Requested move 16 February 2016
[edit]- 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. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: not moved. I'm being bold here because there's no chance of overwriting the disambiguation page at EJ. (non-admin closure) clpo13(talk) 23:39, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
East Jordan Iron Works → EJ – Rebranding of company name consolidating local brands. Future edits will be more accurate with the new page name – Ironworker33 (talk) 16:14, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose RMTR Speedy move you cannot use Speedy Move to delete pages. The target location exists as a different use, and you are proposing to overwrite and therefore delete it. -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 04:20, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
- I would suggest EJ (company) as a better target. The nominator is likely unfamiliar with disambiguation. clpo13(talk) 06:38, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Declined it's common practice to mention the previous names of companies in the lead section, and to preface that description with the prose 'formerly known as" or something to that effect, as this remains encyclopedic information. Regards, Spintendo 19:09, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
