Talk:Boleyn Ground

message: Not being funny but wouldn't it make more sense for this article to be called Upton Park?  I only found the page as I was looking at a list of Premier League grounds and I wondered who played there.  I was suprised to find out it was West Ham.  KingStrato 17:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Pretty much the only time you here "Boleyn Ground" is when people explain that the place isn't officially called Upton Park. So far as everyday English is concerned, it is called Upton Park. Oliver Han 12:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. It's perfectly easy to find via "Upton Park". 122.57.177.70 (talk) 02:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spelling Corrections 

message: I've reverted the move to Upton Park (stadium) per the R bit of WP:BRD as I feel this needs a full WP:RM discussion.  There are a few reasons for this - the article has been at this title for a very long time, most of the talk page comments used to support the move are very old and recently I've seen the correct name being given more preference to the common name when the later is wrong.  I'd also like to see some analysis of sources before the move is made.  I currently think it should stay at this title but could be persuaded otherwise by a good argument.

thread_title:  Move reverted 

message: I know we've only just finished the move request, but some people did say in the move section that it may be true that when people search for Upton Park they are looking for the stadium and not the area or anything else. I just want to point out that Hibernian's stadium Easter Road is the primary topic ahead of the road of the same name, and the same with Liverpool's stadium Anfield being the primary topic ahead of the district of the same name. Something that confuses me in each of the secondary topics is that Anfield stadium is also in Liverpool and Easter Road stadium is also in Edinburgh. Also, Tannadice redirects to Dundee United's ground Tannadice Park ahead of a village of the same name and, and this is similar to what, the original move was based upon, St. Mirren's old ground St. Mirren Park is called Love Street (stadium) as it was located near a street called Love Street. So, I think either Upton Park should be moved to Upton Park (disambiguation) to allow Upton Park to redirect here, or more simply, if it can be agreed, this page gets moved to Upton Park. I'll go with what the majority agree on. What do you think?.
Also, look at Upton Park's talk page, there is someone else who thinks this too, although the comment is two years old. Unreal7 (talk) 08:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Leave it as it is. The district is Upton Park, London. The ground is the Boleyn Ground. In many footballing issues on Wiki we have said 'what do the club say'. For example transfer fees, if transfers have happened etc. In this case their official name is Boleyn Ground. No one has made any case for Commonname and definitely not for the use of the word 'stadium' after Upton Park'. To have the supposed name of the ground over the long established name of a district of London as a default is very odd --Egghead06 (talk) 08:33, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Newcastle's official name is the Sports Direct Arena, still called St. James' Park. Unreal7 (talk) 09:29, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A very weak argument; that's to do with sponsor's names not being accepted. GiantSnowman 10:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said above, St. Mirren's old ground, St. Mirren Park, was called Love Street as it was located in a street called Love Street. Unreal7 (talk) 18:36, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
