Seamen's Hospital SocietySeafarers' Hospital Society – This article should bear the name of the current charity, which is the Seafarers' Hospital Society. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 20:04, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I support this. Verbcatcher (talk) 22:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But the society's name does not have an apostrophe.[1] While this may be grammatically questionable, the article should be named Seafarers Hospital Society, with a redirect from the name with an apostrophe. Verbcatcher (talk) 22:38, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If the apostrophe got lost at sea, so be it. I agree that a few redirects may be wise. Carbon Caryatid (talk) 23:45, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have created redirects from the proposed title and the title without the apostrophe, but Google searches indicate that the present title is still much more common than the new one, indicating that this should probably not be changed at this time per WP:COMMONNAME.

Excellent close, Paine Ellsworth. Had I seen Cuchullain's argument in time, I would have changed my !vote. And we move on. Andrewa (talk) 22:08, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Andrewa; however, I was just the closer – it was Cúchullain's strong rationale that effectively closed this one.  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  22:20, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It was a team effort. Note I pinged them too. But assessing the arguments through the lens of policy was the key IMO. I should in hindsight have looked for recent sources rather than just standing on one of my favourite high horses... but we are all human. The result has been to the readers' best interests, and that's the bottom line. Andrewa (talk) 22:49, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Don't be too hard on yourself, Andrewa, fwiw you can count yourself as one of the best I've met on this project!  Paine Ellsworth  put'r there  17:32, 8 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
