Lower Hutt War Memorial Library → War Memorial Library – This article keeps showing up as extra information on Google search results for Eastbourne library including the title – Stapletron (talk) 01:03, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:34, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Stapletron and Zoupan: Should be moved to War Memorial Library, Lower Hutt, rather than "War Memorial Library" which is a common name used for war libraries throughout the world.--Zoupan 01:13, 29 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
There is no other article called War Memorial Library, so it would not need "Lower Hutt" as a disambiguator at the end. But the name on the outside of the building is "Lower Hutt War Memorial Library". Both the long and short forms of the name are used in various sources. I don't understand Stapletron's statement about Google search results, or why that would be a rationale for the change. Without further info, I don't support the proposed change.

Oppose, as I firstly don't understand the Google issue; the nominator might want to clarify what this is all about. Secondly, the official name is used for now and no case has been put forward that the common name is any different to this official name. Schwede 66 18:36, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oppose; I can't see any reason for this move. War Memorial Library is a definite no-go, given many libraries across the globe carry this name. Don't see why it should be moved to War Memorial Library, Lower Hutt either, as the current name, Lower Hutt War Memorial Library, is fine as it is.

Oppose. Seems fine as is. Nominator's rationale doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:48, 1 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. It should remain as is or "Lower Hutt War Memorial" as the memorial includes the library and the cenotaph [1] KiwikiKiWi (talk) 05:14, 6 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
