Beta Tauri → Elnath – When I searched about it, out of eight answers, five prefer "Elnath" with (Beta Tauri) in the back, which leads to that Elnath is more common. Plus, provisional names are usually preferred over a Bayer designation. 117daveawesome (talk) 07:34, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Stars do not have "provisional names"; minor planets do, and they're very different from proper names. Preferring proper names over Bayer designations has never been a convention on Wikipedia; proper names for stars are only preferred when they're more commonly used than Bayer (or other) designations. See WP:STARNAMES. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:18, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: not that common, although heavily promoted in WP:RECENT coverage. Lithopsian (talk) 17:14, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Official names and undefined preferences mean little. Oppose per TITLECHANGES. Also note that when titled Elnath, it often is disambiguated with “beta Tauri”. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
