Talk:500 West Jefferson

How do I rename the article?

The building changed ownership in 2020 and is no longer known as PNC Plaza but as 500 West Jefferson or 500W. Iheartbairdlou (talk) 21:09, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

PNC Plaza → 500W

– Hello, just wanted to make a thread asking to move/change the name of the title PNC Plaza to 500W. After the building was brought by Someraroad, the name of the building changed to 500W. It gets confusing for tenants searching up 500W and seeing it is still PNC Plaza. I attached some article showcasing the change in name. Let me know if you need anything else, thanks. Here is a article link [1]https://www.wdrb.com/in-depth/new-owner-plans-to-change-the-trajectory-of-aging-louisville-office-tower/article_6f5d1f7a-b4ed-11eb-a1f1-93d90b5cacc0.html Let me know if this works. Here is another link where the building itself is just being referred to as 500W.

• Oppose. Reads like the title is about 500 watts. Steel1943 (talk) 19:40, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

  For clarity, I mean I oppose a move to 500W. I am neutral on any other move at this time. Steel1943 (talk) 20:41, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

  The title of the building is 500w-- there's a registered website, it's not about if you like the name it's incorrect information 38.104.201.186 (talk) 16:52, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

• Support name change but undecided on the exact name. From what I see in both the articles, it is either referred to as "500 West Jefferson" or "500 W Jefferson" or "500 West" (this one from ref 6 of article) but none call it "500W". Sources exist for the name change and it is also the WP:COMMONNAME now judging by existing sources on the article. Obviously it is clear that name has changed but various aliases have come up following the name change and we need to choose one from them. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 20:28, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

  if you google 500w the registered website for the building comes up, it is the new name of the building. 38.104.201.186 (talk) 16:53, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

  If 500W is not possible, can we do 500 West instead? 38.104.201.186 (talk) 16:51, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

• Rliu5875, at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves you wrote, "We want to make sure tenants are not confused when they search up the name" regarding this change. If you are suggesting this move as part of your job, please see WP:PAYDISCLOSE and take a look at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. In the case of this request, it is necessary to show that the new title is the common name used to refer to the topic in most reliable sources, not just an official name. Therefore the relative prevalence of the suggested title is important. Dekimasuよ! 08:16, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

  Hello, I do believe the common name for the building is 500W or 500 West, as most, if not all, articles are using 500W instead of PNC Plaza whenever they update on the construction process. Rliu5875 (talk) 20:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose if it is renamed it should use 500 West Jefferson, since "500W" is opaque and has several common meanings -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 02:43, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
• Disambiguate: Disambiguation is probably needed, since the hatnote shows there are two other places that may be referred to as "PNC Plaza" (Tower at PNC Plaza in Pittsburgh and PNC Plaza (Raleigh)). Independent reliable sources should be cited to justify a new name, or it could be moved to "PNC Plaza (Louisville)". The WDRB source linked above says it is "now called 500 West Jefferson". In several places it refers to "500 W Jefferson". The WDRB source does not use "500W" at all. The only place it uses "500 West" is in a quote from an owner-promoter. There is a paywall blocking the bizjournals.com article, so I don't know exactly what it says. The title shown on the building's official website is "500 West Jefferson Street, Louisville, Kentucky" (although there are a couple of places on that website that use "500W"). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:11, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

  There are multiple sources in the citations that use the 500W title, including the building's website itself. 38.104.201.186 (talk) 21:04, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

  Please identify WP:independent reliable sources. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:00, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

  Sorry, but I'll give you only one out of four for those. The first one is not independent – I asked for independent reliable sources. The third one is also not independent – it is a commercial listing, and it also has a space before the "W". The fourth one is also not independent – again, it is a commercial listing advertisement, and it does not call the place "500W"! It refers to it as "500 W Jefferson St, Louisville, KY 40202"; that's just the street address, complete with the Zip code. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:47, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

  The official name is 500 West Jefferson, but other articles call the name 500W as linked above, so I would believe this would be the common name. Rliu5875 (talk) 19:06, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

  Move to 500 West Jefferson. That one calls it 500 West Jefferson, as used in the WDRB source and previously suggested by CX Zoom and 64.229.90.172. The current name is ambiguous. This would also make the title consistent with the title of 400 West Market, the tallest building in Louisville. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:54, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

  This is just another article. It is evident that PNC Plaza is no longer the name of the building, with numerous sources backing this up from the actual website to different news outlets. It is confusing when most other sources have 500W or 500 West Jefferson and it stays PNC Plaza on Wikipedia. Rliu5875 (talk) 21:10, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
