Is this bank called New York Bank of United States or New York Bank of the United States? Both appear in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.198.14.195 ( talk) 09:36, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
The name of the bank was The Bank of United States. "New York" does not appear in the name.
Nor was it headquartered in the Bronx. Its HQ was at Fifth Ave and 32nd St, Manhattan. When it collapsed in 1930 it had 58 branches in Brooklyn and Manhattan and the Bronx. see: New York Times Oct 30 1930 and Werner, M.R., Little Napoleons and Dummy Directors, Being the Narrative of the Bank of United States, N.Y.: Harper & Brothers, 1933.

The result of the request was 'move but discussion on the title continues at new page'. -- Regent's Park ( Rose Garden) 15:25, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Suggest move to Bank of United States.
There are plenty of sources that refer to this bank as "Bank of United States". I cannot find any that refer to it as "New York Bank of United States", except articles that quote or cite this article. (Notice it is "Bank of United States", not "Bank of the United States".)
There is a problem with moving this article, though. The intended destination is currently occupied by a redirection page. The simple solution would be to delete the redirect, move this page, and then place a disambiguation tag at the top of this article to correct anyone who is really looking for "Bank of the United States".
The process of moving a page to a location currently occupied by a redirect, without upsetting other Wikipedians in the process, is above my Wikipedia comfort level. I request the help of an administrator. -- JHP ( talk) 05:02, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
