Turkey in AFC rankings?

Why is Turkey, an UEFA member, has something to do with an AFC rank? HiddenFace101 (talk) 15:37, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 12 December 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Withdrawn by proposer; page not moved. (non-admin closure) Wracking ^talk! 21:28, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asian Football Confederation → AFC
AFC → AFC (disambiguation) – Suggesting this RM per WP:ACROTITLE, WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE (as UEFA is also an article with acronym). It shouldn't be a problem to get moved and is a good contender for renaming. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 13:33, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Pages with content, such as Asian Football Confederation, are ineligible to be proposed titles in move requests unless they, too, are formally dispositioned. "AFC → AFC (disambiguation)" has been added to this request to meet that requirement. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 13:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have posted at WikiProject Football to see if we can get more editors on this, to try and establish a consensus. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ 🗿 14:05, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- I'm not opposed to this per se but there are a lot of pages currently listed at the AFC disambiguation page. Is this definitely the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? If it isn't, then it shouldn't move. If it can be demonstrated that it is, I'll happily support. Stevie fae Scotland (talk) 14:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - it seems unlikely that on a global scale this is indisputably the primary topic for the initials. UEFA is different because there basically isn't anything else notable with those initials -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:21, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose there are 38 topics listed at AFC DAB page, and I don't see any evidence that the football confederation is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Concise naming is not a valid reason for moving this, unless it's actually demonstrated to be the primary topic for the acronym AFC, which I don't believe to be the case. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I would say that out of the topics listed, there are a good amount which are stretching the AFC may stand for description (looking at you Arsenal FC), but from the ones that aren't (especially stand out: Adelaide Football Club whose website is https://www.afc.com.au/ and American Football Conference which I'm quite sure the most notable of this list in North America), I can't see the Asian Football Confederation being more of a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC than them. Also, if on my computer I try searching "AFC" on Google news, out of the 10 results on the 1st page, 6 are about the NFL conference, 3 about AFC Wimbledon, and only one about the Asian Football Confederation. --SuperJew (talk) 15:04, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Britannica uses "Asian Cup" with AFC an alternative just like for AFC Ajax. Arsenal F.C. has 421,876 views and AFC Ajax has 76,876 compared with only 42,955[[1]] for this one. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:43, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There is no obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the abbreviation "AFC," as clearly shown by the sheer number of pages linked on the existing disambiguation page. In fact, most of the 37 articles linked there don't even refer to any sport much less association football. This RM may well fall under the WP:SNOWBALL clause, but that is not my decision to make. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 18:36, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As per points made above. Kante4 (talk) 19:04, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
