 * Note: Al Nahyan (disambiguation) exists. I'm weary to perform this move since there may be multiple notable topics. Steel1943  (talk) 17:50, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Moved to full discussion. Steel1943  (talk) 17:52, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * For the record, I am neutral. Steel1943  (talk) 23:21, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I am the nominator and the family is what the neighbourhood is named after. The stadium is named after the neighbourhood it is in, and therefore is indirectly named after the family. I however understand that the root name is not always the primary topic, however in this case it the royal and presidential family of a country, whereas the other two are less notable.

 * Oppose move, but change Al Nahyan to primary redirect. I think it's correct that the family is the primary topic over the neighbourhood and the stadium - it certainly wins page views,|Al_Nahyan_Stadium|Al_Nahyan_neighbourhood and also I think long term significance and common usage. But on the other hand I don't think the article should actually be titled Al Nahyan. That would be like renaming Kennedy family to Kennedy. Instead, Al Nahyan should simply become a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT, pointing to Al Nahyan family. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 17:39, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
