Here is the discussion moved from WP:RM related to the original request:

  • Australian Coastwatch → Coastwatch — Move to correct name —ExtraDry 11:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
    • It may be called merely "Coastwatch" in Australia, but elsewhere it is likely called "the Australian Coastwatch" or similar to distinguish from other coast watches and coast guards and coast patrols. The page starts "Australian Coastwatch". Anthony Appleyard 08:30, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
      • There are over one thousand ghits for "Australian Coastwatch" [1] and 25 on Australian government sites [2] I agree that "Coastwatch" is the most common name and it would be best to have the article at "Coastwatch" and the redirect at "Australian Coastwatch", but I also don't think it is correct to claim that "Australian Coastwatch" is an incorrect name. It seems to me that either would be approriate. Sarah 12:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Fixed. & Coastwatch currently redirects to the incorrect name. ExtraDry 11:35, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
