Talk:San Diego Stadium

The Q under threat from fire?
The stadium has never been considered under threat from the witch fire, as it is nowhere near any of the two main fires. I'm going to change the passage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.213.132.253 (talk) 19:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Little Q
Does anyone know the capacity of The Little Q Rugby Field? The C of E (talk) 11:28, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

ambiguity in intro
The last sentence of the intro is a bit ambiguous in its reference to "all three events." The preceding sentences actually refer to five different events: 1) NFL Super Bowl, 2) MLB All-Star Game, 3) NL Division Series, 4) NL Championship Series, and 5) MLB World Series. Looking at the articles of the other two stadiums mentioned (LA Coliseum and the Metrodome), I think it's supposed to refer to 1, 2, and 5, but I'd rather leave it to someone with more sports knowledge to fix this up.  Dr Ishmael (talk) 18:24, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Snapdragon Stadium
As per the Stadium will be known as Snapdragon Stadium for eleven days, starting on Sunday. Obviously we'll need to note the name change in the article, but since it's reverting back to Qualcomm Stadium after those eleven days, is it worthwhile to rename the article? --Kevin W./Talk•CFB uniforms/Talk 20:53, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

SDCCU Stadium → San Diego Stadium – SDCCU no longer owns naming rights, it’s now known as San Diego Stadium. SportsFan007 (talk) 19:40, 29 January 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.   SITH   (talk)   13:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose and speedy SNOW close; lack of rationale. I know of no changes since this. --В²C ☎ 20:23, 29 January 2019 (UTC) striking out as nom has added rationale. --В²C ☎ 20:46, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The legal naming rights by SDCCU have been renewed through 2020, and reliable sources are using the SDCCU Stadium name, including the City itself, and this news article from today even explicitly states, "...currently known as SDCCU Stadium." --В²C ☎ 20:46, 29 January 2019 (UTC) update to reflect renewal of name. —-В²C ☎ 06:31, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. Google ngram looks pretty strong. “San Diego Stadium” even has a strong claim for a proper name, capitalising the S in Stadium. Sponsor names should be avoided if easily avoided, per NOTPROMOTION, and because sponsor names tend to be transient and suddenly changeable, and because quality sources also tend to ignore them. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:30, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Also SDCCU is WP:Jargon, not widely recognisable, and as a non-standard abbreviation it needs definition on first use, which cannot be done in the title that stands alone from the content. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:32, 29 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Support move. There's no sense in keeping an expired sponsor name.  ONR  (talk)  23:02, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment – I'm confused: I thought I saw on the local news recently that SDCCU did renew naming rights. Yep: So, oppose. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:07, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose -sources clearly indicate the naming rights deal has been renewed and as others have mentioned, the stadium's own website still has it listed as SDCCU stadium. We shouldn't rely on the original deal's expiration date as evidence that a facility's name has changed (seems like a case of WP:CRYSTAL), especially since, at the time of the original deal in 2017, the city had plans to close the stadium at the end of 2018, which obviously isn't true anymore. --JonRidinger (talk) 19:21, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment., , and : any objections to SNOW closing this given the finding above that SDCCU has renewed the owning rights to the stadium, and it's called SDCCU Stadium? SJ, btw, google ngram trends over a time span that ends before SDCCU first obtained the naming rights aren't very useful here. --В²C ☎ 22:42, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes I object. Wikipedia should not kowtow to a commercial OFFICALNAME that is poorly recognizable and jargon.  Yes, commercial newspapers like to use sponsor names, because they are part of the same commercial trade, but go to quality sources and you'll see San Diego Stadium remains the best COMMONNAME, CONSISTENT, RECOGNIZABLE name.  NDCCU always requires upfront explanation, which can't be provided in the article title, and why would any scholarly reader want to know in the title about San Diego County Credit Union.  The stadium has sold naming rights (unashamed advertising) multiple times, and now is associated with three sponsor names.  Wikipedia titling by the last one is WP:RECENTISM, as well as kowtowing to repeat the advertising.  Over time, the most well know sponsor name is Qualcomm Stadium, and in quality sources, it was usual introduced as San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium or Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.  San Diego County Credit Union paid to put its brand all over the stadium, but who is paying Wikipedia to do the same.  The enduring, overwhelmingly best recognized COMMONNAME is San Diego Stadium, and that is what the title of this article should be.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:40, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Okay. But here’s the thing. I remember it being called Jack Murphy Stadium, The Murph, Qualcomm, and the Q, but I don’t recall anyone ever calling it “San Diego Stadium”. Do you have any recent sources that use that name? As far as I can tell that hasn’t been the name since 1981 when it became The Jack Murphy Stadium. —В²C ☎ 06:21, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
 * What he said – I'm a "local", and nobody calls it "San Diego Stadium". Even the local news refers to it as "SDCCU Stadium" currently. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:15, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I assume you know its history, and are just not considering history versus WP:RECENTISM. Historically, most reliable sources on matters of fact about the construction and history call is “San Diego Stadium”. Yes, then came along symbolic naming for a hero, and then commercial naming for money, with the end effect being that commercial news media, and commercials themselves, using exclusively the commercial sponsor names. But “no one” is an exaggeration.  https://soccerstadiumdigest.com/2018/11/san-diego-stadium-vote-set-for-tuesday/  https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/Save-San-Diego-Stadium-Group-Wants-City-SDSU-to-Keep-Stadium-505022031.html. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:44, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the precedent for US stadiums is to use the current name. If and when this stadium is closed and torn down, the article will likely revert to either San Diego Stadium or Jack Murphy Stadium. Right now, though, it's clearly called SDCCU Stadium as evidenced by ticket websites and box scores for every sporting event that has taken place there since the naming agreement went into place. The source for the original naming rights deal also does not specifically state the facility would revert to "San Diego Stadium" at the expiration of the deal. WP:OFFICIALNAME is to avoid using obscure or rarely used "official" names as article titles. which is not the case here. "SDCCU Stadium" is widely used in third-party sources. The only use of WP:OFFICIALNAME is to not title the article "San Diego County Credit Union Stadium" which isn't used at all in secondary sources. Even the two articles you posted in the previous comment have "A local group that advocates for the historical preservation of San Diego landmarks wants to maintain the stadium in Mission Valley currently known as SDCCU Stadium" (emphasis added) and "When San Diego voters head to the polls on Tuesday, they will consider SoccerCity, a proposed development at the SDCUU Stadium site..." (emphasis added). The title of that second article from Soccer Digest, "San Diego Stadium Vote Set for Tuesday", is using 'title case' capitalization, not the "San Diego Stadium" name. With 'sentence case', the title of that article would likely be "San Diego stadium vote set for Tuesday". --JonRidinger (talk) 02:05, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I’m feeling alone here, but if it must be the current sponsor name, it should be unabbreviated, San Diego County Credit Union Stadium. Non standard abbreviations in titles is jargon. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:02, 3 February 2019 (UTC)


 * SNOW Oppose SDCCU is the name of the stadium, and SmokeyJoe's reference is completely unfounded and sounds like WP:IDONTLIKEIT, especially since we have articles that list corporate names all the time, Petco Park, and Viejas Arena formerly the Cox Arena, are two examples in San Diego. Typically changing names only occur when stadiums actually change their name, Jacobs Field to Progressive Field for instance.–UCO2009bluejay (talk) 22:07, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Petco Park, and Viejas Arena, excellent point, point taken, it is impossible to avoid sponsor names with modern stadiums only ever known, from their opening, by a sponsor name. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:46, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Not just idontlikeit. I get it that the sponsor name is accepted by most even if it keeps changing. My point there might be better made after it is closed & knocked down. “SDCCU” is not the name, showing that you are not looking critically, the name includes “Stadium”, which of course you meant, but this everyday thing is so frequently referred to in shorthand it makes an impression. I don’t like SDCCU because it is WP:JARGON, because abbreviations in titles are a barrier. Given valid comments, I now propose “San Diego County Credit Union Stadium”, the current sponsor name, a highly recognisable name, and although longish it is still only one line of title text in the standard (PDF) output. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:41, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose this counter-proposal of San Diego County Credit Union Stadium per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:OFFICIALNAME and even WP:JARGON. Yes, that's the official full name, but it's commonly and widely known now as SDCCU Stadium, not as the mouthful official name. It's not WP:JARGON which applies to "intrinsically technical" topics and is about content style. COMMONNAME is the relevant guideline here, and, more generally, WP:CRITERIA. --В²C ☎ 18:41, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Here is yet another news article, from yesterday, that refers to the stadium exclusively as SDCCU Stadium. No mention of "San Diego County Credit Union" which is clearly not part of the name most commonly used to refer to the stadium today. --В²C ☎ 21:56, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Of course I also oppose calling it "San Diego County Credit Union Stadium" as I mentioned in my earlier post, using it as an example of WP:OFFICIALNAME vs. WP:COMMONNAME. Yes, as a non-local, I had to look up was "SDCCU" stands for, but really, that's not uncommon since many stadiums and arenas around the world feature a local company, especially some of the collegiate facilities. Bottom line is, not only does stadium signage and the stadium website itself use "SDCCU Stadium", but so does the the main tenant SDSU, and a majority of third-party sources like box scores from other schools who played at SDSU and sports websites like ESPN. Of note, the Poinsettia Bowl does use the full name of the CU in both their current logo and in game references, but there is clear support in primary and secondary sources for that. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:18, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks JonRidinger, I take your points. SDCCU Stadium is less recognizable for SD outsiders, but I suppose it doesn't really matter because the actual stadium has little significance to SD outsides than SD locals.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:30, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Exactly. And this is precisely why WP:RECOGNIZABILITY is defined in these terms: "The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize". The requirement is to make our titles recognizable to those familiar with the corresponding topics, not necessarily to anyone else. --В²C ☎ 01:42, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * В²C, please stop peppering. I was not talking to you.  I am trying to not talk to you.  I am well aware of what WP:RECOGNIZABILITY says.  I contended that it is very easy to be far from SD and still be familiar with SD stadiums.  I see no benefit in you trying to string out further discussion about it.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:25, 6 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose the Counter proposal as well. The official name does not appear to be San Diego County Credit Union Stadium, but in fact SDCCU Stadium. The city of San Diego, which currently owns the venue, utilizes SDCCU Stadium when referring to it (link: https://www.sandiego.gov/stadium and https://www.sandiego.gov/stadium/about/history), as does the primary tenant SDSU football (link: https://goaztecs.com/sports/2018/7/13/facilities-qualcomm-stadium-html.aspx) as do all media references I can find.Gateman1997 (talk) 20:21, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose The stadium hasn't been known as San Diego stadium for nearly 40 years Google ngram. עם ישראל חי (talk) 21:50, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose - Name is still officially SDCCU Stadium through 2020. And it hasn't been known as San Diego Stadium in nearly 40 years. Even WP:Common wouldn't apply to "San Diego Stadium" as the more common usage names if not SDCCU Stadium are its previous 20 year name of "Qualcomm Stadium", or its older "Jack Murphy Stadium" name which was commonly shortened to "The Murph". Gateman1997 (talk) 20:12, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Moved to San Diego Stadium. There's a broad consensus for some move, and this one seems to be good enough; it's more or less a coin toss against Jack Murphy Stadium, but recent discussion seems to prefer it as a consensus option. No such user (talk) 15:10, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

SDCCU Stadium → Jack Murphy Stadium – Effective 1 January. With the stadium's pending demolition and the year-end expiration of SDCCU's naming rights, we should follow the precedent set at Astrodome and Colisée de Québec and locate the page at its common name, not its final name.  O.N.R.  (talk) 00:08, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose Eh, I dunno. I feel like, unlike the other two, this stadium had enough history as Qualcomm to make there no objective WP:COMMONNAME. I say "weak" because SDCCU is probably not suitable either... Nohomersryan (talk) 06:26, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I did consider that it spent slightly longer as Qualcomm Stadium, but the non-sponsor name seems preferable.  O.N.R.  (talk) 08:18, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Support Generally Wikipedia prefers non-sponsored names for stadiums unless the ground has had no other name since construction. Take Sophia Gardens (cricket ground) and City of Manchester Stadium for example.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 08:23, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now. Eventually this article will get moved to a previous name, but right now doesn't seem to be a favored one. Jack Murphy Stadium is certainly a major possibility, but so is its original name of San Diego Stadium, which it had for its first 14 years. I'd wait first for the stadium to get fully demolished, and then see how sources start referring to it, especially as Aztec Stadium progresses and opens. Right now, I'm still seeing a lot of references to its "current" name of SDCCU Stadium. --JonRidinger (talk) 02:12, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support 8/10 San Diego Stadium. Don’t pander to the commercialism of naming rights, which seems pervasive due to the network of commercial connections.  From a distance perspective, time and space, which is the style of an encyclopedia, San Diego Stadium is the timeless enduring name. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:20, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support 9/10 as proposed, Jack Murphy Stadium . Largely on the assumption that the Statue of Jack and Abe are not only preserved, but prominently preserved, as appears the intention. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:49, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Effective January 1. It was a good idea to open this, to provide the talk thread for input generated by the expiration date.  On that date, new information may be generated.  I think this discussion should continue at least a week after January 1 in anticipation of announcements and coverage that week.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:34, 29 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Strong support, conditionally No one I know who is still alive refers to it as San Diego Stadium. Everyone I know affectionately calls it The Murph a nickname for Jack Murphy Stadium and will search for it by that name, IMHO. Granted my support comes more from a user's perspective rather than as an editor. My condition is we wait and see as JonRidinger has suggested. Events may play out in such a way as to render this discussion moot. Kimdorris (talk) 22:24, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Per NOTDIRECTORY and Recentism, what people currently refer to it should not trump what people referred to it during its lifetime. However, on every other point I completely agree. The transient sponsorship names should be abandoned, and Jack Murphy Stadium is an excellent name considering Jack’s association throughout. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:55, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now, per JonRidinger. If the naming rights expire next week, we can see if the media uses some other name when discussing the demolition in 2021.  I don't see any of San Diego Stadium, Jack Murphy Stadium, or Qualcomm Stadium as being clearly best, though in the long run all 3 are likely better than the current title. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 05:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Support San Diego Stadium per ; seems good enough for an interim solution. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 03:39, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, locally and in the broader news in retrospective it has reverted as WP:COMMONNAME to Jack Murphy Stadium. Recent news coverage utilizes "Jack Murphy Stadium" almost 3 to 1 over SDCCU Stadium. Heck Qualcomm Stadium gets 2 to 1 coverage more than the outgoing SDCCU name. Gateman1997 (talk) 23:42, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Locals are more likely to refer to it as Jack Murphy Stadium as it's a common/well known name. It's part of the vernacular. Much like people from the San Francisco Bay Area call San Francisco "The City" and not "Frisco". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kimdorris (talk • contribs) 03:40, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Interesting. The current title is no longer current, but each of the three previous names has a decent claim to being primary by both then-current usage and long-term significance. I'd say most locals these days think of it as "Qualcomm/the Q", with a significant portion familiar with "Jack Murphy/the Murph". Ultimately, with two competing names, that might argue for using the original "San Diego Stadium". Ideally, I think we'd wait to see how reliable sources start referring to it in the new year and beyond, but the current title is just not tenable. My !vote would be move to San Diego Stadium, with Qualcomm and Jack Murphy as acceptable alternatives, in that order. There have been other stadiums that reverted to their original names (see Candlestick Park), but they were known by the original name for much longer. Not such a clear outcome here! Dohn joe (talk) 17:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The new year news is sparse. The stadium is recently referred to variously, and is not the focus of the stories, the focus is instead Aztec Stadium.
 * I suggest consideration of San Diego Stadium (1967-2020). Unfortunately, Jack Murphy Stadium (1967-2020) would be wrong, and  Jack Murphy Stadium (1981-1997) is a subtopic.  Moving forward, I think the current title is the worst title, although the last name, it is in time the least significant name.
 * "(1967-2020)" adds tremendously to recognizability, given that it is no longer (and the shell not much longer). Also, there is a possibility of future confusion between Aztec Stadium and San Diego Stadium.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:59, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No other stadium has been called San Diego Stadium; if we go that route, a hatnote would suffice for Aztec Stadium.  O.N.R.  (talk) 04:58, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Correct; good point. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:55, 5 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Other options Just throwing out an idea here: What about a combined name such as San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium (1967-2020)? That name covers everything except Qualcomm and the little known SDCCU Stadium name. Kimdorris (talk) 09:26, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No need for parenthesis unless there was some kind of ambiguity, like Yankee Stadium (1923) for the original Yankee Stadium since the current ballpark is also Yankee Stadium. I'd also avoid creating a title that never existed in real life. It really seems like it's going to be a debate about whether the title should use the original name or a long-running name; either will work. I don't think we'd even need a hatnote for Aztec Stadium or that there will be any confusion. The leads for both this page and the Aztec Stadium page will likely mention the other facility, much like similar situations where a new stadium was built on the site of an older one like Cleveland Stadium and FirstEnergy Stadium or Marlins Park and the Miami Orange Bowl. --JonRidinger (talk) 17:52, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
 * JonRidinger – To clarify my previous comment:
 * RE: Parentheses – I conformed my comment to that of SmokeyJoe whose comment my comment immediately followed and format I adopted.
 * RE: San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium – I don't think you can say the title never existed in real life as I distinctly remember hearing it many times in my youth. A Google Books search returns numerous results. Hence, my reason for mentioning it. Perhaps it was not an official title, but it did exist, possibly as a crossover between the old and new names. Kimdorris (talk) 09:21, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Still support Jack Murphy Stadium 9/10,
 * but San Diego Stadium 8/10 is a very strong contender, pointing particularly to this:

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/aztecs/story/2020-06-03/nfl-san-diego-chargers-stadium-sdsu-new-stadium-coryell-sid-gillman-afl
 * San Diego Stadium (1967-2020) could become and option if "San Diego Stadium" becomes associated with a new dominant San Diego stadium, which is not currently on the cards, with Aztec Stadium being a poor replacement, and likely to stick with the name "Aztec Stadium". --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:52, 5 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Update. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the name reverted to "San Diego Stadium" on the expiration of the SDCCU naming rights agreement on Jan. 1. The article explicitly says that "the stadium returns to its original name", i.e., San Diego Stadium. So that's a reason to move to San Diego Stadium now and away from the worst of four options where it currently sits. We can obviously continue this debate now or wait to see how future reliable sources treat the stadium. Dohn joe (talk) 22:30, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Inactive stadiums don't necessarily go by their final names; that's the entire point of this request.  O.N.R.  (talk) 02:51, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Right. The point of my post is that the major reliable source of the region explicitly says its name is now San Diego Stadium, just like it was SDCCU Stadium until last week. So the now title should be San Diego Stadium, and the future title can be revisited whenever. Dohn joe (talk) 18:15, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with this. This is not so much new, as it is a clarification of the naming rights agreement with San Diego County Credit Union, the end of agreement clause.  It clarifies that "San Diego Stadium" is the default name.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

San Diego Stadium or Jack Murphy Stadium?
This has become the main point of debate: it seems clear and obvious that one of these two names is the best option, but we haven't yet figured out which one.  O.N.R.  (talk) 05:35, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Google Ngrams have the two competing, and the apparent ngram count winner depends on how you compare. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:25, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks like Jack Murphy Stadium gets significantly more use in recent years compared to San Diego Stadium. Here's a zoomed-in version. (This may be biased by references to past events, but the two names were active for around the same amount of time.)  O.N.R.  (talk) 03:06, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium scores very well considering it is five words versus 3 for the others. -SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:44, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * "San Diego Jack Murphy Stadium" would fall afoul of policy, because the common name during that period was quite obviously "Jack Murphy Stadium" alone. (This is why the Astrodome's page is there instead of .)  O.N.R.  (talk) 09:53, 10 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I don't think we can dismiss Qualcomm as the common name in reliable sources going forward. Adding it to the chart shows each with dominance in their own era, and no clear favorite as of two years ago. Which is why I think we rename to "San Diego Stadium" now, as the current actual name, and revisit this discussion later. As I said above, my current #2 is in fact Qualcomm. Dohn joe (talk) 23:19, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think this is the best option for now: San Diego Stadium and then revisit in a year or two. This is similar to when Cleveland Browns Stadium was renamed FirstEnergy Stadium in 2013. Because there was an existing FirstEnergy Stadium (a minor league baseball park in Reading, PA), the NFL stadium article was called "FirstEnergy Stadium (Cleveland)" and "FirstEnergy Stadium" was a disambiguation page. We figured the NFL stadium would become the primary topic, but given the circumstances at the time (name change happened during the offseason, so not many sources to establish it as the primary topic), it was revisited three years later and shifted accordingly. By then, it was very clear which was the primary topic. Obviously different here as we're not dealing with primary topic, but related in that waiting a bit can sometimes make the decision clearer. --JonRidinger (talk) 16:20, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm going to support this proposal. As per this, it is known as San Diego Stadium today, and we can revisit this once it's demolished. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 21:21, 11 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'm throwing in the towel on this debate. It really feels like we're making ZERO progress. We've come full circle, and are now rehashing the same arguments. It doesn't seem like anyone has a clear idea of how to move forward because there are three disjointed camps and no one is willing to budge, negotiate, or compromise. I have more important things to spend my time and energy on. Cheers. Kimdorris (talk) 07:13, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
