message: I just moved this page from LaSalle to La Salle because their official website  and Google Maps  both use the two-word version of the name. Also, when there was a major fire there, all the news articles referred to the city as La Salle .
One thing to note is that the Census Bureau uses one word (LaSalle) as their name for it.  BhamBoi (talk) 04:15, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I did find at least a dozen more sources with La Salle, there are still a few using one word, like this. BhamBoi (talk) 04:23, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm inclined to move this article back to LaSalle. The Census Bureau using the name LaSalle is more relevant than news sources generally being mixed. While both are valid spellings, the Census Bureau is probably what we should stick with when there are inconsistencies. Elli (talk | contribs) 09:38, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Additionally, a page on the city's website about the city's history uses LaSalle repeatedly. Elli (talk | contribs) 09:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

text: It's very mixed. I think an RM may be in order, could you initiate it? Thanks BhamBoi (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  sure. Would you mind if I moved the page back first, though? Since that was the long-standing article title (since 2007) and there wasn't a discussion preceding your move. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:48, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Go ahead.  BhamBoi (talk) 02:50, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted the move. Probably makes more sense for you to open the RM. If you don't want to deal with the templates, I'd be happy to do that part if you just post your nomination statement. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:25, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
