Belfast Yards → Belfast Yard – no "S" in correct name Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:47, 16 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose but perhaps relist. Both names are in use, see here and many other similar. No evidence given that the proposed move target is is the correct name in terms of wp:AT. Andrewa (talk) 13:18, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The official OC Transpo webpage referenced in the article uses "Yard". You quote a newspaper article. Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:50, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Exactly. The newspaper is a secondary source while the official web page is a primary source. We prefer secondary sources. That we prefer the official name is a very common misconception. Andrewa (talk) 21:23, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. Clearly the WP:COMMONNAME on Google news ( vs. ).--Cúchullain t/ c 14:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
