Talk:National Museum of the Royal Navy, Hartlepool

Untitled
I added this page because I noticed the page for the HMS Trincomalee referred to it (the attraction). If this is an error then I appologise. However, I do think the page should be valid. Yes, it is a commercial attraction, but then so is Beamish Museum and countless others.

I would hope, given the chance, I can add further information about the attraction, as could those wikipedia fans and supporters who visit.

 * have modified the content to revise the "advert" nature of the entry. It still needs to be more factual, so I'll research some dates and details etc.  It'll be interesting to explain the development, from the initial preservation of the Warrior, the Trincomalee trust and the evolution from Historic Quay to the current Maritime Experience.

I hope this entry doesn't get deleted! :)

The result of the move request was: Moved to National Museum of the Royal Navy, Hartlepool per nom and the evidence provided. No reason to stick to the old name. No such user (talk) 12:40, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Hartlepool's Maritime Experience → National Museum of the Royal Navy, Hartlepool – According to the article itself and the official website, the attraction has been rebranded. I have proposed this title due to consistency with National Museum of the Royal Navy, Portsmouth. NemesisAT (talk) 23:43, 27 July 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * I note that redirect (no comma) exists, and is piped to display with the comma in National Museum of the Royal Navy but not piped, at its only other use, in Structure of the British Armed Forces. So I think one way or another the "with comma" variant should be a blue link. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose. If the museum was rebranded in 2016 there should be evidence of the new name in reliable secondary sources. Without seeing this, the article should not be moved. And even if the common name has changed, I'd be sceptical that it would be to this version. More likely just Royal Navy Museum, which might need disambiguation but is currently a redlink.

 * The updated name was used in the ChronicleLive and the Hartlepool Mail. I think there is sufficient evidence that the museum has changed name. I actually visited it last week (which prompted me to request the page move) and the old name on the Wikipedia entry led me to believe there were two maritime museums in Hartlepool, so if the common name hasn't changed that may be due to confusion caused by us and other sources not updating the name.
