Requested move to Housing Choice Voucher Program

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was not moved per WP:UCN.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 09:24, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Section 8 (housing) → Housing Choice Voucher Program – The article is more about the Housing Choice Voucher Program (the implementation of the legislation) rather than Section 8 itself (the legislation). Therefore a move would be appropriate, especially in the likely case that a article for the legislation will be created. Ttownfeen (talk) 23:46, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The entire program is widely and almost exclusively known as "Section 8". Ask the average participant in the program about the "Housing Choice Voucher Program", and they'll likely say something like "What? Oh, you mean Section 8?" Powers ^T 14:47, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The common, recognizable name is Section 8. Quigley (talk) 05:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

"landlords willingly accept Section 8 tenants"

This whole uncited section should either be cited or removed. But given that it's a broad, meaningless statement, it really has no place being on this page. It reads like it was put there purely to entice landlords to accept section 8 applicants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.135.57.208 (talk) 23:48, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: Housing in the United States

Article is another Biased Example of ADL programming

The only reasons people don"t accept Section 8 is because 1) They don't want inspections. 2) They want to charge more rent.

This would be true, if you were a completely dishonest liar, whose only goal is that narrative. 2600:100F:B1A0:3580:A184:8A58:90BD:ACBB (talk) 16:48, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
