Talk:Wheatland (James Buchanan House)

Requested move 4 May 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: not moved. While there is support in this discussion for using WP:NATURAL disambiguation when it is available, there is general consensus that the proposed title is neither the common name for this house nor suitable as a form of natural disambiguation. Whilst the proposer placed emphasis on "confusion" caused by businesses with the name "Wheatland", no evidence was provided of ambiguity, especially given the current usage of parenthetical disambiguation. If an editor thinks that he has a good proposal for editing the current parenthetical disambiguation, I would suggest that he open a new requested move for that purpose.

Wheatland (James Buchanan House) → President James Buchanan's Wheatland – The proposed rename of the Wikipedia listing is to reflect what LancasterHistory.org, the non-profit that manages Wheatland, calls the site. The current name is confusing since many other businesses in Lancaster share the name Wheatland. Lancasterhistory (talk) 15:29, 4 May 2016 (UTC) --Relisted.

 * Comment what is the WP:COMMONNAME ? We do not use WP:OFFICIALNAMEs just because they are official -- 70.51.200.96 (talk) 07:03, 5 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose per "the Wheatland estate now is a historic house museum called President James Buchanan's Wheatland" in this source. The name "President James Buchanan's Wheatland" appears to be a tourist marketing name for the house (WP:OFFICIALNAME) but not the historically common name.   The article is about the house and it history, not just the current museum/attraction.  —  AjaxSmack   23:04, 14 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Support. It does appear to be a name that's valid for the house, and is better than the present by WP:NATURALDIS. The present disambiguator is particularly odd because it looks like a composite of two alternative names, one as a disambiguator. We already don't do that, per the move of Football (soccer). &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 18:22, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * &#8203;The current disambiguator is a little odd but the proposed title is even odder. We don't have articles on President Andrew Jackson's The Hermitage or President James Madison's Montpelier.  In short, it's a very unnatural WP:NATURALDIS. —  AjaxSmack   03:25, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
