if the team plays in a pro league (such as Real Madrid Castilla), since it's merely a list of non-notable players. That's all. --Angelo 11:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

There is Liverpool F.C. Reserves also. Matt86hk talk 14:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Look at that article, and then tell me what kind of content a standalone article would add. I don't see any kind of possible expansion in it (as in a supposed Inter Primavera article), so a paragraph is quite sufficient. --Angelo 14:55, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Leonardo Bonucci

He's listed twice under the U-20 team, under different shirt numbers - unless he's cloned himself... which number is correct? If I had to guess, I'd pick the higher one (after all, since he made his 1st team debut this season, I would assume he was given a higher number to reflect his status), but I don't follow Inter one bit, so I can't say. ugen64 23:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Patrick Vieira

I'm not sure why it was changed in the first place and now reverted back to Patrick Vieira now playing for Inter. The news was already reported weeks ago that he will move there so there was no point in keeping him on Juventus. Next time try to be more aware of what you're actually doing when you revert what has been placed.

Some Topics

I have a couble of topics to talk about in this article.

• First of all, the famous player section has an over done amount of players, there should be only around half as much, some players aren't even notable at all but are still included.
• I realy don't think the championship squad for each title should be listed, it's too much. If the information is to be included make an article for Inters title and list the information there, ex. FC Barcelona in Europe.

Juve fans bitter?

"Juventus fans will be bitter to see their star players, such as Patrick Vieira and Zlatan Ibrahimović leave for Inter.." Is there any source for this? Why would Juve fans be bitter? In fact, we (Juve fans) consider them traitors. That's a well known fact. 12:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I think its fair to assume that a club's fans would be bitter to see their star players go straight to their rivals! You can be all macho and consider them "traitors" to soften your disappointment and enter a mild state of denial. Especially as both players were performing very well for Juventus at the time, unlike Ronaldo going to AC Milan after leaving Inter after his peak and then moving to them from Real Madrid.

Period in Top Flight

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_Milan#Other_historical_information

There it claims that Inter have lasted 99 years in the top flight, the longest of any club in the world. However, I can go to the Celtic history page where it claims that Celtic have played in the top flight of Scottish football since 1888, which with a few presses of the calculator comes to more than 100!

I really like the new away jersey. It's a bold statement, claiming to be #1 in Milan. This flag with red cross is in fact the flag of St. Ambrose (Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397). Maybe the St. Ambrose cross was inspired by the St.Geroge cross or the other way around, I really heave no idea, input anyone?

Failed Talents

I personally dont think that this should be excluded, the overpaid ridiculous signings are a big part of Inter's recent history. Furthermore, the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Matthias Sammer, Kanu, Mikel Silvestre etc etc etc who may have flourished elsewhere in the world failed miserably at Inter. They were overpaid and well no other word can describe them but failures.

As an Inter fan I don't like the way that these players have escaped the fact that they were very very poor at Inter Milan. The list is huge and if it is not going to be recorded on the actual wikipedia page then I shall name and shame them here.

Bergkamp, Kanu, Silvestre, West, Gresko, Pancev, Shalimov, Simic, Jonk, Vampeta, Caio, Rambert, Gilberto, Blanc, Jugovic, Sammer, Ze Elias, Rivas, Vivas, Camara, Kone, Frey, Farinos, Batistuta, Sousa, Sforza, Schifo, Winter, Mboma, Sukur ETC ETC ETC

There are probably a whole lot more there but like I say, Batistuta regarded as footballing legend worldwide was absolutely awful at Inter. Inters ridiculous obsession with signing any old big name in the 1990s early 00's is a major part of their history and I think there should be more emphasis on it for the page.

First, a list of "ridiculous signings" is blatantly POV, and highly subjective.

He did not play for Macedonia yet, so his "sports nationality" is still Swedish (he played for Sweden at the youth level), a fact that definitely overrides a simple declaration. Feel free to switch it to Macedonia once he makes his debut for that team. --Angelo (talk) 11:37, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Giovanni Paramithiotti, he is the first president of Inter not the one you incompetents have put over there. He is originally from Paramithia which is in Epirus(Cameria), at the time Albania.

Mario Balotelli is Italian, not from Ghana !!!!

In the line up it previously had the flag of Ghana next to Mario Balotelli. Mario was born in Italy not Ghana. His parents are from Ghana !!

Unfortunately Mario Balotelli still has no Italian citizenship, as you probably know, so he cannot be considered as an Italian just because he is not. He will be able to require Italian citizenship once he turns 18 (on next August). --Angelo (talk) 15:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Inter edit: Out on loan. Philippe Coutinho

Hello (sleep *cough*)

My username is Fuwikepedia, this does not reflect anything else other than boredom when I first signed up.

I recently have tried and tried to edit the out on loan part of Inter with no success. Someone keeps on deleting my edits. It is only one, it has to do with Philippe Coutinho from CR Vasco da Gamma. He was bought last year at age 17 by Inter and has been left in the club for a while until 2010 for him to develop and then he will be brought to Inter.

Thus I ask, Is there something wrong that I am doing? I put a very credible quote is #10, it is from FIFA and I think it should be allowed to stay. I am not vandalizing the page, I am just adding and contributing to the players that are indeed out on loan.

Why is my contribution of Philippe Coutinho keep getting erased?

Coutinho is not on loan. He was signed by Inter on a permanent basis, provided that the move will be effective when he will be 18. It cannot be defined as a loan due to the fact he is not a Inter player yet, so Inter just cannot loan him to some other club; this can be compared to what happened when AC Milan signed a 17-year old Alexandre Pato, with the only difference the signing club decided for Pato to join AC Milan's squad immediately, even if he was not technically an AC Milan player yet. --Angelo (talk) 12:13, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much. But I thought it would fall under that category of loan since the article I got from fifa said that he had been bought...thus he is a property of Inter....he can play rigt now... technically I guess.... since they do own him...but they just chose to leave him be for 2 year at vasco da gamma.... anyways.. thank you so much for your insight.

much regards I love f. coutinho man...he is wicked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuwikepedia (talk • contribs) 20:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

He can't actually play with Inter until he turns 18, as stated by FIFA's Article 19 on international transfers involving minor-age players: "International transfers of players are only permitted if the player is over the age of 18." [1]. --Angelo (talk) 22:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, someone put Kerlon in Inter Milan as well and I edited this player, he is in chievo verona and someone put him in inter....is this a joke? or someone just playing around?

Kerlon is the best.

Kerlon is not on Inter he is in Chievo Verona. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuwikepedia (talk • contribs) 16:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello so I found out that he has been bought by Inter... is it true that this guy KERLON has had 2 knee surgeries?? wow!... is he going to last on Inter with that many surgeries at age 19?? 16:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)16:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)16:18

DIEGO MILITO WILL WEAR THE NUMBER 22 SHIRT ACCORDING TO THE INTER WEBSITE.

IF YOU CLICK ON THE NEW SHIRTS FOR SALE IT HAS A LIST OF SHIRTS AND NUMBERS FOR PERSONALIZATION. THE ONLY CHANGES COMFIRMED ARE IBRAHIMOVIC WILL WEAR THE NUMBER 10 SHIRT AND MILITO THE NUMBER 22. MARIO BALOTELLI WILL STILL WEAR THE NUMBER 45 SHIRT, WHY HAS IT GOT ON THIS PAGE THAT MILITO WIL 11 SHIRT ?

Note: previous owner of no. 22, goalkeeper Paolo Orlandoni, will switch to no. 21. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.34.202.164 (talk) 22:01, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Grande Inter paragraph

The ending of the above mentioned paragraph seems a bit odd to me: Inter`s run of success under Trappatoni didn`t end with the Scudetto of 1989. The UEFA Cup triumph of 1991 at least deserves to be mentioned. After all, the competition was usually much higher rated back then, in the pre-Champions League era, than it has been in more recent years. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.168.201.122 (talk) 23:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree, the page should be expanded for the 70's and 80's I agree Trappatoni's side was very strong, but it is not comparable to Herrara's team in the 60's. 3 league titles 2 champions cups 2 intercontental cups and 3 runners up in serie a, runner up in the coppa italia and also another runner up in the champions cup. Cannot and will not ever compare to a serie a title, italian supercup and uefa cup....therefore if mentioned a separate section should be created for each decade.

Moving/Renaming article

Per NCA#Acronym_usage_in_article_body [2] I'm thinking of removing the periods in this name. BabyJonas (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

That is about the article body, not the name. Please note all Italian and English club articles have full dots (Chelsea F.C., Manchester United F.C., A.C. Milan...) as they are favoured in such countries, differently than other countries such as Spain (FC Barcelona, e.g.). Please do not move this article without a wider consensus about such issues. --Angelo (talk) 10:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry but this article makes great mistakes. The name of this team is INTER. F.C.

If you call it Inter Milan it sounds like the derby, the writer of this article is a complete retard.

The official club website does not agree, INTER is not before the rest. It say 'F.C. Internazionale Milano Spa' in their copyright notice.. Regardless of the meaning of 'Inter Milan' to Italians the article currently says it's only referred to as this outside Italy. This is the English version of Wikipedia.

Stadium Name

In this article, the stadium is referred to as 'Stadio Giuseppe Meazza', which directs to the page titled San Siro. The AC Milan page has 'San Siro'. Surely the two should be the same? Bertcocaine (talk) 09:57, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Surely the 'modern history' of Inter Milan began before 2008. Perhaps the section should be merged with the previous section, or renamed.--Johnsemlak (talk) 13:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Political leanings

Overall in the last years, Inter supporters, according to all the polls, are more left-leaning. In our days, in Milan the Inter supporters are centre-left leaning and the Milan supporters right-wing (also for their owner). I think it's an important thing to say. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.40.32.11 (talk) 13:04, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Edit request from Transfergossip, 9 August 2011

I want the following transfer news uploaded on the Milan main page. Thank you. The info is as follows

Manchester United target, Wesley Sneijder has been seen at Manchester airport this morning, with a possible move to United, rumoured to be around £32.5 million, seeming more likely. The Dutchman hasn't quite come to level terms with new Inter Milan coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, and his arrival in Manchester has sparked more speculation about his desire to make a move to the Premier League champions. United director, David Gill was also seen in Milan a few weeks ago, "I met with Wesley, in Milan, and no offers were made. We'll see what will happen. We are still hopeful of a deal," he said when asked about Sneijder's arrival. More transfer speculation is to follow as the 'Sneijder-Saga' continues. 09/08/2011 01:45am

Club name in infobox

Currently the "clubname" parameter in the infox uses "Internazionale". However, the instructions for that infobox for "clubname" states "The commonly-used name of the club" (read it here). "Internazionale" is in no way the most commonly used name for the club in English media. By far the most commonly used names are "Inter Milan" or just "Inter". I know that this is an ongoing edit war (along with "AC Milan" vs. just "Milan") and no one is ever going to be happy but if we follow the instructions of the infobox then it seems clear we should use "Inter Milan". If "Inter" would be less controversial then I think that would be fine too, but not only is "Internazionale" rarely used I doubt that most English-only speakers would even know how to pronounce it. Thoughts anyone? SQGibbon (talk) 00:59, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Requested move

F.C. Internazionale Milano → Inter Milan – This is an open-and-shut WP:COMMONNAME case in my mind, indeed even the lead sentence of the article says "commonly known as Inter Milan outside of Italy". It may be true that "Internazionale Milano" is the common/proper name in Italian, but COMMONNAME says to use English sources, and it is undeniable that the vast majority of English-language sources use "Inter Milan". A few examples of this include this ngram and just going to google news, I get 4,240 hits for "Inter Milan" compared to only 294 for "Internazionale Milano". In addition, the proposed title meets more of the WP:NAMINGCRITERIA than the current one, especially recognisability and naturalness. Jenks24 (talk) 14:17, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose, both UEFA and FIFA refers to the club as FC Internazionale Milano. Both are English sources and highly relevant to the matter at hand. --Reckless182 (talk) 14:32, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Yes, and while those sources should be given some weight, we do not use the official names for titles, we use the most common name. Do you disagree that Inter Milan is the common name? Jenks24 (talk) 14:39, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
    • I am well aware of that. WP:COMMONNAME says: "The most common name for a subject, as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources". FIFA and UEFA are two very good examples of "reliable English-language sources". I hardly think that all 4,240 google hits for Inter Milan are equally reliable as FIFA and UEFA. I think these sources should be given a lot more than "some weight" since they are the governing entities of World and European football respectively. Maybe it would help your case to cite a couple of reliable source instead of a google count? --Reckless182 (talk) 14:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
      • That's why I used google news, not just a generic google search – practically every gnews hit will be reliable. That said, your request is fair enough, so here are a few examples: New York Times, BBC, The Telegraph, The Hindu, USA Today, Malaysia Star, ESPN, Los Angeles Times, Irish Times, Sports Illustrated, Jamaica Gleaner, Herald Sun, Channel News Asia, The Australian. I really could go on and on here, but my point is that all around the world the common name is Inter Milan. Jenks24 (talk) 15:47, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose - The club has numerous common names, including "Internazionale", "Inter" and "Inter Milan". The current title avoids the rigmarole of determining which of these should be used while also making the article fit with the convention of titling club articles after the club's full name (c.f. Manchester United F.C., A.C. Milan, Real Madrid C.F., FC Barcelona, etc.) – PeeJay 14:53, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
• Agree – The title is confusing as it’s not WP:COMMONNAME I thought I had either been transferred to Italian Wikipedia site or a different football club. As of this second UEFA has the more commonly used name of Internazionale used in their Champions League Standings (Presumably so people would understand which club they are talking about) – which is why Wikipedia should change. For me it should be Inter Milan as all the main media ie BBC, SKY, ITV, Telegraph refer to the club as that and to be honest I could have found many, many, many more. I’m suspecting some people want to argue the colour of black – which for me is not good for the Wikipedia project - when this is an Open and Closed case. Also convention needs to be set aside rather then confuse masses and in my opinion the mighty UEFA agrees with this when they call the team Internazionale in the league standings. --Medic [ talk ] 15:23, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
• Oppose - The club has numerous common names and Inter Milan isn't necessarily the most common one. Also per WP:MOSAT official names can be used when agreed on by a Wikiproject (as has been done here). The reason we use official names is quite clear if you look at UEFA's website. Nearly every club is called something that would be unsuitable for Wikipedia. We use official names because they are unambiguous for Wiki. Adam4267 (talk) 15:36, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Good point. It also should be pointed out that the naming of football clubs differs greatly in sources when used in prose compared to in statistics much like UEFA does. For article titles we should look to the name used in the prose. --Reckless182 (talk) 15:41, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
