Requested move 20 April 2015

[edit]
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. Evidence was provided that the museum is actually known under such name. At first sight, The Valentine (museum) seems more fitting but it would surely be challenged as unnecessary disambiguation. There is no other entity called 'The Valentine' from which it needs to be kept separate, per User:Cuchullain. So assuming we want to do the move at all, it should be at the unqualified name.

Valentine Richmond History CenterThe Valentine – the museum has underwent revitalization, in which changed the name of the museum from the longer previous name, stated in the article's current title, to the new name which is The Valentine. In the text, The Valentine is listed as the current name of the museum, but the article's title is listed as the former name. I am the public relations and marketing coordinator for the museum and editing the article's title to the current name The Valentine assists online visitors to find the new website domain, which is also listed in the article: TheValentine.org --Relisted.

Discussion

[edit]

Perhaps worth relisting in view of the (unsubstantiated) claim above that the new name has taken root. I note the disclosure of WP:COI by nom (good) but there seems no valid rationale in terms of WP:AT, as of yet. Andrewa (talk) 20:44, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Andrewa: Agreed. I've relisted the discussion and posted evidence that the new name has, indeed "taken root" in the sources.--Cúchullain t/c 17:04, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I might have got around to doing that but there was a risk of someone closing the RM meantime of course, and similarly thanks for relisting, good call. Note my change of vote above. Progress. Andrewa (talk) 03:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative proposal

[edit]

I note above some opposition to the move to The Valentine but mostly support for The Valentine (museum), but is that a consensus? Several supporters of the original proposal are silent on this as an alternative, so far, and there is one note of dissent.

I can argue it both ways, am happy with either, and note that we seem to have strong consensus to move, it's just a question of where to exactly. Andrewa (talk) 17:10, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Procedural close. There should not be more than one move request active at a time, as that causes confusion, and the second request is not listed at WP:RM. Editors are free to suggest alternative titles such as The Valentine (museum) in the request above, before it closes, if they so desire.

Rewriting the article

[edit]

This article has a LOT of problems, but its subject is notable and worthwhile. I've reached out to a couple of subject matter experts. If they are cooperative, together we can fix the problems with the article. Give us at least a few days. Lou Sander (talk) 15:16, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is now 87% better after including several references / reliable sources. MPS (talk) 19:33, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

History sub-Sections

[edit]

User: CorporateM recentlly deleted ALL subsections in the history section, but I reverted because I am of the opinion that subsection headers adds clarity to the history. I looked at a couple other museum articles and some of them seem to have quite extensive history sections... examples: Solomon_R._Guggenheim_Museum#History & Denver_Art_Museum#History_of_the_museum ... I am not saying that wiki policy demands subsections, but I think it is good form to have subsections if the history section of the article is very long. Thoughts?
