Requested move 24 March 2024

[edit]
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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Participants provided sources showing that usage was split between sources. Supporters pointed to sources including maps and the Ordnance Survey, but some concerns were raised about that methodology, including the risk of WP:OFFICIALNAME or of double-counting map platforms that rely upon each other's data. Opposition pointed to the usage in various government and news sources. Both camps showed examples of local sights and businesses using their preferred styles. Reviewing the debate as a whole, I believe the discussion ultimately resulted in a consensus that the hyphenated name is better attested in sources, and is thus the WP:COMMONNAME.
