The result of the move request was: no consensus. There is no clear consensus for renaming the article to "Bradley Studios." The stronger argument leans towards retaining "Quonset Hut Studio" as the article title, primarily due to the WP:COMMONNAME guideline and the significant evidence showing that "Quonset Hut Studio" is more widely recognized, both historically and in common usage.
Thus, the most appropriate course would be to retain the current title, "Quonset Hut Studio", while ensuring that the article sufficiently covers the broader history of Bradley Studios and Columbia Studios within its content.

Quonset Hut Studio → Bradley Studios – The studio that came to be known as the "Quonset hut studio" was the second of two studios (Studio B) at Bradley Studios. Bradley Studios was later purchased by Columbia Studios, who retained the "Quonset hut studio" as Columbia Studio B, but built a new Columbia Studio A as part of the Music Row complex. While Studio B has generally been known as the "Quonset hut studio", it's only part of the story of that recording facility, and even the historical marker at the site is about Bradley Studios and not only the "Quonset hut studio". Now that the article has been expanded to encompass Bradley Studios and later Columbia Studios, I think the article would more appropriately be named Bradley Studios, with a Redirect page for the "Quonset hut studio". synthfiend (talk) 22:27, 24 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Oppose. The name - Quonset Hut Studio - is well-known and from the data I have looked at, would seem to be more of a WP:COMMONNAME. 7000+ Google results for Quonset Hut Studio, 4500 results for "Bradley Studios" Nashville, 3000 results in Google Books for "Quonset Hut Studio", "Bradley Studios" Nashville gets less than 600 in Google Books. Also, when I put "Bradley Studios" into Google search, I get 79,000 results but those numbers are tainted with a housing development in Santa Barbara, various photography studios, filmmakers, architecture firms, etc etc., so are not indicative of the Bradley Studio/recording studio/complex in Nashville. As an aside, Studio B would be a confusing name because there are so many Studio Bs - Columbia, RCA, Nashville, NYC and so on...
- As to the historical marker...take a look at this Nashville Sites page. NashvilleSites.org is sponsored by the Nashville Metro Historical Commission Foundation.
- Quonset Hut Studio started as a simple house. In 1954, the house was purchased by the Bradley brothers, Owen (1915-1998) and Harold (1926-2019), who renovated it into a recording studio. The studio is named for the military surplus Quonset hut the brothers affixed to the back of the studio during renovations. In 1962, the studio was purchased by Columbia Records, who renamed it to Columbia Studio B. The building ceased being used as a recording studio in 1982, and it was purchased by Mike Curb (1944-) in 2014. As of 2019, it was used by Belmont University to host classes as part of the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business.
- But pay attention to the photo on that page. There is lettering on the building itself - The Historic Site of Decca Records & The Quonset Hut. - Shearonink (talk) 19:31, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
