Talk:Orlando City Hall

Bold move

FieldMarine moved the article to "City Hall (Orlando)", which I reverted back to the original name. I think there needs to be consensus for such a move. I oppose the move for a couple of reasons. First, our sources refer to it as "Orlando City Hall" thus COMMONNAME applies. Secondly, a reader searching for the city hall in a specific city is unlikely to search for "City Hall (City_Name)".- MrX 02:14, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Support changing the title of this article to “City Hall (Orlando). The official City of Orlando webpage calls the building, “City Hall”, see here. The front of the building is marked City Hall, not Orlando City Hall. I make this recommendation purely by what the City of Orlando calls it as I believe that would be the official source for the building name. I agree with MrX that it is commonly called Orlando City Hall, but I don’t believe that to be the proper name of the building & I think we should stick with official name. Also, we can easily overcome any search issues with redirects. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 10:44, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

The City of Orlando web page also calls the building "Orlando City Hall". In fact they do in 1790 instances. They refer to it as simply "City Hall" 220 times (1920-1720). One must also consider how a reader would search for the article, which is why COMMONNAME is so important. Specifically, " Wikipedia prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources) as such names will be the most recognizable and the most natural."
