Talk:Darcelle XV Plaza

title of this page

I question whether this page should be called Paronoid Park or O'Bryant Square. Should we be encouraging a derogatory term for a public space that really needs some love and attention? see http://www.portlandonline.com/parks/finder/index.cfm?action=ViewPark&PropertyID=488 for the offical park site- I would like to see some more positive stuff on this park.(Pdxparks 20:09, 3 November 2007 (UTC))ilovepdxparks:)

FWIW we always called it Paranoia Park, and the Facebook fan page also has that title (although discussion on said page is split on the subject). Tadc (talk) 23:25, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

O'Bryant Square → Darcelle XV Plaza – The park was officially renamed on July 13, 2023, per the City of Portland, Oregon. Secondary coverage: Axios, Oregon Public Broadcasting, The Oregonian, Willamette Week, etc. --Another Believer _(Talk) 18:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Seems straightforward enough. If I'm understanding correctly, it's going to be demolished and rebuilt in the coming months, so I guess there could be a case for holding off on the rename until it's taken its new form. But redirects are cheap, so..as far as I'm concerned whichever you like would work fine. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 22:39, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
