Jaeckel Hotel → Statesboro City Hall and Drummers' Building – I suggest moving the article to "Statesboro City Hall and Drummers' Building" for reasons that a) this reflects the fact that the article (and the NRHP nomination) cover the Drummers' Building as well as the Jaeckel Hotel building, and b) this reflects the "City Hall" common current name for the Jaeckel Hotel building. The lede would be revised to include a bolded "Jaeckel Hotel"; Jaeckel Hotel would remain as a redirect. Common usage of both "City Hall" and "Drummers' Building" is shown in the City of Statesboro's webpage "Boards & Commissions" and "City Council", which are both now used as sources in the article. The "History" source does use "Jaeckel Hotel", I acknowledge, but in that context it is given as a historical name. For where to go to a meeting, citizens are directed to go to the City Hall or to the Drummers' Building, which is technically on a separate property. Note this naming would parallel naming of a separate article Statesboro City Hall and Fire Station that covers a former city hall. do ncr  am  09:55, 22 August 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * I don't object to the move if there won't be any confusion between it and the other Statesboro City Hall article. I used "Jaeckel Hotel" because that is the NRHP name.  Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 21:02, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Jaeckel Hotel looks like the WP:COMMONNAME and carries longer historical significance. Statesboro City Hall already redirects here to reflect current use of the property. — JFG talk 07:36, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Move to Statesboro City Hall. In addition to being the current use, it also seems to be the WP:COMMONNAME in current sources.. Even sources that explicitly refer to the Drummers' Building as well use the name.--Cúchullain t/ c 17:52, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose per JFG. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 03:02, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Jaeckel Hotel is what the National Register of Historic Places calls it, and inclusion there is the main reason it's notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:25, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
