ChallengePost → Devpost – I'm Devpost CEO. We changed our name to Devpost in mid-2015. You can confirm it by visiting challengepost.com which redirects to devpost.com, and by reading our blog post here: https://devposthacks.tumblr.com/post/130069674077/why-it-took-us-2-months-to-rebrand-challengepost. Thank you. Brooklyndd (talk) 21:37, 13 September 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 03:36, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Nom cites only a primary source. In that the rebranding was some time ago there may be secondary sources, but until these are found and cited the article should not be moved. The text of the article already reflects the rebranding but needs MOSifying. Andrewa (talk) 03:36, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:NAMECHANGES. News search for "ChallengePost" [1] is mostly limited to pre-2015, and the one for "Devpost" [2] shows that media have caught up with the name change. No such user (talk) 14:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:NAMECHANGES. It's the original guy here and I have no idea how to use the insanely confusing Wikipedia -- a wysiwyg editor plus some text fields would make this so much easier than editing source -- anyway so I'm just copying and pasting someone else's syntax and adding the substance you're after. Feel free to fix my syntax however you like. Here are two more sources for the original person who wanted more: http://www.zdnet.com/article/the-most-popular-technologies-at-student-hackathons/ and https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=60805310. Both mention the name change, not to mention the clear redirect when visiting challengepost.com to devpost.com. p.s. I commented similarly on my own talk page as a reply to Andrewa. Feel free to fix that if I did something else wrong. Brooklyndd (talk) 17:52, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
