Organization of Chinese Americans → OCA - Asian Pacific American Advocates – organization has officially changed its name 50.249.44.17 (talk) 16:21, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, 50.249. I just don't see that as a WP:COMMONNAME just yet. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 17:11, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Wikipedia does not necessarily use official names, and the proposed name seems overly lengthy and hard to parse and has a strange use of a hyphen. It seems unlikely to be the WP:COMMONNAME of the organization. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:16, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now, but no problem with a redirect from OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates and from OCA - Asian Pacific American Advocates for good measure. Sam Sailor 17:32, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME, currently the previous name is more commonly used than the official name. If the time comes where that is no longer the case, we can revisit the question, but for now I can't support this move request.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 01:38, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Pure marketing. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:53, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
