Requested move 15 January 2017 edit
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: moved as proposed. There is a consensus that the new name is more common, and should be used rather than the official name. (closed by non-admin page mover) Bradv 15:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
Kings County Democratic County Committee → Brooklyn Democratic Party – I propose that the article name be moved (renamed) to Brooklyn Democratic Party. Per the AfD discussion, Brooklyn Democratic Party appears to be more common, so per WP:COMMONNAME (WP:RECOGNIZABLE) it should be used. The committee bylaws use Kings County Democratic County Committee, but the website commonly uses Brooklyn Democratic Party. And it would not appear that the "County Committee" ending is standardized across the state as many county committees give "Democratic Committee" or "Republican Committee" while still commonly using the borough's name in the committee name instead of the county. I note that I myself renamed the article from Kings County Democratic Committee. However, many New York county names appear quite common in the US and will eventually necessitate an ugly disambiguation in the article name, while the New York City borough names are more unique. int21h (talk · contribs · email) 23:31, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
- I added the table of committee chairman a few weeks ago, and searched for references to do it, mostly in the New York Times. There are more hits searching with both the Times' search function and Google (which doesn't include the Times internal search function) with Kings County Democratic party than with Brooklyn Democratic Party, so I'm not sure why the title of the page has to be changed. As was pointed out, Wikipedia says the more common and recognizable name should be used, but it seems to me that the official name is still more common, at least using those two terms and considering hits from only recent times, say the last decade. But I could live with either one.

- Support - Evaluating the results for both titles:
- "Brooklyn Democratic Party": Google Books (including 21st-century sources), Google News, Bing News
- Current title: Bing News, Google News, Google Books
- New York Times can't be just the only source. There are other reliable sources. Limiting to just NYT for titles would raise potential NPOV concerns and/or might encourage editors to be journalistic and write NYT-type headline titles. Also, Wikipedia "is not a newspaper" and should not be treated this way. Back to the proposal, the proposed title is often used by multiple sources and okay to use.

- Slightly in Support.
- I'm usually very black and white about these things, and as I said earlier, I could live with either. However, in this case, especially because the organization uses the term itself, it's OK with me to move. Of course the official name should be mentioned in the lede, so that anybody looking up the official name will quickly know why the landed on a page with a different title than they sought. Or we could just split the difference and call it the Democratic Committee for Local Corruption in the Former Home City of the Dodgers (as opposed to the Republicans for the same purpose in the same locality).

map of current membership appointed vs. vacancy etc. edit
Hi
I've wrote the initial S7000A article for New York State Tax Law and I was wondering if this page could use a map or image that shows the current Brooklyn Democratic Party County Committee membership.
See https://tony.brooklyncoop.org/mapping/political-party-members-map
An image of any part of the map can be used. I would give rights to public use of the image and map.
Please let me know if this would help illustrate the words in the article.
