Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment → Wolfe's Neck Farm – Per WP:COMMONNAME, "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources)..." Wolfe's Neck Farm is by far the most common name. A google search of the term reveals over 25,000 hits whereas a search of the current name reveals only 6,000, despite the name being officially changed 2.5 years ago.

- Wolfe's Neck Farm is still in common usage, as well as being the most common name by a 4 to 1 margin. See: One. Two. Three. Four.--User:Namiba 15:23, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- Your second and final links call it by the new name. - Seasider53 (talk) 17:35, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- They call it by both names. The point is that both names are used but the name I've proposed is far more common, especially over the organization's 61 year history.--User:Namiba 17:49, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- And they’ll continue to call it by both names if it’s given the wrong name here. It’s isn’t just a farm any more, which is why they changed their name. - Seasider53 (talk) 18:15, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
- It's not the wrong name by our article title policy. This is not the place to fix English usage. Andrewa (talk) 17:35, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

- Forgot to mention: that second reference says “Wolfe's Neck Farm-to-Table series”, so you must have just glanced at it and saw the farm part. - Seasider53 (talk) 22:41, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
