Talk:Granada Studios

Move to Granada Studios?
The official name is The Manchester Studios but I've never heard it referred to by that name in person or in the media. All I ever hear is Granada Studios. I think there are grounds for renaming the page Granada Studios considering the name of the page does not have to be its "official" name: Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it instead uses the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources.

If it was the most "frequently used" it would be Granada Studios hands down. Referring to the studios as the Quay Street Studios is probably more common than The Manchester Studios. Discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevo1000 (talk • contribs)


 * I understand where you're coming from, but ITV and 3Sixty Media refer to them as The Manchester Studios in line with ITV's other studio complex's: The London Studios (LWT) and The Leeds Studios (Yorkshire). I therefore think that the should remain as the Manchester studios. I know that is what they are formally called, but a couple of redirects to the page should rectify that problem.

 * Although I like that the article is being referenced and expanded admirably, I do get an impression that some of the edits look a little too much like they are coming from one viewpoint, for example "Despite this renaissance..." and "will most likely be demolished despite being the first and oldest operating television studios in the United Kingdom". With regards to the article title, as they are currently called "The Manchester Studios", that should probably remain the title. Once ITV have moved to Salford, therefore losing the last link to this building, perhaps Granada Studios would then be a more suitable title? Bob talk 17:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I think the idea of changing the page to Granada Studios is the wisest solution once ITV move to Mediacity and the studios are closed. It was known as Granada Studios for the majority of its existance (44 years, 1956-2000) and the Manchester Studios for just over 10 years. Stevo1000 (talk) 14:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Rafmarhen's claim is incorrect. ITV refer to the Manchester Studios as being part of ITV Granada/Granada Studios on their website: http://www.itv.com/beontv/tickets/  That makes sense as the whole building isn't 3Sixy Media facilities as ITV Granada have news and administration departments based there.  Therefore an article on the whole building should still be called Granada Studios.

The Manchester Studios → Granada Studios – I believe the Manchester Studios should be changed to Granada Studios due to a number of reasons: 1. The Manchester Studios is more commonly called Granada Studios 2. Granada Studios was the original name of the studios in 1956 Stevo1000 (talk) 05:38, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Assessment
This article needs to be assessed - it must come under the cover of at least one WikiProject. Also, I think this is certainly nearing GA status. An assessment may confirm this or at least say what else needs to be done. Rafmarham (talk) 13:33, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Now demolished
The article needs to be rewritten, since Granada studios was demolished 2 years ago. It's currently a building site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A442:581E:1:66E8:8918:394C:2832 (talk) 10:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC)


 * As the article discusses, parts of the complex were demolished. However, significant elements remain, so it is not accurate to say that it "was demolished 2 years ago" Tvcameraop (talk) 12:07, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
