== Article name == |

[[User:Zastavafan76]] has moved the article from [[Rolls-Royce Phantom (2003)]] to [[New Rolls-Royce Phantom]]. The reason given was:<br> |
|||
''it is easier to call it new rolls royce phantom or people will think the article is only about phantoms from '03'' |
|||
Tho' I agree with this (as far as the '03-only issue), I think the new name is quite more misleading because people might think the name of the car actually IS '''New Rolls-Royce Phantom''' (like [[Volkswagen New Beetle|New Beetle]]). |
|||
imo it's better to use ''Rolls-Royce Phantom'' as the article's name - with a specific attribute in brackets, after 'Phantom'. e.g. something like ''Rolls-Royce Phantom (new)''. I suggest: ''Rolls-Royce Phantom (BMW)''.--[[User:BSI|BSI]] 18:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC) |

This needs to be moved to Rolls-Royce Phantom. The original Phantom was called such until the Phantom II came out. |

:Shouldn't it be called Phantom VII? (if I counted right) --[[User:84.115.129.76|84.115.129.76]] 17:32, 22 November 2006 (UTC) |

So, how many people fit in there? How many seats, etc... |

:Better questions: How many small countries can't afford one? When are they releasing a [[Pink Panther]] edition? And are they for sale in [[Phantom Zone |Smallville]]? [[User:Trekphiler|Trekphiler]] 08:17, 1 January 2007 (UTC) |

Rolls Royce also had a "Grey Goose edition". which IMHO should be added to the page. |

==We need a "final solution" for the naming== |
|||
I think we need to obey convention and end this current name scheme. When Ford bought Jaguar, and Jaguar came up with a new S-Type, we didn't name the article for this page "Jaguar S-Type (Ford)". It was named just "Jaguar S-Type" because that's clearly what you'd be looking for if you typed it in, and because the older car is less sought after it was stuck with "Jaguar S-Type (1963)" after the year of introduction. I've found it irritating that the page for the current Rolls must so blatantly point out BMW's controlling interest. It seems, IMO, to be a bit of BMW-POV-pushing, to name articles in this unprecedented way. |
|||
For "Rolls-Royce Phantom", a searcher would clearly be looking for the modern car. If the user was looking for an old car, s/he would have a number ready. I think it's a rare enough instance that s/he was looking for the first Phantom and presumed it didn't have a number, to not be a meaningful problem. It's ridiculous that the article "Rolls-Royce Phantom" is reserved for a disambiguation page. We can move the page for the modern car there, and recreate the old page under the name "Rolls-Royce Phantom (disambiguation)" to handle that function. Can anyone see a problem with this?
