The result of the move request was: not moved. It would seem to be a bad idea to include the name of the sponsor in the name of the article, unless it were overwhelmingly referred to that way in sources. In this case, there is no consensus for a move. ( non-admin closure) Brad v 05:54, 1 January 2017 (UTC)
Folio Prize → Rathbones Folio Prize – the name change reflects the new name of the prize after it was recently announced that the prize has a new sponsor, Rathbones. This new name is reflected in news sources covering the prize, including this Bookseller article, http://www.thebookseller.com/news/investment-company-rathbones-sponsor-folio-prize-446516, and the prize's official website, http://www.thefolioprize.com/the-prize/ Scope78 ( talk) 11:00, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
I have now RMd Booker Prize, see Talk:Man Booker Prize#Requested move 22 December 2016. Andrewa ( talk) 18:37, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
In the cases of Emirates Stadium and King Power Stadium, raised by User:BDD above, if we leave out the sponsor we get a very ambiguous term, so the sponsor name is used as natural disambiguation. That's a very good point, not an unusual situation, and one that should be mentioned at wp:official names. Thank you! But in both these cases there are other available disambiguators. That doesn't make them less relevant, but I wonder whether there are other examples where no other common and natural disambiguator is available? Andrewa ( talk) 19:13, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
The RM closed as move, removing the sponsor name there too. The close is currently at move review but looks likely to be endorsed. Andrewa ( talk) 21:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
I don't understand this naming. The prize continues to be largely a function of the Folio Academy. So they lost a sponsor, they resort back to "Folio Prize". Instead they choose a generic obviously placeholder name unrelated to Folio until they get a new sponsor, yet, continue to be managed by Folio. And whatever happened to The Literature Prize, another generic placeholder name. Very strange. -- Green C 23:11, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
The author and title columns are sortable, but as the winners are split into three tables, this doesn't let anyone sort the whole list of winners. It's agreed that this is the same prize under different names, well summarised in the lead and explained in detail thereafter.
I suggest we should combine the three tables into one. Any thoughts? Pam D 06:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
