Article location

Given the recent sponsorship deal and various moves of the page, I thought it might be worth opening a discussion on where this article should be located. I myself am not sure, I don't really think it has a common name as such. I note that some people have already stated that "Manchester Arena" is the common name. However, as far as I am aware, "Manchester Arena" has only ever been used in the last 12 months or so since the MEN sponsorship deal ended. In reality the common name is probably still a variant on the MEN title. However, I fear that moving this article back to MEN Arena is likely to cause confusion to readers. In the absence of an accurate common name I'm left wondering if the article title should be the official name? Pit-yacker (talk) 11:49, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't know it had changed to the Phones4U Arena! Def. should not be moved to that, per WP:COMMONNAME. Happy with either the current title or the MEN Arena. See also the requested move on the Rose Bowl article and also compare with Old Trafford Cricket Ground, for example. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please could the title of the page be amended to "Phones 4u Arena" as per the venue's new official name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.12.200.242 (talk) 11:22, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP editor, official names are not always the best names for a Wikipedia article. As Pit-yacker and Lugnuts allude to, we have a preference for the common name.

As Pit-yacker and Lugnuts also allude to, we can't definitively choose a common name on this occasion.

My take is that we should apply WP:NPOV. Try to pick a title that doesn't take the side of one sponsor over another. After all, the article covers the whole of the arena's history. I think that "Manchester Arena" meets this requirement.

When referring to the arena in the article, we should probably just refer to it as "the arena" in most places, to avoid this issue.

Breaking news

Just a friendly reminder for everyone to be careful. While the ongoing events are no doubt tragic, we need to ensure only confirmed facts make it on Wikipedia. We are an encyclopedia, not a news site. My thoughts are with all those affected tonight. --Fold 1997 (talk) 00:05, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
