Jaeckel HotelStatesboro City Hall and Drummers' Building – I suggest moving the article to "Statesboro City Hall and Drummers' Building" for reasons that a) this reflects the fact that the article (and the NRHP nomination) cover the Drummers' Building as well as the Jaeckel Hotel building, and b) this reflects the "City Hall" common current name for the Jaeckel Hotel building.

The city hall/former hotel building is labelled "Statesboro City Hall" on its front, as can be seen in this photo.

The lede would be revised to include a bolded "Jaeckel Hotel"; Jaeckel Hotel would remain as a redirect. Common usage of both "City Hall" and "Drummers' Building" is shown in the City of Statesboro's webpage "Boards & Commissions" and "City Council", which are both now used as sources in the article. The "History" source does use "Jaeckel Hotel", I acknowledge, but in that context it is given as a historical name. For where to go to a meeting, citizens are directed to go to the City Hall or to the Drummers' Building, which is technically on a separate property. Note this naming would parallel naming of a separate article Statesboro City Hall and Fire Station that covers a former city hall. doncram 09:55, 22 August 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

  • Oppose. Jaeckel Hotel is what the National Register of Historic Places calls it, and inclusion there is the main reason it's notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:25, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
