IRA Bombing

The link to the BBC story doesnt mention the hotel, it is about a series of bombings within Northern Ireland 86.158.27.179 (talk) 18:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 12 March 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Primary usage for "London Hilton Hotel" has not been demonstrated and there is no explicit opposition to a move to a disambiguated title. I am mindful that the page was created at "The London Hilton on Park Lane" in 2004 and then remained at that title, and "London Hilton on Park Lane" since 2010, until 2013. It is therefore the original and most long-standing of the alternatives. DrKiernan (talk) 12:05, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

London Hilton Hotel → London Hilton on Park Lane Hotel – The official name of this hotel is London Hilton on Park Lane Hotel. London Hilton Hotel - these are three keywords, that may refer to over 30 other Hilton hotels in London (it's not a unique title for the hotel in question), which is confusing and incorrectly. According to the Wikipedia guides about titles of articles they should be :"The title indicates what the article is about and distinguishes it from other articles." So to distinguish this article, it should be moved to London Hilton on Park Lane Hotel. Also nowhere around the web this exact hotel appears with the exact name "London Hilton hotel". --Relisted.

Comment. Looking back over articles in The Times since the hotel was opened in the 1960s, I can see it described variously as the Hilton Hotel (without further qualifier); the London Hilton Hotel; the London Hilton; the Hilton Hotel, London; and the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane. I would suggest that it should probably be therefore moved to Hilton Hotel, London (as it is the main hotel in London with that name) or the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane. The London Hilton on Park Lane Hotel looks odd (as it implies the London Hilton is on Park Lane Hotel) and doesn't appear to be used and London Hilton on Park Lane, which is its current official name, smacks of a marketing name, which we usually try to avoid as such names often change on a regular basis as the owners rebrand. We don't have to use official names if they're not commonly used names. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:48, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The London Hilton on Park Lane hotel was opened in 1963 and was probably then referred simply as "Hilton Hotel" because was one of the first Hilton hotels to be opened in London. However 55 years later The Waldorf Hilton Hotel London, The Trafalgar Hilton Hotel London, Hilton London Metropole, Hilton London Wembley, Hilton London Hyde Park, Hilton London Paddington, Hilton London Tower Bridge, Hilton London Islington, Hilton London Docklands and a few others have joined the Hilton portfolio of brands. Each one of the mentioned can now (in 2015) be referred as "Hilton Hotel London" and there is no such thing as a main hotel in London. In order to keep the information detailed and accurate, to distinguish this article from many others, and above all - to keep it up-to date, please consider "London Hilton on Park Lane" as the title of the article.

- Are you connected with the Hilton chain? Your tone and edit history suggest you are. When people think of the Hilton in London, I believe this is the hotel that most would be referring to, which is what I meant. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:36, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Most sources says London Hilton on (or in) Park Lane. There is no qualification of "Hotel" at the end of that. Therefore, I would support a move to "London Hilton, Park Lane" but not this current move. Mbcap (talk) 03:44, 28 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious

The Londonderry House article explicitly states that the Hilton was not built on its site. We need an expert editor to clarify this one way or the other, with good refs. --Ef80 (talk) 13:50, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
