I am moving the article back to where it was as it is about the whole company, not just the ferry. Unisouth 17:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I see you've moved the article back to Gosport Ferry Company Ltd. But - there's no such thing as the "Gosport Ferry Company Ltd". The ferry is operated by the Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company plc, as this sourced version  clearly showed. I cannot see any reason for the article to be located at a restrictive and incorrectly named location where a simpler one is available in accordance with Wikipedia:Naming conventions. Is there some reason why you think the article should be restricted to one (non-existent) company, when it would have clearly more scope to grow and develop if it were about the whole entity?

replies: text: If you have been to see the website, it clearly states at the top - Gosport Ferry Company Ltd. I think the website is down at the moment but it will be at www.gosportferry.co.uk . It is about the whole entity not just the ferry service, so it will remain at the original article namespace. Unisouth 10:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As you say, the website gosportferry.co.uk is currently down, so is therefore not a reliable or usable source. However, the website of Falkland Islands Holdings clearly states that the ferry is operated through a 100% shareholding in a company called The Portsmouth Harbour Ferry Company PLC. Irrespective of that, the article name doesn't conform to Wikipedia naming conventions where a simpler alternative exists. I suggest a requested move so that a vote can be taken.

replies: text: The comapny that is part of that company is the original title of that article. Why dont you wait until the website is back up then we make a decision. It isn't a suitable alternative as it clearly states it just about the ferry. It is about the cruises, tours and the ferry. And to a lesser extent - the pontoons themselves. You can type gosport ferry in and will go to that article so you dont have to remember the full title. What more do you want? Unisouth 10:31, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
