On 22 October 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Colonial Police Long Service Medal to Overseas Territories Police Long Service Medal. The result of the discussion was moved.

Requested move 22 October 2024

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. The comment by C of E seems to have clarified the concern raised by BarrelProof and since no oppose is forthcoming, I see consensus to move. Best, (closed by non-admin page mover) Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 14:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colonial Police Long Service Medal → Overseas Territories Police Long Service Medal – Move proposed to reflect the fact the medal was renamed in 2012. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 14:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: When referring to a medal that someone received, one would probably refer to it by the name that is printed on it at the time they received it. Thus, most of these medals have probably been Colonial Police Long Service Medals. I don't think someone would use the new name to refer to a medal awarded in 1940. New names do not automatically have precedence over old ones on Wikipedia. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:30, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @BarrelProof: That's certainly not in dispute. People awarded it when it was the Colonial Police medal will continue to have it named as such here and in their respective articles. However, this proposal is about should we move the medal to its current official title that has been used for 12 years? The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 14:58, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
