[edit] Merge

It appears from both articles that Bon Accord F.C. is a one-off cover-name for Orion Cricket Club and only ever played one football match. The articles duplicate each other. Leave Category:Defunct Scottish football clubs on the redirect Bon Accord F.C. but merge the rest of the content here. jnestorius^(talk) 17:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree they should be merged. However, I have mild preference for the finished product retaining the article name 'Bon Accord F.C.'. 'Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord' is a slightly odd name for an encyclopedia article. Ben MacDui^Talk/Walk 12:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

This match is notable enough to have it's own article just like Australia 31 - 0 American Samoa is notable enough, Arbroath 36-0 Bon Accord is not an odd name for an article about a specific match, in exactly the same way that Australia 31 - 0 American Samoa is not a odd title.

Disagree with merger, as Bon Accord F.C did reappear later. There was also later a Bon Accord Juniors who certainly traded on the notoriety of the name to play a "replay" friendly match against Arbroath in the 1990s, this time "only" losing 5-0. Mark Boyle (talk) 18:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

How about this article gets merged into Bon Accord F.C., instead of the other way around because of the Bon Accord Juniors section. Or we could create an article about Bon Accord Juniors, and go ahead with the merge.Aberdeen fc (talk) 19:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
