Route Views → RouteViews – The project name has changed and the title reflects the old project name. I'm asking for assistance as I am paid by the project and I'm not autoconfirmed. This is a contested technical request (permalink).

The RouteViews project has created a lot of confusion over the years by permitting many variations of the name to be used. There are multiple redirects in Wikipedia that reflect this confusion over the project name. I'm attempting to create some clarity by reducing the number of name variations in use. Wikipedia is a common source for citation and an inaccurate name adds to the confusion. While a search for "Route Views" returns more results than "RouteViews", "route-views" returns an order of magnitude more results. It appears that the argument for keeping the name "Route Views" doesn't reflect common usage any more than my request does. I don't understand how internet search results forms the basis of a policy given it doesn't support the current name choice. InternetHex (talk) 20:58, 13 July 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Oppose Comment . I am not sure this article meets the general notability guidelines (WP:GNG). The title should be based on common use in independent, reliable sources — but is there any significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to support the article's information and notability?

 * Also oppose per the contesting comment by ("This fails WP:COMMONNAME as the current title gets 1.5x results from a simple Google search"). SilverLocust  💬 03:51, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
