thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Once again there seems to be an incipient edit war on the proper name for the article.  This has been round the blocks several times already; but will keep coming back so long as the name 'Etihad Stdium' becomes increasingly established as the only one in current use.  My own view is that the time to recognise this change of use in the name of the article is well overdue; but I fully accept that this is an issue on which a number of editors have strong views.  So I am just a sounding out of whether a formal request for a name change would now be considered appropriate by other editors?  
A few points I suggest as common ground:
- there are a number of established Wikipedia policies on article naming in respect of sponsored sports venues; but an absolute principle that sponsor names should be avoided is not one of them.  Unless this has changed since we last discussed the change? seeWikipedia:Article titles
- nevertheless; there are good grounds for Wikipedia not adopting a sponsor name simply because the stadium owner has entered into a naming deal: firstly, Wikipedia should not be manipulated to promote a commercial sponsorship agenda; secondly, that many such venues do subsequently change their sponsor name, and that then leaves the article title having to be changed; thirdly, that there can be ambiguity when the same sponsor has naming rights to other venues; and fourthly, that sponsor names frequently do not become established as the regular name in general use. Did anyone ever call the Manchester Arena the Phones4U Arena?  I see that many editors see delaying adoption of a sponsor name as a useful convention; and broadly, I concur.
- on the other hand; no name or edit in Wikipedia is fixed for all time, if it is not formal Wikipedia policy. There are increasing numbers of sports venues where the Wikipedia article name is indeed the sponsor name; Emirates Stadium, Allianz Arena, King Power Stadium.  The most important criteria is how the venue is most usually referred to, while seeking to avoid confusion and ambiguity.  Even though it may commonly be less desirable to use a sponsor name; that is very much a second order consideration.
But what do other editors think? TomHennell (talk) 15:08, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
