Requested move 11 December 2016[edit]

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved per WP:COMMONNAME. (non-admin closure) Fuortu (talk) 21:36, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Go Whippet → Whippet Coaches – Whippet has now stopped using the name "Go Whippet", and uses "Whippet" or "Whippet Coaches" on all its latest products and mentions on official websites, including its own ( http://www.go-whippet.co.uk/ ) . The company's twitter feed, although retaining the old 'gowhippet' username, for its full name uses 'Whippet Coaches' ( https://twitter.com/GoWhippet )- so I propose this page is renamed back to the original and the redirect is removed. Whistler (talk) 17:20, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. And removing the redirect is a particularly bad idea and completely contrary to practice and policy. But the changes in official name have no direct relevance in terms of article title policy, and the story of this particular naming yo-yo is an excellent example of one reason why we have this policy. Let the dust settle and when it does, see what the common name ends up being. And keep the redirect, either way. Andrewa (talk) 16:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
