Don't redirected Kuala Lumpur United F.C.

Please don't redirected Kuala Lumpur F.C. to details of Kuala Lumpur FA because it is not the same. Please returned back Kuala Lumpur United F.C.

Thank you. Zackyusoff78 19:53, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Its the same club, and you did a copy/paste move, we dont need two articles with the same content just because they changed the name and ownership, if they would be a new club they would start at the bottom of the football pyramid, they inherited all statistics and honors of the previous club so its the same thing Snowflake91 (talk) 20:27, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And you broke all the redirects by manually copy/pasting things in the first place, Kuala Lumpur Football Association is most likely not even notable to have an article, all articles that are linked to old Kuala Lumpur FA are club-related (players, managers, competitions etc.), and not association related, so no, you cannot simply copy/paste everyting around and change it a little bit. If you want, create a new article Kuala Lumpur Football Association (with reliable secondary sources, which would prove WP:GNG) and leave Kuala Lumpur FA redirect alone, it is used soleley for the club purposes.

I made an article for the association now, the only linking to Kuala Lumpur Football Association right now is Football Association of Malaysia so its seems fine, while the players, managers, seasons etc. should link to Kuala Lumpur FA, which redirects to this page as its the same club.

Merge

Merge Kuala Lumpur United F.C. and Kuala Lumpur FA

The User:Zackyusoff78 created new articles without any consensus or sources, for example this source confirms that it will be the same club, just renamed. Just because they change the ownership and the club's name, it doesnt mean we create a new articles for it. If this would be a new club they wont be allowed to play in the top division right away, they have inherited everything from Kuala Lumpur FA, so its the same club. This user even created two different articles with EXACTLY the same content (same honours section, same kits section, same seasonal tables, same list of managers etc. – literally copy/pasted the same content over two different articles), which is plain stupid. If we would do new articles everytime the club re-organise and re-register themselves, we would have like 3 different articles for Parma Calcio 1913 and 5 articles for Palermo F.C., among many others examples.Snowflake91 (talk) 15:33, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are more sources (1, 2) confirming that its the same club. The sources claim that:

"KL United FC have also retained the services of their Brazilian hitman, Paulo Josue, who has played for the team since 2017. The team was promoted to the 2021 Super League despite finishing in third place in last’s season Premier League."
The club formerly known as Kuala Lumpur FA made the announcement on their social media accounts";

So its pretty clear that this is the same club, just with a different ownership and a new name, like many other cases, so I will boldly merge the articles back, which were separated by this disruptive user without citing any sources, its CLEARLY the same club, new ownership doesnt mean we need two articles.

Request on Name and logo change

I would like to propose a request upon the page's name and logo as it was recently changed again by the club. The latest name would be "Kuala Lumpur 'City' Football Club as written in the name change subtitle in the article. The sources of the change is cited from the official Malaysian league website and a news article.

I understand that this page had some problems in the past regarding the club's name, henceforth this request is being made to note every editor about the change.

KLFA owns KL City FC but each has different president - Khalid Samad (KLFA President) whereas Annuar Musa (KL City FC President)

Dear all Wikipedians or editors,

I have been seeing the KL City FC's President's name has been changed many times by editors & a lot of confusion online about which one is the real president of KL City FC. So, the following are my points (and proofs) to clear the misunderstanding & confusion:

FYI, the President of KLFA is Khalid Samad since November 2019 (until 2023) whereas the President of KL City FC is Annuar Musa since February 2021.

Annuar Musa was appointed as the President of KL City FC (previously known as "KL United FC" before March 2021) by KLFA & Khalid Samad.

To understand it & to see the proofs (reliable sources), please refer to all other sections later. I have to split the explanation into several sections in order to highlight each of the events.

Why there's a confusion & misunderstanding?

Some people did not know that the "KL City FC" (a football CLUB) is owned by KLFA. At the same time, they did not know that there are 2 entities (KLFA & KL City FC) and each of the organizations has its own president.

Here's what the President of KL City FC, Annuar Musa says in news / media on 30 Nov 2021 (Sinar Harian):

Source: Sinar Harian, 30 Nov 2021 (I chose several paragraphs from the news):

PRESIDEN Kuala Lumpur (KL) City FC, Tan Sri Annuar Musa yakin dengan kemampuan barisan pemain skuad The City Boys yang bakal berentap dengan Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) pada final Piala Malaysia di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil malam ini.

Pada masa sama, Annuar berkata, tiada magis dalam kejayaan bersejarah KL City melayakkan diri ke final pertandingan berprestij itu, sebaliknya prestasi terkini pasukan adalah hasil penambahbaikan yang dibuat secara teliti dan berperingkat.

"Sejak saya ambil alih bersama Bojan (Hodak) saya dapat lihat prestasi KL City meningkat secara beransur-ansur.
"Kita buat secara berperingkat dan segalanya diuruskan secara profesional. Saya tak campur soal pengurusan atau syarikat, cuma memberi nasihat berdasarkan pengalaman saya," katanya.

There is still Kuala Lumpur Football Association article, state-owned local amateur club by the KLFA is not notable, so thats why there are no two articles - KL City FC officially took over all history of the Kuala Lumpur FA club (thats why they won 4th title, not 1st), so it was just renamed, its the came club but rebranded. Snowflake91 (talk) 12:33, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just edited my talk above because I did not aware that the article about the state association's football club is still exists as a different article.

KLFA is the owner of KL City FC

This reliable news source, states a fact that KLFA owns KL City FC:

Source: Berita Harian (Bharian.com.my), 30 Nov 2021:

Quote:

Perkembangan itu dimaklumkan Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Kuala Lumpur (KLFA), Khalid Abdul Samad yang menjelaskan beberapa pihak sudah menyatakan minat untuk menjadi 'tauke' baharu pasukan itu yang ketika ini masih dimiliki KLFA.

Katanya, rundingan sedang dijalankan dengan entiti berpangkalan di Lembah Klang dan untuk itu, KLFA enggan mendedahkan sebarang maklumat lanjut mengenainya.

"Ya, sudah ada (pihak yang berminat) tetapi kita tidak boleh katakan siapa cuma buat masa ini, KLFA masih lagi pemilik KL City FC. Beberapa pihak itu tidak semestinya (terbabit dalam bola sepak) kerana mungkin pembabitan mereka lebih kepada promosi atau tanggungjawab sosial korporat (CSR).

Yes...and? Nowhere in Wikipedia article is it mentioned who is the owner of the team anyway, it just says that "the club was founded in 1974 by the Kuala Lumpur FA". President of the club is Annuar Musa, which is confirmed by multiplte reliable sources including this one from yesterday, so whoever is the president of the Kuala Lumpur Football Association is completely irrelevant to this article, because this article covers the professional (privatised) club, not the association. Snowflake91 (talk) 12:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've added to the infobox that KLFA is the owner of the club, and that Musa is the president of the club, which is both supported by new reliable sources. Snowflake91 (talk) 12:55, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Great. But I think we should add an infobox about Khalid Samad as the President of KLFA in "Kuala Lumpur Football Association article" so that when readers click the KL City FC's owner's name (which is KLFA in a hyperlinked text), they will be directed to the article and clear their own confusion about which one is the President of KL City FC.

Title: Fans in a flap over KL's name change

Quote:

LESS than 48 hours before their Super League opening match against Penang, the name of KL United FC was officially changed to Kuala Lumpur City FC.

Not only did the City Boys change their name, their logo was also given a "facelift", and it now bears similarity to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) crest, mainly the tiger.

However, the changes did not sit well with KL fans, with some questioning Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa's involvement in the squad, which they claim, has led to the changes. Last month, Annuar was invited to be KL City FC president.
