Requested move 3 October 2023

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The result of the move request was: Withdrawn by proposer. Now that Princess Theatre (New York, 29th Street) has been created during the course of this discussion, and since my proposed title doesn't meet the high threshold for WP:INCDAB, I am withdrawing this proposal with thanks to those who participated.

Princess Theatre (New York City, 1913–1955) → Princess Theatre (New York City) – This will revert an undiscussed move from 2017. There is no other article using the more WP:CONCISE title, so no need for the excess disambiguation. There was another theater using the name from 1980-1984 that is briefly covered in the Latin Quarter (nightclub) article. That can be targeted in a hatnote. A possible third use of the name from 1902-1907 is not covered on WP and might not be notable. Station1 (talk) 06:43, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Support. This can easily be covered with a hatnote to the disambiguation page, thus covering both alternative theatres. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:15, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. There are at least two other theatres in NYC, including a Broadway theatre, that have been called "Princess Theatre": Princess Theatre (New York, 29th Street), built in 1875 and known as the Princess Theatre from 1902 to 1907. Also, Princess Theatre (New York City, 1980–1984), which operated on the site of the Latin Quarter nightclub. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:25, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - This move doesn't seem to me to help our readers. Tim riley talk 18:10, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - changing the article’s name will just cause confusion Jack1956 (talk) 18:42, 3 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
