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.
Oppose A move to EY (company) was considered in 2013 (see archives) and again in 2016 (see archives) and the decision was not moved. According to the footer of its
website the official name is still Ernst & Young. In any case Ernst & Young is not a company, so EY (company) is not appropriate. If you are proposing E&Y, it is neither branded that or known as that.

Comment The E&Y proposal was an error on my part, I amended it immediately, but the hatnote did not pick it up, has now been corrected. While the discussions from ten and seven years ago maybe worth mentioning, whether this move request is successful will solely be what the consensus is in this discussion. The trading name is EY, that the legal entity is
Ernst & Young Global Limited is not particularly relevant when it comes to
WP:COMMONNAME, although notably Limited does indicate it is a company.

Comment I agree that a case could be made for either firm or company. Just a thought, but would it not be better to make the case for moving this article to
EY on the basis that the accounting firm is the
primary topic? The list currently at
EY could be moved to
EY (disambiguation).

Oppose per COMMONNAME - EY is ambiguous and chances are 80-90% of the world wouldn't have a clue what EY was (I certainly didn't till just now). Makes more sense to keep it as it is. –

– In the above recently closed RM, there was an alternative suggestion by 2 of the 3 editors who expressed an opinion for EY to be moved to EY (disambiguation) to allow Ernst & Young to be renamed EY as the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.
