message: I've archived the most recent logos for the company, I updated the infobox logo with the vertical variant, I leave it to any concerned editors to decide if they'd rather switch to the horizontal variant. Sadly, the PDF file I used as a source can't seem to be archived by archive.org (link), if anyone knows of a way to force the Internet Archive to save the file, feel free to add an archive URL to the file pages. =)

replies: text: When you go to the Bed Bath & Beyond website, you are going to the former Overstock.com website that has been rebranded. See https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/01/business/bed-bath-beyond-relaunch/index.html and https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/01/bed-bath-beyond-relaunches-as-online-only-retailer.html talking about the former Overstock.com as the new Bed Bath & Beyond.

replies: text: Right but can you provide evidence that when people are looking for Bed Bath and Beyond they aren't looking for the former big-box retailer? Esolo5002 (talk) 14:07, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

text: I think @Zzyzx11's solution is the best option put forward so far. I do think the primary page should be a dab page to the two new pages, I definitely don't think we need to wait a year to do these things as much has changed rapidly with these entities. —Locke Cole • t • c 03:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The changes with the official names of the legal entities are not yet relevant because the brand awareness is still tied to the old big-box stores, not the new online store. See WP:COMMONNAME.  For example, the Czech Republic and Turkey have been trying to get everyone to call them Czechia and Turkiye for quite a while now, but WP is still keeping the article titles at the most common names for those countries in English. Per WP:COMMONNAME, we go with the most typical common usage in reliable sources, and for now, Bed Bath & Beyond in most reliable sources still refers to a now-defunct chain of big-box stores.  It may eventually come to refer to the online store that took over the brand, but that hasn't happened yet.  Under WP:NOT, WP merely follows, it never leads. --Coolcaesar (talk) 05:33, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
