if the offical name of the stadium is now SF stadium at Candlestick point should not the page be moved to San Francisco Stadium at Candlestick Point?
As I understand it the convention is to use common names for things, but to list the official name in the first sentence.--Samuel J. Howard 01:07, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
Right. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). - Hephaestos|§ 01:09, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
I would respectfully disagree, don't most people in the bay area and sports fans in US call it the stick? so we would should list by that by that standard. Here in St Paul alot if not most of the people call the Xcel Energy Center just Xcel Center or the X Smith03 01:13, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
"The Stick" is a slang reference, and it's not used much more commonly than "Candlestick". Yours, Meelar 01:15, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
So would there be a huge outcry of protest if the page was moved? Smith03 01:59, 4 May 2004 (UTC)
Time to move now. The city finally found a new naming rights sponsor, and the stadium is now officially Monster Park. Dale Arnett 00:33, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- As a San Francisco 49ers fan - that's a really stupid name. Can't really argue with the page move, though. --Goobergunch 00:36, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
- And the ornery votes of SF voted to keep it as Candlestick Park on Nov 2nd. Palnu 23:51, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)
