On 21 November 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to KOA (campgrounds). The result of the discussion was Moved to KOA.

Really?

I took the liberty of reverting the edit made 4/22/09, as it was irrelevant. One group of unruly campers at one site during one weekend is not important enough for mention. Whateverlolawants (talk) 07:03, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 21 November 2022

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to KOA. Consensus arrived at KOA as the title to move the article to on basis of primary topic and page views satisfying TLA move. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 13:27, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kampgrounds of America → KOA (campgrounds) – "KOA" seems to be the WP:COMMONNAME. Sources like this refer to the company as "KOA", not "Kampgrounds of America", and their website refers to them as just "KOA" as well.

Support: I'll wager that relatively few people are aware of the unabbreviated name. These are generally known simply as "KOA". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:14, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A possibility with WP:NATURAL disambiguation could be KOA campground, as used in this cited source. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:30, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support move. The common name is overwhelmingly KOA. O.N.R. ^(talk) 16:09, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Move to KOA as primary topic for that spelling/acronym. Otherwise, I prefer the current WP:NATURALDIS to the alternative presented as it uses a non-standard disambiguator (WP:NCCORP would suggest KOA (company) instead). -- Netoholic @ 10:14, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Thoughts on the primary-topic question? Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:39, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I support moving it to just KOA, as it clearly seems to be the WP:PRIMARY topic and the only article that exactly uses the letters "KOA" in all caps without any other terms attached. @Old Naval Rooftops: @BarrelProof: what do you say? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:13, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little worried about ambiguity with the Japanese company and the radio station, and there is a general reluctance on Wikipedia to designate primary topics for TLAs, but the page views do show this topic as pretty dominant for "KOA". I do not object. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 03:19, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I agree that we rightly should have a very high threshold for any TLA being primary. I think this meets it though. -- Netoholic @ 20:45, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
