message: Shouldn't it be called the O2 instead of the O2? Are there any typographical problems in this?

replies: text: According to an anonymous edit summary to the article recently: `The 2 of the O2 name should only be subscripted when used in a graphical logotype.' Not sure where this is coming from - one could always chuck an email to their PR people and see if you get any response. --Neo 15:39, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The logo we have on the article page clearly shows the 2 as a subscript. --AlisonW 18:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

text: There's a note on the company's article which says that the subscript is only for the logo, and not the company's actual name. I would presume the same for the dome. the wub "?!" 18:56, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

text: As the wub rightly pointed out two months ago, the company itself uses subscript only for the logo and not for normal typographic purposes. This applies both to the telecoms company's websites and other literature and to the publicity material for the entertainment venue. It also applies to other articles on Wikipedia, notably that on the main parent company, Telefónica O2. So why does this article persist in the use of subscript? If no one can give me a good reason, I'll (eventually) change it myself. Russ London 10:35, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  O2 or O<sub>2</sub>? 

message: I'm noting that every time someone appears (or is announced to appear) at the O2 someone is adding to the entry. Leave alone that this could have some element of advertising, I'm not really sure it aids the reader looking for information about the building / venue to find a list of everyone who has performed there (which, of course, will by its nature be incomplete anyway). This doesn't happen with other venues and, to me, it wouldn't appear to be 'encyclopaedic'. Comments? --AlisonW 00:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually alot of articles do list all events.  Some articles on venues seem to exist simply for promotional purposes.  See Manchester Evening News Arena, Hallam FM Arena and Wembley Arena. Tbo 157talk 11:10, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Listing artists 

message: I removed these, they either need turning into there own list article or moving as the list will grow and take over the article, source for them would be nice as well before we end up with people adding small bands to publicity. --Nate1481( t/c) 14:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the comment.  A separate article is unnecessary.  A separate article did once exist but was deleted per an AfD.  I think we need more input on whether such a list is necessary and if not, to decide which performances are notable enough.  Thanks. Tbo 157(talk) 16:15, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: It has been proposed by User:KelleyCook that "The O2 arena" section of this article should be split into a new article entitled "The O2 arena (London)" due to the size of the article, which is likely to continue growing.  Tbo 157(talk) 18:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

message: What about Wembley Arena, Earls Court One, London Docklands Arena ?  Don't they all count as multi-pupose?  (eg Rock concerts / Royal Tournament / Boat Show at Earls Court?)  Jheald (talk) 18:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure about the others but I suspect Earls Court wouldn't count as 'american style'?  However I'm not entirely sure what this means! I would have thought that the Docklands Arena in particular was very similar in usage and design to the O2, if not on the same scale.Paulbrock (talk) 21:51, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "First American style multi-purpose arena in London" ? 

message: Not sure that is the case; a Google search for "The O2 dome" throws up far fewer results than "The O2" or "The O2 arena". Unless someone can provide a reliable citation for this statement, I think we should remove this sentence. DavidJones (talk) 10:59, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's a great leap of imagination that people commonly refer to the whole site as the o2 Arena, rather than just the arena inside. I doubt anybody calls it the o2 dome, although I bet plenty of people also still call it the dome, adding to the confusion. But I have no clue how you would prove any of that with a source (or rather how to find one that specifically says that), so if it irks you that much, remove it I guess. *shrugs* MickMacNee (talk) 22:37, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: File:O2 Arena Cutaway Image.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: In 2009 it was reported that the O2 arena and the O2 (used interchangeably in the media but distinctively here) were bought by Trinity College Cambridge. I don't know if this info is still current (it is on the college's wiki page, which references a 2009 article) but on here it merely says it is owned ultimately by English Partnerships, which is a defunct govt agency. It feels as though the info regarding ownership is relevant, but as I don't have access to up-to-date sources, I cannot add it. If anyone knows, I think the article could benefit from its addition.
