Queensland Gallery of Modern ArtGallery of Modern Art – Title is not accurate to organisation name. It's simply Gallery of Modern Art or GOMA (all capitals). Perhaps Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland as there is already a Gallery of Modern Art Listing Treechime (talk) 23:24, 3 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

It seems that two institutions share the same name and acronym, Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA). As far as I can tell, the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) in Glasgow has been using that name since 1996, and the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane didn't open until 10 years later. While it might be possible to have Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), I find that too confusing. Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), Glasgow and Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), Brisbane would be better, but still not ideal. The way that conflicting museum names have been resolved in the past is by ignoring the acronym and adding the city after of comma. For examples, see Museum of Modern Art (disambiguation) and Museum of Contemporary Art. That would give us Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow and Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane and we could turn Gallery of Modern Art into a disambiguation page, since there is no clear primary topic.
I note that the Brisbane GOMA in its own materials calls itself Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) and says that it is is a single institution. [1]. If it is indeed one institution, we should have one article, not two. A seemingly reasonable title for that merged article is Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA), were it not that the inclusion of the | character in the title is not possible due to technical restrictions in the Mediawiki software. My suggestion would be to use Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) instead. Vexations (talk) 22:18, 4 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
They're definitely two separate galleries that I think should have their own articles despite being run under the same organisation. The Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow and Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane with Gallery of Modern Art being a disambiguation page seems to be the best option.
