Texas Memorial Museum → Texas Science & Natural History Museum – The museum will have a new name when it reopens on September 23. Skywatcher68 (talk) 20:37, 18 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:08, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment "Will have"? Naming is dependent on what is the current WP:COMMONNAME. I don't know whether it is or isn't, but this is probably too soon to discuss a move. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:43, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Too soon? The museum reopens in less than a week and WP:COMMONNAME is exactly why I put this here. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:31, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The museum has been rebranded as "Texas Science & Natural History Museum". See this web page. Nv8200pa talk 00:52, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. But if it is moved then it should be to Texas Science and Natural History Museum. Ampersands are best avoided. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support this isn't like a company that wants its updated branding, it makes sense to have a museum under the name by which it's in the news (for the reopening). Redirect preserves folks familiar with the old name's path to the info. Star Mississippi 14:23, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
to clarify, fine with "and", but supporting the move overall, not specifically the & Star Mississippi 16:25, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support Texas Science and Natural History Museum, replacing the ampersand. ASUKITE 14:27, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
