Super Bowl commercials → Super Bowl ads – I realized how the current title could be misinterpreted as referring to commercials about the Super Bowl rather than those aired during it. "Super Bowl ad" seems to be the most common term used to refer to the concept. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:01, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose They are more commonly know as commercials and ads has same connotation. Psalms79;6-7 (talk) 22:42, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- In what context? Yes, in the general context of advertising, television commercial is the common term. However, in this specific context, the term "Super Bowl ad" is very common among this article's citations. ViperSnake151 Talk 05:01, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose – "ad" is basically popular vernacular, while "commercial" is the correct term. This is basically analogous to "TV show" (which is "vernacular") vs. "TV series" or "TV program" (which is what's used on Wikipedia). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:25, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Commercial and ad are both acceptable terms, and I see no reason to switch between the two. Calidum 03:33, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- My reasoning is that, within the context of the larger topic, "Super Bowl ad" is the most common term used for this phenomenon. ViperSnake151 Talk 04:27, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- ”Ad” might be more common, but you haven’t shown any evidence to indicate that. Reliable sources seem to use both terms interchangeably [1] [2]. Calidum 17:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
- I was going by use of the term "Super bowl ad" in the titles of citations. ViperSnake151 Talk 17:44, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
