Title

I think this should be changed to Formula Four match the Formula One, Formula Two and Formula Three articles. Plus, it says it is also known as this, instead of Forumula 4, in the lead. Bigdon128 (talk) 14:52, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The official website consistently styles the name as "Formula 4" (or "F4"), so I think we should be guided by that. DH85868993 (talk) 01:50, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should be moved to Formula Four because it would be more consistent with the other Formula articles and doesn't the other Formula websites represent it the same way as the F4 website does? If its like that then shouldn't the other formula articles be moved like Formula One to Formula 1 and Formula Two to Formula 2 etc. Daniels Renault Sport (talk) 16:57, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I support moving everything to Formula 1, 2 and 3, since that's how we use them. --NaBUru38 (talk) 23:22, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Section needs to be updated as the Tatuus chassis is now in use. Probably should also go to some effort to explain how BRDC F4 is not a FIA F4 series. --Falcadore (talk) 08:22, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BRDC British Formula 4 Championship → BRDC British Formula 3 Championship – The championship under the name 'BRDC British Formula 4 Championship ' never existed. It's completely @Rokonader 's invention. Corvus tristis (talk) 08:13, 2 April 2016 (UTC) --Relisted. — Amakuru (talk) 08:20, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment - I am leaving a note at WT:MOTOR to gather more input into this discussion. If anyone can think of another noticeboard to notify, please do so, so we can get maximum input. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 08:20, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I can't understand how its said it never existed. Until beggining of 2016 the series was named BRDC British Formula 4 Championship as stated here. And here are the results of previous seasons with BRDC British Formula 4 Championship designation. So the competition should be moved to the current designation (Formula 3), with a disambiguation note beteween BRDC British Formula 3 Championship and British Formula Three Championship because are two different competitions.Rpo.castro (talk) 09:10, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Look even at your sources. It always was BRDC Formula 4 Championship, never BRDC British Formula 4 Championship. Corvus tristis (talk) 09:14, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"British" in the name make all the sense. Copying the answer given by QueenCake in 2016 ADAC TCR Germany Touring Car Championship (in which you've participated): "Common name is generally a key guideline, but it is only one of the criteria we use when naming an article. If there are multiple names commonly used for the subject, or the common name is ambiguous or does not accurately describe the subject, then the naming guidelines are clear that an alternative name is preferable. To quote WP:COMMONNAME; Ambiguous or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources. ... When there are multiple names for a subject, all of them fairly common, and the most common has problems, it is perfectly reasonable to choose one of the others.".Rpo.castro (talk) 10:49, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
