JC Flowers → J.C. Flowers & Co. — Requesting move of the article to reflect its official name. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 22:40, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is this strictly necessary? Seems like an unnecessary complication when JC Flowers is a lot simpler and is more likely the way the company is referred to in common usage. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 02:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it verifiably true that "JC Flowers…the way the company is referred to in common usage", or just a hypothesis? The external links on the page are a mix of "J.C. Flowers & Co.", "JC Flowers", and "J.C. Flowers". If there is clear evidence of a clear WP:COMMONNAME, then that wins, but otherwise WP:NCCORP says (with the exception of eliminating "LLC") editors can't pick a simpler-than-proper name themselves. We would obviously keep redirects from various perceivably-popular names to wherever the actual article is. DMacks (talk) 19:13, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
