Help me!
I'd like to rename the page for Amazon_Tower_I, as the building is officially called "Doppler", not simply "also known as" Doppler. The page should be titled something like "Amazon Doppler Tower". Like all Amazon buildings in Seattle, the name of the building is etched in large letters on the glass by the main entrance. I'm not sure what the protocol is for a change like this as it seems like a fairly big deal. I'm also not sure what kind of citation would support that, as Amazon doesn't have any public directory of their buildings. Thoughts?

Actually, I suppose the citation provided for "also known as Doppler" is actually a pretty strong citation that indicates that name of the tower is Doppler. Would that be enough? Aellus (talk) 03:25, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right. I've looked it up through other reliable sources, and it's indeed called Doppler. What's the name etched on it (Amazon Doppler? Doppler Tower?)? I'll move it to that name. —Hexafluoride Ping me if you need help, or post on my talk 10:19, 15 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Never mind. The page is now Doppler (building). —Hexafluoride Ping me if you need help, or post on my talk 12:02, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Awesome, thanks! FYI, the name is just "Doppler", so you were correct. The word "Doppler" is etched in the glass. I'm actually an Amazon employee so I am 100% certain of the name (plus towers 2 and 3) but that directory info is all internal and can't be cited :) Aellus (talk) 04:35, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

For future reference since I'm new to Wikipedia editing (but I'm not new to editing Wikimedia wikis), is renaming pages OK to do as long as the name has a citation? Does the rename need some kind of authorization? I'll likely want to rename Tower II soon once it opens and there's a Times article about it. Aellus (talk) 04:46, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * The guideline governing this is Moving. The gist of it is that you need an autoconfirmed account to move a non-protected page. Otherwise you need to submit a move request. The move has to fulfill different requirements depending on the situation, for example an article moved to its common name. In the case of the towers here, the reason for the move is to follow Wikipedia's article title policy. Since it's reliably referenced, and actually physically visible on the building, there's no controversy and consensus is generally not required. —Hexafluoride Ping me if you need help, or post on my talk 16:11, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
