Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Newco Rangers
I am terribly sorry to all of you mergers and deleters but the basic plain fact is that when a company goes into liquidation it no longer exists. Irrespective of the size of Rangers F.C., it no longer exists even on paper. It's records, trophies and history ended when the club folded. That is the painful truth. Just because it is a huge entity supported by many people does not preclude it from "continuing". The clock has been reset to zero!! I can only speak for myself but when Chester City F.C. was wound up in 2010 it became Chester F.C. on Wikipedia. There was no hoo har or furore like the one going on over Rangers. It happened, what was 100-year-old Chester had gone, it was now being superceded by another club called Chester. The king is dead, long live the king!! Sorry but my logic trumps all this oMMonName and other obfuscation like Wiki lawyering. Rangers FC has gone forever unless some very benevolent person wants to pay the debts of £134m owed to its creditors (and then by all means it would come back). I write this as a neutral solely on the grounds that I like to see parity on Wikipedia. Just because a big club goes bust makes it situation any more "special" than a small one. This article is about the successor club, business, and what it does on the pitch. Nothing more, nothing less. This has discussion has to be about the Prima facie facts not the emotions of seeing you're best team going down a certain creek without a paddle. Blame Craig Whyte for that, not Wikipedia!!  — Preceding Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned comment added by Special:Contributions/109.150.239.204|109.150.239.204
