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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hamilton Hall (Columbia University) → Hind's Hall (Columbia University) – As detailed in the article, Columbia protestors unfurled a banner identifying the building as Hind's Hall, a name that has largely caught on in the public space. In recent times, the building is far more widely known as Hind's Hall than as Hamilton Hall. At the very least a redirect should be added, if not a direct move.

Oppose this is too soon to even consider renaming based only on protestors and no official name change. Reliable sources are still, as far as I can tell, primarily using Hamilton Hall as the name. Discussing the protestors declared name change isn't the same as the RS's "accepting" the name change. A redirect (potentially tagged with ((R from non-neutral name))) could be fine.

SNOW Oppose, protesters do not have naming rights. The current mention along with other instances of informal, short-term "renaming" seems fine. The song being the primary search result for "Hind's Hall" makes more sense.CharlesBluth (talk) 08:26, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
