Forum Melbourne – This seems to be its current name, and the name "Forum Theatre" is hardly mentioned, and not referenced, in the article - although I see that the Wikimedia category is Forum Theatre. So just looking for views on the talk page. I don't know the venue myself.

Oppose. "Forum Melbourne" is the branding of the current business, whereas the article covers the whole 100-year history of the building, which is (then and now) known as the Forum Theatre. Given that, I don't think "Forum Melbourne" is really an accurate name for anything before the current owners - the building serves a different function now compared to most of its pre-1995 uses.

I've had a crack at it - your suggestion turned out to be a really good idea, because there were a couple of details that weren't clear in some of the more easily-found online sources.
