Hi, I have initiated a small article on Trevor Hartley because he was for a very short time in managerial roles at Spurs. I know little about his time at AFC Bournemouth as player or manager apart from what was readily available on the www.

The winning streak of six games has been pretty amazing and could mean that League One survival, which seemed near impossible two months ago, could well be in reach. Does anyone know of similar sorts of achievements (in terms of relegation battles) for the club itself or among other clubs in the football league? These would be good for comparison and ones that concerned AFCB could be integrated into the article! ( Mcdonaldo ( talk) 22:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC))
The name AFC Bournemouth was adopted during the Bond era to make the club sound modern and continental, and less successfully to move it to the top of alphabetical lists. Although that means the club is nominally known as Athletic Football Club Bournemouth I don't think anyone ever calls it that. Britmax ( talk) 19:33, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I just reverted an anonymous editor (a "fan of 25 years") who added "Athletic Football Club" to the lead [1] without a reference. I then added a reference which seems to support the name "Association Football Club" alongside where that name appeared in the infobox (Ref: [2]). However I've since found a contradictory one that supports "Athletic" (Ref: [3]). Mostly, though, references are very hard to find at all, and the official company name is simply "AFC Bournemouth Limited" ( [4]) - which seems to support the view that AFC doesn't actually stand for anything. The article as I've left it is as it was, with "Association Football Club" in the infobox, plus a reference from a reliable source to support that. However, that may be a case of Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. Dorsetonian ( talk) 23:02, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

The proper name of the football club and the company that runs it is AFC Bournemouth. It is not "A.F.C. Bournemouth" or "Athletic Football Club Bournemouth" or "Association Football Club Bournemouth". This is clear from a notice on the club's Web site that will have been cleared by the company secretary or general counsel. The assertion in the box that the full name is Athletic Football Club Bournemouth is based on a misunderstanding of the cited source, which says "AFC stands for Athletic Football Club".

Thank you, Dekimasu よ!. Taking Dekimasu's remarks one by one: The Official names policy WP:OFFICIAL says "Article titles should be (...) consistent with usage in reliable English-language sources. In many cases, the official name will be the best choice to fit (this criterion)." While there are some reliable English-language sources that use "A.F.C. Bournemouth" with full-stops (periods), they are very few and far between, and as far as I can see they are all U.S. sources. British sources (both primary and secondary) consistently use "AFC Bournemouth". According to WP:TITLEVAR in the Article titles policy, "If a topic has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation, the title of its article should use that nation's variety of English (...)." There are, as Dekimasu writes, many other Wikipedia articles that use "A.F.C." titles. Far be it for me to say (here) that they're all wrong, but (according to my extensive but not exhaustive research) many do seem to be inconsistent with the applicable national variety of English. (I think there is a strong tendency outside the United States to omit full-stops in abbreviations where possible in all contexts, and that the U.S. style is sometimes applied on Wikipedia without regard to other relevant varieties of English - but that's just a point of view.) The Naming convention for sports teams WP:NCST says, "In cases where there is no ambiguity as to the official spelling of a club's name in English, the official name should be used." The official name in this case is AFC Bournemouth. WP:NCST does not specifically address football-club names, but it gives examples to illustrate other points: FC Barcelona and St Helen's FC, both without full-stops.

Hello,
The AFC Bournemouth badge on this page seems to have some issues as of 14 September 2020. The badge contains a red colour gradient. However, the red seems to have been replaced by a transparent background. I don't own a copy of the badge and I am unsure exactly about the fair use rules of taking the image from elsewhere off the internet. Could a more experienced editor look into fixing up the badge?
With the article now being AFC Bournemouth, surely the lead of the article should match that? However it currently reads A.F.C. - I’m not sure if this has been left following a discussion. Should this be changed to correctly match the article, if not then surely the discussion and outcome of moving the article from A.F.C. to just AFC becomes rather pointless?

Bournemouth → AFC Bournemouth – The A.F.C. doesn't stand for anything (per discussion) and thus there should not be periods in the title as other articles don't use them when the prefix doesn't stand for anything (such as AFC Wimbledon) Microwave Anarchist ( talk) 14:00, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello,
The AFC Bournemouth badge on this page seems to have some issues as of 14 September 2020. The badge contains a red colour gradient. However, the red seems to have been replaced by a transparent background. I don't own a copy of the badge and I am unsure exactly about the fair use rules of taking the image from elsewhere off the internet. Could a more experienced editor look into fixing up the badge?
With the article now being AFC Bournemouth, surely the lead of the article should match that? However it currently reads A.F.C. - I’m not sure if this has been left following a discussion. Should this be changed to correctly match the article, if not then surely the discussion and outcome of moving the article from A.F.C. to just AFC becomes rather pointless?

I removed that from the nickname field, it seems more like a proper old name given the history of the club, so I am not sure it really counts as a nickname. Govvy ( talk) 09:21, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

Mattythewhite, could you please undo your revert? I'd like to point out the original Boscombe name is already mentioned 2 sentences before in the previous paragraph. Cheers.— Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 08:10, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
