Article name

Per WP:COMMONNAME, I suggest that Hong Kong at the 2010 Winter Olympics is a better name for the article than the current Hong Kong, China at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Cordless Larry (talk) 11:52, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree - Hong Kong is the common name and the "China" disambiguation is not necessary and makes the title too long. Laurent (talk) 14:57, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have now realised that this is a wider issue, with the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics pages for Hong Kong being similarly named, and the same being true of all of the Summer Olympics pages since 2000. Where is best to discuss this? Cordless Larry (talk) 15:52, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. LarRan (talk) 16:19, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The last move broke the name. There should be no comma after "China". Look at the categories to see the naming conventions for these articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.65.41.20 (talk) 16:57, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

With out the comma, it will look like two separate clauses: "Hong Kong" and "China at the 2010 Winter Olympics". The end comma concludes the parenthetical (the qualifier), and is needed. However, I believe that the qualification could be scrapped altogether. There is only one Hong Kong. LarRan (talk) 19:33, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the centralised discussion at WikiProject Olympics. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:38, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hong Kong, China at the 2000 Summer Olympics → Hong Kong at the 2000 Summer Olympics — There is no need for the "China" in the titles of these articles because there is only one Hong Kong, and per WP:COMMONNAME. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:59, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support. "Hong Kong" is the common name, and the "China" disambiguation is not necessary and makes the title too long. Laurent (talk) 23:27, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support The entity is "Hong Kong" according to the IOC, just like Taiwan is "Chinese Taipei" 76.66.192.35 (talk) 06:05, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
