Requested move 22 August 2016

Latest comment: 8 years ago8 comments6 people in discussion

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Most participants here were commenting on the proposal to move to plain Astoria, and clearly consensus was against that. On the modified proposal for Astoria (Amsterdam), nobody has commented specifically on that, so I think it should be restarted as a fresh RM for clarity. @Valgetova: feel free to start a new RM if you wish. The current title has existed since 2011. — Amakuru (talk) 10:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Astoria, Amsterdam → Astoria (Amsterdam) – Kindly note that the building itself is named "Astoria" as we can see on the street view of the address. Another reason of updating the name is to distinguish this article and property, from another, which appears to be connected by Google with the Astoria office building - Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam. Here we can see how the two properties are merged into one result. Updating the name will hopefully separate them. Also all the other connected articles in different languages in Russian, Nederlands and French include the name of the building itself - Astoria and the name of the city in brackets.Valgetova (talk) 13:01, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. The proposed target is Astoria, which is a disambiguation page with about 25 entries. The nominator doesn't even claim that this building is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC out of that lot. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:26, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Astoria, Queens is a much more likely primary topic than this building [1]. There are others too that have a better claim. Calidum ¤ 13:32, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I can agree with both, but have no idea why this building does not have an individual presence on Maps and how to resolve the issue. Okay, Thank you! If anything in mind on the case, please share ideas. Valgetova (talk) 15:06, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

This article should be moved back to Astoria (Amsterdam) as it is a building and not a place (cf. others in Category:Buildings and structures in Amsterdam). — AjaxSmack 02:40, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Oppose Not the primary topic. When I hear the name Astoria, I think of this place. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 06:53, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Agree AjaxSmack is right, because all the other connected articles in different languages in Russian, Nederlands and French include the name of the building itself - Astoria and the name of the city in brackets. Think it's reasonable enough to change back the name of the article to Astoria (Amsterdam), so changing the initial request. Valgetova (talk) 07:44, 23 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
