message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the proposal was move per request per consensus. Additionally, books/news searches are preferred in most cases to web searches and doing so shows a much higher disparity favoring the move. For example, Google books returns 3 results for the current title and 830 for target; news shows 99 versus 714. Moreover, taking into account the recentness of the name change, a search of the past month still shows twice the hits for the target.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:06, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Exactly. From one bad name to another. And this will continue for as long as the naming policy continues to be ignored. The policy is the product of a great deal of work and reflection by a great many people, and as a result it does make sense most of the time. Andrewa (talk) 06:55, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 

message: *Support - modern football is such that stadiums/competitions change name every few years due to sponsorship. ALL problems can be avoided by locating the article at the official (i.e. non-sponsor) name. GiantSnowman 20:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I tend to agree with this proposed move, and it's an excellent example of why official names aren't in general high on the list of considerations when deciding an article name, see the official Wikipedia policy.
But I'd like to see some more evidence that the proposed article title really is the common name in English. Andrewa (talk) 19:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

message: OK, I don't know if there are certain rules for that on Wikipedia, but the stadium is NOT called "Volksparkstadion", its name is "Imtech Arena". A sponsor pays to call the stadium like that, so now it's OFFICIALLY called "Imtech Arena". The name is "Imtech Arena" and nobody can change that, by saying, "but Volksparkstadion sounds nicer" or whatever. That's also with other stadiums, it's not called Waldstadion, it's called Commerzbank-Arena, it's not called Westfalenstadion, it's Signal Iduna Park. Besides commentators NEVER say Waldstadion or Volksparkstadion, they ALWAYS say Commerzbank-Arena and Imtech-Arena. The others are just wrong...
OK, didn't want to overdo it, but I always wonder why it's like that, maybe the rules are like that, but then they make no sense, as these names are over, the Signal Iduna Park is Signal Iduna Park and not Westfalenstadion. But one funny thing is, that, if there is a rule, which says you have to take the old traditional unofficial name, you must rename Veltins-Arena into Arena AufSchalke, because the 2nd was the original name from 2001-2005, and then Veltins payed to rename it, so you will have to change that article if there is such an official Wikipedia-Rule;)--SamWinchester000 (talk) 11:27, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
