This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (edits have been made to state facts of organization. An organization affiliated with the UNWTO should have a description on Wikipedia) --Joshzorn (talk) 02:19, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association → ? – page title should be "IGLTA (International LGBTQ+ Travel Association)" the organization is referred as it's acronym, IGLTA. The organization changed the name with it's new branding in March of 2019 to "The International LGBTQ+ Travel Association" but still keeping the acronym as the main organization name. The change from gay & lesbian to LGBTQ+ when spelled out was to better reflect proper terminology for the LGBTQ+ community. In most references the organization is referred to as only IGLTA, therefore the full name is suggested to be within parentheses. https://www.iglta.org/Press-Room/ArtMID/9207/ArticleID/930/IGLTA-INTRODUCES-ALL-NEW-VISUAL-IDENTITY-WITH-REFRESHED-BRANDING-AND-LOGO 2603:3020:24BD:B000:B0A0:F36C:6E14:4A4D (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Move to International LGBTQ+ Travel Association?: The provided rationale is not very comprehensible, and Wikipedia never spells out an abbreviation in parentheses like what is suggested here. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:59, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
- Move to IGLTA - International LGBTQ+ Travel Association?: New suggestion to reflect the organization's proper name (see website[1])(see ITB Berlin exhibitor page[2]. The organization is widely known by the acronym IGLTA and still does business as both acronym and International LGBTQ+ Travel Association. Page title should reflect facts. It is a fact that it is not the International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association since March 5th of 2019.[3] —MrZandToby (talk) 13:49, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- As far as I know, Wikipedia does not ever title its articles with both an abbreviation and a spelled-out explanation of the abbreviation. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:44, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
In this case, the organization's DBA (doing business as) is "IGLTA - International LGBTQ+ Travel Association". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of facts, you can't change an organization's name to adjust to your perception of how Wikipedia should title an article. MrZandToby (talk) 16:39, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
