Talk:1997 Chennai Open

Requested move
1997 Gold Flake Open → 1997 Chennai Open — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:17, 14 November 2010 (UTC) The tournament's actual name as confirmed by reference to World of Tennis 1997. Totalinarian (talk) 20:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It seems from the tournament's current official website that it was called the "Gold Flake Open" at the time. But it has had multiple changes of name for sponsorship reasons. It makes sense, in my view, to use the title with which reliable sources describe the event now. That title seems to be "Chennai Open". Such practice is common sense as it ensures continuity of the event's name over multiple years. It appears to be a widely practiced precedent - see for example 2001–02 Football League Cup - to use generic titles for annual sporting events where the name of the sponsor changes. As there's been no opposition to this sensible request in over a month, I'm going to perform the move myself. --Mkativerata (talk) 04:21, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
