Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ABSA Park → Hoffe Park Stadium — This stadium is no longer called ABSA Park, as the sponsership from ABSA has ended. It is currently called GWK Park, also for sponsership reasons. I propose that the article be moved to 'Hoffe Park Stadium', as that is the stadiums 'non-sponspered' name. This is because sponserships often change, and stadium articles should be listed at their common names. I would include the fact that GWK is a title sponser in the article though.

I will wait 7 days before moving the page, any support or objections should be logged here. Crazydude22 (talk) 15:32, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support Stadiums change official names often due to sponsorship changes, but generic/common name for the stadium tend to stay in general use. This article name is already obsolete due to sponsorship change. --NJR_ZA (talk) 16:15, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support A sponsored name is a type of temporary alias or nickname and is subject to change at any time. The actual "permanent place name" should be used. This should apply as a rule to all "sponsor name" sports venues. Roger (talk) 17:01, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
