Common name?

[edit]

I think the move from Tiger Triumph – setting aside the spelling problem – was incorrectly done. The article calls itself Tiger Triumph and, while some of the sources say Exercise Tiger Triumph in their title, most do not. I'd argue that COMMONNAME should have us use the shorter version. This is still up for discussion, since this exercise is at this point in the future and we are going off of press reactions to its announcement. The language of the article needs to be modified so it is not promising future events in Wikipedia's voice and, naturally, will need updating as the event occurs.

It's a military exercise given the name 'Tiger Triumph'. Looking around, it seems common enough for such events to be referred to as 'Exercise this or that'.
I'd be willing to bet a small sum of money that ten years from now, it'll generally be referred to as 'Exercise Tiger Triumph'. Editor bias or application of common sense? You tell me.
I just corrected a spelling mistake and don't have any great urge one way or another - but since I can't see any downside to have a redirect page called 'Exercise Tiger Triumph' pointing to 'Tiger Triumph', and since having such a redirect page has the potential to aid access, why not?
