I've reverted the move. The official website uses "and" in many places in the text, so the "&" appears to be purely stylistic. I'm not sure exactly what the guidelines are on "&" in titles, as it is used in many titles such as "Barnes & Noble", "AT&T", etc. We'll need to get this clarified if we decide the common name uses the "&".

I think the MOS is clear. It can be used in "AT&T" (that is the official proper name) and in places where space is limited like a table or infobox. It could also be in direct quotations. But otherwise it should be spelled out. Bubba73You talkin' to me?20:08, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The move was because the official NPS website uses "&" instead of "and". There is nothing against using ampersand in page names when appropriate. I also realize the distinction is trivial and would be fine either way. But I would argue following the name used in the official website is most appropriate, essentially being analogous to "AT&T".

Indeed, their use of "&" in titles indicates to me that Wikipedia should do the same. Obviously, in the prose of the article when not directly referencing the name of the NPS site use of "and" would be appropriate. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia generally tries to be consistent in an article. We'll either use "&" or "and" for the name of the organization, but not both. BilCat (talk) 21:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
