Talk:Donnybrook Stadium

message: The capacity figures on different articles conradict eachother. Are there any reliable sources for the capacities of the stand and the ground as a whole?
Can't help you on that one but it seems quite unlikely that it could hold 12,000+. Are the any references for the future capacity which the article states to be 25,000?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.83.71.202 (talk) 08:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I would like to raise this again. The stadium is no longer called Donnybrook Stadium and is referred to as Energia Park. I can share the examples of this if you like. Also the point made previously about "sport venues in the UK and Ireland should not be titled under their sponsor name", how do locations such as the Aviva & Emirates Stadium and more work around this? Or is this a case that a new page needs to be set up? As I mentioned before I am not familiar with all the technicalities of Wiki editing but this seems like there should be a simple way to make this updateJcoleman10 (talk) 09:14, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

text: I strongly advise you to review the previous discussion on this issue(linked to above).  It isn't hard from a technical standpoint to retitle an article, the question is if it is a good idea to do so.  Current policy and standard practices support the current name.  I can't speak to the other stadium names(perhaps they are the common name). 331dot (talk) 09:20, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

text: And that being said, if you're relying on Emirates Stadium or Aviva Stadium (say) for examples ... other than UEFA competitions, they've never been known as anything else.  Beyond that, this bit from the above conversation remains in play: "And per WP:OFFICIALNAMES and WP:COMMONNAME - as guidelines/norms. In general terms, unless and until a new or sponsorship name enters common use (to the extent that it becomes the common name), then articles should remain as they are. Reflecting, as is the case here, the name in common use. Anything else is premature."  I rather doubt that all that's changed in only two months.  Come back and try again in two years.
