Talk:Eights Week

Neptune Summer Eights?
OURCs currently refer to this event as the Neptune Summer Eights (see http://www.ourcs.org.uk/217 ). Should the article be updated to reflect this? pasta3049 (talk) 16:31, 28 April 2016 (UTC)


 * No, see WP:COMMONNAME. "Summer Eights" in a Google search gives about 17100 results, "Eights Week"" about 10800, and "Neptune Summer Eights" gives 4. --David Biddulph (talk) 17:00, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Requested move 15 July 2024
Eights Week → Summer Eights – While referred to as Eights Week in the past, the event is far more commonly known as Summer Eights today. All University, College, and town publication, including all material from the actual organisers refers to the event as 'Summer Eights', not 'Eights Week'. Additionally, as referred to by the last move request back in 2016, there are far more common results for Summer Eights than Eights Week in search engines. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically. OxfordRowing (talk) 20:34, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I support this change. While I now live in Australia, I rowed in Eights way way back and still keep in touch with rowing at Oxford University and this article. Bduke (talk) 07:27, 16 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I support this change. In almost all material I have found the event is referred to as Summer Eights. ‘Eights Week’ seems to stem from when it was a longer event that took up most of the week but this hasn’t been the case for decades. 81.156.2.140 (talk) 21:08, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
