RfC: "Standing Rock Protests" as alternative name

Latest comment: 27 days ago9 comments7 people in discussion

Should "Standing Rock Protests" appear as an alternative name in the lead sentence? إيان (talk) 21:56, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Recommend closing as too soon. See thread above. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:59, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes it should, given ngrams, WP:COMMONNAME, and MOS:LEADALT. إيان (talk) 22:02, 23 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support Given how many times "Standing Rock" has been mentioned by the article alone, this needs to be mentioned as an alternative title. >>> Extorc.talk 09:40, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you are referring to the Wikipedia article, it is mentioned zero times. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:22, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, it's fine to mention in the introductory paragraph. Yuchitown (talk) 18:03, 25 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes Standing Rock protests should be in the lead sentence. It has been widely used by all the major newspapers, including but not limited to: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, The Globe and Mail, The Times, Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, Associated Press, The Independent, The Canadian Press, Los Angeles Times. Also found it being used in at least a dozen scholarly journals. Unclear why a RfC was needed for this. Isaidnoway (talk) 23:13, 26 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, in bold, in the first sentence, due to overwhelming use. It might be appropriate to submit a requested move for this page to that title, per WP:COMMONNAME. Fieari (talk) 06:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, the name is mentioned in common parlance, perhaps more even than the Dakota Access name. DrFiveMinusMinus (talk) 11:18, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
