2023 Beijing hospital fire → Changfeng Hospital fire – more specific Bremps! 00:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – MaterialWorks 20:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Weak oppose - per WP:RECOGNIZABILITY. I'd be happy to change my !vote if there's evidence to the contrary. Estar8806 (talk) 00:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Support - Most Chinese Sources describe the incident as Changfeng Hospital fire or Beijing Changfeng Hospital fire. Some sources include:

And so on, I think we should rename. Yxuibs (talk) 02:46, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Neutral on 'Beijing' vs 'Changfeng Hospital', but please keep a year in there, so Oppose as presently stated. Polyphemus Goode (talk) 11:38, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

The new title wouldn't need the year. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 13:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

We generally prefer keeping the year per WP:NCEVENT, unless the event is overwhelmingly known by a proper name. This one apparently isn't. No such user (talk) 09:55, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose keep year and recognisable title In ictu oculi (talk) 14:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
• Merge with Changfeng Hospital as both articles are way too short. We could easily create a history section in the article about the hospital itself. 152.130.6.77 (talk) 15:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

  Merged. 162 etc. (talk) 21:59, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Oppose - The hospital is not well known enough either outside or inside China to warrant a standalone title. All major headlines even for China-specific media outlets go with some variant of "Beijing hospital" and not the named one. - Fuzheado | Talk 16:01, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

• Support per nom. It's obviously better to use the name of the actual hospital, well-known or not. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:47, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisted to get a clearer consensus. – MaterialWorks 20:14, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
