[edit] Move - Name of company
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 06:03, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
The Australian Ballet is the correct name "The Australian Ballet (ballet company)" contains a redundancy - there is no need for this. Paul foord (talk) 02:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I agree with the redundancy, but there was a need. The previous "Australian Ballet Company" was plain wrong. I tried to move it to "The Australian Ballet", but the system prevented me. I chose the next best option, one with a descriptor "ballet company" in brackets. Just having "company" would not have been optimal. -- JackofOz (talk) 03:01, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

- I listed it at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#21_March_2008 Paul foord (talk) 05:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Support. The Australian Ballet is both the normal and the formal name of this organisation. Possibly uncontroversial. Andrewa (talk) 20:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Support - no need to have an incorrect name when all that is needed in administrator involvement. -- Beardo (talk) 01:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
The above discussion misses the point on several grounds. Firstly, and most important, please read Wikipedia:naming conventions (and possibly also the proposed clarification at Wikipedia:official names) before assuming that you know what the correct name is in terms of Wikipedia policy. Secondly, however we have come to this point, the important thing is where we go now. Andrewa (talk) 20:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Are you querying the use of "The", I also read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite and indefinite articles at beginning of name) and can't see your point. There will not be a need for disambiguation unless someone creates a ballet with the same name (the company has priority anyway) and "Ballet in Australia" would be preferred title for an article on that topic.
