Article title

Shouldn't the article title be Park Avenue Armory, which is what the building is currently known as? --Another Believer (Talk) 00:53, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Yes it should. And the article on the organization that operates it should use its full name, Park Avenue Armory Conservancy. I'm going to propose a move. oknazevad (talk) 18:01, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– The building itself is far better known as the Park Avenue Armory, as seen in even a cursory search of common sources, like The New York Times. Even the city's Landmarks Conservancy refers to the building as the Park Avenue Armory. The current title may be the building's listing on the NRHP, but those names are frequently not the actual common name but a mere descriptor.

More importantly, the term "Park Avenue Armory" refers to the building itself, not the organization that operates it, which is the Park Avenue Armory Conservancy. Just because their logo omits the word doesn't change the group's name to make it most commonly referred to by the building's common name. The lead sentence of that article saying the organization is "generally known as Park Avenue Armory" is unsourced and unfounded. In casual use people will muddle the distinction, but this is an encyclopedia, not casual use. The current arrangement ignores WP:NATDIS and fails WP:COMMONNAME for the building. oknazevad (talk) 18:15, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
