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. 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: Page moved. Since there are no opposes, and the editor who carried out the original move is neutral on the matter, it seems uncontroversial to move it back. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 14:06, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Super 8 Worldwide → Super 8 Motels – With respect to Steel1943, I think the move of this page to the company's official name was hasty. The former name remains the WP:COMMONNAME based on evidence. In a general Google search, "super 8 motels" beats "super 8 worldwide" 815,000 to 209,000. In Google Books, it's 5450 to 5 (!). All searches included -wikipedia. Furthermore, it's very unlikely that the current name would be used in non-official contexts; it really smacks of branding. On the other hand, COMMONNAME says " If the name of a person, group, object, or other article topic changes, then more weight should be given to the name used in reliable sources published after the name change than in those before the change." I wasn't even aware of this until very recently because from what I've seen, this clause seems to generally be ignored. BDD (talk) 19:52, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. @BDD: This was one of my first edits ever on Wikipedia, back during the days when I was trying to "learn the ropes". I boldly performed this move when it was recommended to me by another editor on my talk page. (Click here to see the archived discussion on my talk page). At this point (and after doing at least 10,000 edits since then), I honestly have no opinion on the title of this article. Steel1943 (talk) 21:16, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
