SCE Japan Studio → Japan Studio — None of these studios are referred to with the SCE name in front in normal usage. For example most notably would be SCE Japan Studio and Santa Monica Studio which are mostly referred to in their articles as simply Japan Studio and Santa Monica Studio. In addition, most of the pages such as Japan Studio simply redirect to SCE Japan Studio, there is no point using [[SCE Japan Studio|Japan Studio]] in all of the articles which have Japan Studio as a developer, the same can be said for the other studios.

SCE Cambridge Studio → Cambridge Studio
SCE London Studio → London Studio
SCE Studio Liverpool → Studio Liverpool
SCE Santa Monica Studio → Santa Monica Studio
SCE San Diego Studio → San Diego Studio

Agree Normal usuage is without the SCE. Although the individual articles should make the reader aware of both the Common and the Official names. - X201 (talk) 08:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agree per X201. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 21:38, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge most of these into the parent article. Most of these articles are lists of the games developed at the studio. A combined list in the main article, or a separate list article for the games, would seem to be a wise choice. In addition, that approach avoids the issue of any potential ambiguity of the proposed names. While we may not have articles today, at a minimum, both San Diego Studio and Santa Monica Studio are ambiguous. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:19, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Disagree with this suggestion. Many of the SCE studios have their own distinctive history, with many having had prior identities before joining SCE and many still having distinctive traits. Numerous content could therefore be added onto each article, which is already the case with certain pages, and can be expanded further as well. ···巌流^{? · talk to ganryuu} 21:38, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose naming them (Placename) studio does not adequately identify them to the wider world, and as a result in a search engine would be most unhelpful. Leave as they are as the SCE prefix indicates more. billinghurst sDrewth 17:11, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Some of these like London Studio are definitely ambiguous, the SCE aids precision. Fences&Windows 19:01, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. "Japan Studio" is arguably the studio in Japan of any multinational company. Similarly, for some people, "London Studio" is Kent House. 81.110.111.164 (talk) 02:32, 11 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
