*Oppose I believe all clubs (and not only clubs) should be under their official names. BTW: Did you notice there's not only football Sparta? Other sports should then need a disambiguation word. Honza Záruba 21:38, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

*Oppose Although they refer to themselves as such on their website, I do not believe Sparta Praha has been adopted by a significant proportion of the media. UEFA (7 of the 12 hits) do not count as they always use the local name rather than the English even when writing in English (this is why they were deliberately not included in the naming conventions policy; for instance they use Bayern Munchen rather than Bayern Munich). Another four of the 12 hits for the Czech name are actually Czech websites. Sparta Prague is by far the most common name for the club. пﮟოьεԻ 57 18:41, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Sparta-Slavia.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
