I am concerned that the name of this article represents a pov-pushing by members of WikiProject_Football. The name of the stadium is Banks's Stadium; but members of the project say they will not allow articles about stadiums to be named after the stadium's current name if this name is because of a sponsorship deal. They appear to take the view that fans shouldn't be forced to call a stadium the name the club and its sponsors give it. I feel this is pov-pushing because regardless of what the fans may think, want or say; they do not name stadiums. Stadium owners name stadiums. The situation has been discussed at the WikiProject Football talk page but the arguments put forward are inconsistent - for example, if the Emirates Stadium changes name, they say the Emirates Stadium article should also change name because it has always been named by a sponsor, and does not have a "traditional name". But because the Banks's Stadium was once known as Bescot Stadium, and because Bescot Stadium isn't a sponsor's name, then the Wikipedia article should not change name. This is an inconsistent approach and is evidently borne out of a dislike for sponsors. Wikipedia should be factual and verifiable. The verifiable fact is that this stadium is not called the Bescot Stadium; it is called the Banks's Stadium and that is what this article should be called. B1atv 17:35, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
