Requested move 3 January 2022 [archived]
FOCUS Broadband → Focus Broadband – Per WP:MOSTM; moved twice without consensus by User:Csomer, who happens to work for the company. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 14:56, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

FOCUS stands for Fiber Optic Communication Utility Service, therefore the page being titled as FOCUS Broadband was accurate. Csomer (talk) 21:52, 3 January 2022 (UTC) Csomer

 * Procedural note: created new RM as above RM was redundant, given the article was moved back to original location. This is the true RM that needs to be discussed. Pinging Mvcg66b3r who was involved in the last, brief, RM. Daniel (talk) 22:53, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: In their FAQs, they state "FOCUS doesn’t stand for anything officially, it was chosen to reflect our company making world-class broadband our business. We are literally ‘focusing on providing you with great broadband’. In support of that, we do have two acronyms we like to say that it could mean: For Our Customers Ultimate Service and/or Fiber Optic Communications Utility Service" --  AxG /  ✉  23:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose When you come up with a name that is clearly a word, capitalize it, and then try and come up with a contrived meaning for an "acronym", that should not be qualification to meet MOS:TMCAPS. (Side note: doing some cleanup work on the code so this transcludes properly. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 02:06, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose We generally do not follow the company's stylization. Reasoning as stated just above.  DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose as a backronym. This is promotional styling intended to be pronouced as a word, not spelled out letter-by-letter. —&#8288;&#8202;&#8288;BarrelProof (talk) 22:58, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose as artificial backronym. No justification for Wikipedia to bend its naming rules to match company name stylization they bent purely for marketing purposes. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 23:27, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose The premise to move is that it is an acronym but it is not per above (it is a backronym). In any case, we would not generally use the acronym as an article title per WP:TITLEFORMAT.  Nor do we generally use all caps for trade names etc per WP:TITLETM. Cinderella157 (talk) 00:54, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
