I'm sure I read somewhere that the original pool was never destroyed, but lies beneath the flooring at Wembley Arena. Anyone got a source for this? -- Dweller ( talk) 10:15, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
YES - the pool is still there, I've seen it! EmilyWiki ( talk) 22:40, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
I seem to recall that in the 1950s when I lived in Harrow the name was "Empire Pool and Sports Arena" Is anyone else under this impression. Laurence Fielding 95.150.118.173 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:07, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
You're right, it's even mentioned on the official website of SSE Arena Wembley. I'll add it to the article and source it.-- MetrolandNW ( talk) 12:46, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. This is mostly a procedural close, as a page move was done after this discussion and promptly reverted. It seems that in the interest of page stability, the new unspoken consensus is to leave the article name as is and add its new name in bold in the lede.

Hi all - Wembley Arena is now known as The SSE Arena, Wembley as part of a 10 year sponsorship deal so the divert needs to be reversed (it's currently from The SSE Arena, Wembley to Wembley Arena). I know the form regarding buildings that get renamed for sponsorship reasons, but as it is a 10-year deal, diverting to Wembley Arena is incorrect. I set up a new article for The SSE Arena, Wembley showcasing key points from 2014 when SSE sponsored the building so a divert wouldn't be needed at all, but User:Mduvekot removed the article and reinstated the divert. So the option is to have a new article, which Wembley Arena would link to OR reverse the divert? any advice please! Apologies, new to Wiki so not au fait with the shorthand etc... EmilyWiki ( talk) 13:24, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
I'm not sure. I've never heard anyone refer to it as anything other than Wembley Arena until this moment, but... I'm not a reliable source. What do reliable sources call it? We should go with WP:COMMONNAME. -- Dweller ( talk) Become old fashioned! 14:11, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
The official name of it is The SSE Arena, Wembley. I guess the equivalent would be the Millenium Dome becoming The O2. That was a 10 year sponsorship deal too, which has just been extended for another 10 years Cite error: There are <ref>

Wow that is a hell of a thread! Totally understand where you are coming from Dweller but the issue at St James Park was a) less than a 1 year deal (it was only renamed from Nov 11 - Oct 12: [1]), and b) was a much more personal affair as only one team (Newcastle Utd) had ever used the Stadium (St James Park), whereas at Wembley hundreds of bands/acts/shows/sports have gone through the doors, so there is less of an emotional connection.
In regards to reliable sources, BBC call it The SSE Arena, Wembley [2], as do The Times [3] and even the Daily Mail [4]. Not sure what other reliable sources one could call on, could someone please advise? Many thanks. EmilyWiki ( talk) 22:40, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi Peter Rehse, just one other thing, the proper name is The SSE Arena, Wembley - is it possible to add the 'The' on to the article title? EmilyWiki ( talk) 09:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Morning all, Peter Rehse do you think we can reverse the redirect now please? Doesn't look like there has been any more people disagreeing? Thanks. EmilyWiki ( talk) 07:44, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

I would like to re-open the case for moving Wembley Arena to SSE Arena, Wembley. I believe the previous attempt was abruptly closed without a proper consensus, especially considering more people supported rather than disagreed the move. My support remains the same: SSE is in a 10 year sponsorship, and we are already three years in it. It is now more referred to as SSE Arena rather than Wembley Arena. -- MetrolandNW ( talk) 20:29, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
Requests are generally processed after seven days.Talk:Wembley Arena#Move to The SSE Arena, Wembley was open for more than a year. No additional discussion had followed the revert of the move for almost a year as well. I followed Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Determining consensus, keeping in mind the points
no minimum participation is requiredand
this is not a vote. As stated in the close, it was mostly procedural - I made formal something that had already been in effect for over a year with no major problems.
