George Floyd Square → George Perry Floyd Square – official name and common name Josethewikier (talk) 06:49, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Revert back to George Floyd Square. This page move by Josethewikier was premature and should have occurred AFTER discussion and AFTER reaching consensus, not before as it cannot be easily undone. "George Perry Floyd Square" is not the common name; "George Floyd Square" is the common name. Even the City of Minneapolis refers to it colloquially as George Floyd Square, such as here and here and here. Most reliable sources refer to it as "George Floyd Square", such as the New York Times on May 19, 2024. Rarely is it referred to by the signed street name "George Perry Floyd Square". Even this MPR article that uses the signed street name "George Perry Floyd Square" only does so once in a photo caption about the street sign but it refers to it as "George Floyd Square" 14 other times in the same article.
