Talk:Mexican Grand Prix

Herman Tilke graphic

Hello, would it be possible for the Herman Tilke graphic to be rotated so that the orientation is the same as the other two beneath it? As it is, it is very difficult to compare how the track has evolved and changed through the years. I think that it also needs to be moved to the bottom as that would show the chronological changes better. I would do this myself, but I have no idea when it comes to graphics. Thanks.

Official names

The "Official names" section is laughable. The official name was the same all along until 2019. The minor variations on the front covers of the programs are merely typographical, or branding at best. Such covers should not be misconstrued as evidence of an official name change. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:00, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Posters shouldn't be used as evidence of an official name, period. SSSB (talk) 20:04, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes. That's why it'll be better to remove this silly section. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 22:53, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Is this page special? Every single Formula One Grand Prix article has this section. Why did you remove it at all only for this one? An user in the past had to go to great lengths so as to provide all those sources (from the same origin) that report how the Grand Prix was called for some editions, despite having small differences. This job was done for every single Formula One Grand Prix article and I thought it was appreciated. It is the first time a circumstance by removing it at all occurs, as well as I'm experiecing it. But I repeat, why only for this one? Just have a look at each Grand Prix page, what I mean. It's full. I don't understand why you make some decision out of the blue from time to time actually. There is always the Wiki Project Formula One page to talk specifically, rather than removing an entire section.Island92 (talk) 00:44, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Why this page? Because I noticed it here. Yes, it is always unfortunate if someone has put in a lot of work, but you have to admit, this section is really flawed. I do agree with you that since it is on all GP articles, it is better if this is centrally discussed on the projectpage. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:41, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

@Island92: you might want to take a look at WP:EFFORT. SSSB (talk) 18:37, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 26 March 2024

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not moved as the consensus was this is too soon for a page rename; not enough coverage in secondary sources using the new name. (non-admin closure) microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 18:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Mexican Grand Prix → Mexico City Grand Prix – official name (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 22:25, 23 March 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 2pou (talk) 17:33, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

The motor race has only been called the Mexico City Grand Prix since 2021 - therefore it has been known officially as the Mexican Grand Prix for the great majority of its history.Nigel Ish (talk) 22:41, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

• @Heroeswithmetaphors and Nigel Ish: Courtesy pings on queried move request. -2pou (talk) 17:34, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

  No one calls it by the old name anymore. The naming history should be in the article, but the title should be the current name. I don't see why we need to use more brain cells on this. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 19:45, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

• Preliminary oppose. No actual evidence of a change in common name has been provided. O.N.R. ^(talk) 21:23, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
• Comment: A similar situation exists with the Brazilian Grand Prix, which is currently held under the name "São Paulo Grand Prix". DH85868993 (talk) 08:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose for now. I just did a quick Google search and I'm not sure that WP:COMMONNAME can be determined either way (I will have to do a more detailed search later). As we don't use the official name just because it is the official name, and given that for most of its history it has been the Mexican Grand Prix, I do not see any justifiable reason to move this page.
