Press articles announcing the official change of name shouldn't count. What would count is independent reliable sources using the new name and not mentioning the old one. This particular proposed name seems confusing, while the old one is clear. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 17:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

• Weak oppose pending evidence of common name being used (not just an announcement of an intent to change the name) in independent reliable sources. I suspect that independent sources will feel the need to clarify what they are referring to, such as referring to the "Virginia housing agency" or "Virginia Housing department" instead of just saying "Virginia Housing" did something-or-other. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Virginia Housing Development Authority → Virginia Housing – Organization rebranded in 2020 and has since been referred to by its new name in a number of independent reliable sources: https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/local/virginia/1-million-grant-application-open-for-habitat-for-humanity-of-virginia-affiliates/291-42986215-8d0c-4742-95bb-6c02193474cb, https://www.virginiabusiness.com/article/virginia-housing-ceo-to-retire/, https://www.wtkr.com/news/affordable-housing-apartment-complex-opens-in-norfolk+Joshuabriere (talk) 19:59, 23 April 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). – robertsky (talk) 18:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. Yes, as the nom indicated, there was discussion on my User talk page, and I think overall there is now adequate evidence for the move. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
