Bridgeport City Hall → McLevy Hall – Not current city hall; rename to current usage Magic♪piano 13:49, 18 May 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 07:12, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further: the current city hall is itself notable. A rename/move should precede using Bridgeport City Hall for the current building in order to preserve the preceding edit history with McLevy Hall. Magic♪piano 13:49, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Statements in the article documenting the building's history (and naming history) are cited. Magic♪piano 21:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing enough to support this. The only reference in this article that addresses the name of the building is this one, which uses both "Bridgeport City Hall" and "McLevy Hall". It's pretty hard to determine a WP:COMMONNAME from this document alone; it's also over 40 years old. If McLevy Hall is the more commonly used name today, surely there is some local press coverage that can confirm that. 162 etc. (talk) 23:40, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A regional news organization appears to have used the name "McLevy Hall" with some regularity over the last ten years [1]. It is also trivially verifiable that the building is not now Bridgeport City Hall.Magic♪piano 11:37, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
