Title of article
This article is currently called Canadian Speckle Park. However, as far as I can see the name of the breed is actually just "Speckle Park". For example, that is the name used throughout the web pages of the Canadian Speckle Park Association itself, as well as by breeders in Canada and other parts of the world. Most (though not quite all) of Google hits on the phrase "Canadian Speckle Park" are for the Canadian Speckle Park Association, not for the breed as such. The phrase "Speckle Park" on its own has very many more hits.
I suggest that the article is renamed Speckle Park. Any thoughts? Richard New Forest (talk) 21:57, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Requested moves
 | It has been proposed in this section that multiple pages be renamed and moved. A bot will list this discussion on requested moves' current discussions subpage within an hour of this tag being placed. The discussion may be closed 7 days after being opened, if consensus has been reached (see the closing instructions). Please base arguments on article title policy, and keep discussion succinct and civil. Please use {{subst:requested move}}. Do not use {{requested move/dated}} directly. |
– Drop "Canadian" per WP:COMMONNAME because the breed itself is not normally referred to with the "Canadian" prefix (see previous discussion on this talk page); rather, the national breed association is named the Canadian Speckle Park Association, and most "Canadian Speckle Park" hits are for the organization not the breed. Add "cattle" because "Speckle Park" is hopelessly naturally ambiguous and will be interpreted by almost all readers as a place. Will be consistent with White Park cattle. See recently concluded requested moves of the same sort of Australian Pit Game -> Australian Pit Game fowl, and West African Dwarf -> West African Dwarf goat, and many other similar cases, e.g. Asturian Valley cattle, San Clemente Island goat, Black Pied Dairy cattle, Australian Game fowl, Plymouth Rock chicken, Continental Giant rabbit, Gulf Coast Native sheep, Nigerian Dwarf goat, Australian Draught horse.
