I got this information off the Proton Website: http://www.proton.co.uk/jumbuck/specifications/technical.asp

Requested move 24 February 2016

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, due to lack of support and the WP:RETAIN rationale. (non-admin close) Dicklyon (talk) 05:32, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proton Arena → Proton Jumbuck –
- On average, there appears to be more Google search queries for 'Proton Jumbuck' than 'Proton Arena' data here
- I think it's best and more sensible to use the model name given for the most popular market, in this case Australia. The Arena/ Jumbuck didn't sell very well in Malaysia.
- Even Proton uses 'Jumbuck' these days, and not 'Arena' when describing the model. This is never the case when describing their other export models (S16, 400 Series, Natura etc.). Aero777 (talk) 17:21, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are rules for these sorts of things. If all English-speaking markets use the same name, then that's what we title the page. Was it marketed as the Proton Arena anywhere outside of Malaysia? Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 04:28, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr.choppers, thanks for highlighting the conventions. Proton used 'Arena' for Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and South Africa, and 'Jumbuck' for the U.K., Australia, Cyprus and Taiwan. But by and large, it was most popular in Australia and the U.K.. The few units that sold domestically fetch high prices today, everyone hated it at launch, but it has proven its worth since. I have no problems leaving the page as 'Proton Arena', but I thought some members and readers would prefer 'Proton Jumbuck', as it's more widely used today. Thanks again, Aero777 (talk) 13:20, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Aero777: - I think that South Africa and Singapore militate against a renaming of the page, but it's not totally black and white. For me, "Jumbuck" sounds very silly, but that's neither here nor there. Cheers, Mr.choppers | ✎ 03:46, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr.choppers: Alright, in that case, I suppose it's best to leave the page title as is. However, if others have anything to add, most notably our guru, @OSX:, I'm sure it'll be taken into consideration too. But if no consensus is reached by March 2nd, then I guess we'll stick with 'Proton Arena'. Regards, Aero777 (talk) 03:21, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure to be honest. I was waiting for more input from others to see if someone could give a good argument for one name over the other. I personally have no preference. WP:CARNAMES would suggest Arena, WP:COMMON NAME would preference Jumbuck. OSX (talk • contributions) 02:20, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OSX, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I suppose that since the page name is somewhat in a 'no man's land' between WP:CARNAMES and WP:COMMON NAME, and no one has as of yet provided any further arguments, I guess it's best to stick to the default 'Proton Arena' name for now. Also, the names for all of the other Proton articles abide the two WP definitions above, I guess it's no worries from here on out.

Thanks for your time, OSX & Mr.choppers, I appreciate it. Aero777 (talk) 07:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support move~~ - although WikiProject conventions such as WP:CARNAME must always be taken into account, WP:COMMONNAME is a more important factor here, being a core plank of our article titling policy. In the article, we are told "although the Arena is offered in Malaysia, the Arena is not a staple of the local Malaysian market and is mostly an export model". That suggests that the international name will be the most common, rather than the Malaysian market name. Comments above, and the nominator's data, also seem to suggest Jumbuck is the more common name. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 12:18, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Amakuru: If it's true that WP:COMMONNAME takes higher priority, then I guess 'Jumbuck' is more relevant. Another English-speaking market which used 'Jumbuck' is New Zealand. A recent quote from Proton's Head of Design suggests that Proton recognises the popularity of the Jumbuck abroad, so much so that he used the export name and not the domestic one (Arena). Aero777 (talk) 14:23, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've come back to this a month later, and seeing the discussion below, I will now change my !vote to Oppose per WP:TIES. Thanks — Amakuru (talk) 10:47, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm not seeing the evidence that "Proton Jumbuck" is really the WP:COMMONNAME. "Proton Jumbuck" predominates on Google News, but on Google Books, "Proton Arena" returns 282 hits, compared to 190 for "Proton Jumbuck". On regular Google Search, the Google Trends linked to above actually appear to show the two names about at par as of 2016, which is significant considering the car hasn't been made since the 2010 model year.

There's also an WP:ENGVAR issue regarding WP:TIES. This is a Malaysian car and arguably, Malaysia has a recognized variety of English. The car was also released as the Arena in two other English-speaking countries, South Africa and Singapore. Unless "Jumbuck" is also recognizable in those countries, WP:RETAIN would suggest we keep the article where it is.--Cúchullain ^t/c 13:46, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Cuchullain: Thanks for highlighting the variance between the two names in Google Books, I honestly wasn't aware of the whole Google Books thing all this while ! I guess this latest source of information tips the verdict in favour of WP:RETAIN. Regards, Aero777 (talk) 17:52, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. On that note, I'll shift to oppose.--Cúchullain ^t/c 18:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
