Circle Drive South BridgeGordie Howe Bridge – New official name for this bridge. Current Gordie Howe Bridge exists as a redirect to Gordie Howe International Bridge. Drm310 (talk) 04:32, 24 September 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.JFG talk 15:39, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Two reasons. (1) the proposed name appears to refer primarily to the Detroit-Windsor bridge; there could be an argument for changing it to a dab page, but I don't think this is the new primary topic. (2) It'snot clear that reliable sources use the new name yet. Per WP:NAMECHANGES we should wait until it's clear that sources since the change are using the new name. [1] from last week tells us about the new name but still seems to call it Circle Drive South Bridge.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:37, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 23 November 2016[edit]

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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move as proposed. Gordie Howe Bridge will also likely need to become a disambiguation page. (non-admin closure) Bradv 03:10, 7 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Circle Drive South BridgeGordie Howe Bridge (Saskatoon) – The City of Saskatoon officially renamed the bridge to the Gordie Howe Bridge so the page name should reflect this. If there is confusion with the Gordie Howe International Bridge, then the Gordie Howe Bridge page could become a Disambiguation page. Any thoughts?

  • Oppose - I already opposed this above, and it was closed as "no consensus". What has changed? The proposed title has a disambiguator, so is less good than the current one per WP:NATURALDIS, and I am yet to see evidence that common usage in reliable sources uses the new name.[2] is another recent news article using the "Circle Drive South Bridge" name.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:36, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Reliable sources (including the Star Phoenix, Global, and CTV) are calling it the Gordie Howe Bridge now: [3], [4], [5], and [6]. I agree that it isn't the primary topic (the Detroit/Windsor bridge is), so I agree with adding (Saskatoon) to the article title. The official name is Gordie Howe Bridge, so the current article title is simply incorrect. It would be like having Circle Drive Bridge redirected to 42nd Street Bridge. 184.70.62.74 (talk) 15:21, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Signage for the Gordie Howe Bridge is along Circle Drive. Even though "Circle Drive South Bridge" was the original name, there was never any signage. -- MuzikMachine (talk) 22:52, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per WP:NAMECHANGES and the evidence above. It appears that since the name change, reliable sources have been using the new name rather than the former one.--Cúchullain t/c 18:35, 5 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
