Undiscussed move

Latest comment: 2 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

On 10 Sep 2024, this article was moved/retitled. Without discussion. From Bangor railway station (Northern Ireland) to Bangor Bus and Rail Centre (Northern Ireland). I have several concerns about this move. Not least:

OFFICIALNAME/COMMONNAME. The explanation given for the move is "to reflect Translink's Current Naming". This seems to be an WP:OFFICIALNAME argument. That Translink currently/officially calls it this (in their marketing materials and timetables and such), and so Wikipedia should follow suit. Ignoring the fact that no evidence was provided to support this, even if this was the (current) official name, Wikipedia's naming convention is based on WP:COMMONNAME (what something is commonly called) rather than what one entity officially calls it.
DAB. Even if it were evidenced/agreed that "Bangor Bus and Rail Centre" is the common name, why do we need the "(Northern Ireland)" parenthetical DAB suffix? Are there other articles or entities called Bangor Bus and Rail Centre?

(Bold moves are often perfectly OK. Where uncontroversial and considered in line with related naming policies. As per WP:RMUM. But, to my mind, several related guidelines - including WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCDAB - were not considered when this title was moved. And those guidelines now, after the fact, would ideally be considered.) Guliolopez (talk) 10:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've actually just moved this as well to remove the (Northern Ireland). That parenthesis was against WP:TITLE and is not at this time needed for disambiguation purposes. Probably should have checked here first, but it's done now. No comment on the actual rest of the name, but the Northern Ireland shouldn't have been there under that name. No objections to a move back if necessary if the name changes. Canterbury Tail talk 13:30, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
