• COBE Architects → Cobe
• Cobe → Cobe (disambiguation)

– The company formerly known as COBE Architects has adapted into a new graphic identity from January 2020. Cobe's website now only refers to the company as "Cobe". https://cobe.dk/approach This is also the case with the social media platforms: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cobearchitects/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cobearchitects LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cobe/ Jasparbang (talk) 06:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

• Support for Cobe (architectural firm), very weak support for moving to base title. The other popular items on the disambiguation page are only known by their uppercase acronym so WP:SMALLDIFFS might be enough. – Thjarkur (talk) 08:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC) Striking per Randy Kryn below – Thjarkur (talk) 08:57, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
  • • Support this alternative.--Ortizesp (talk) 18:52, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose, WP:SMALLDIFFS doesn't stop people from searching, in lower case, for such things as the historically significant Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE). Would support 'Cobe (architectural firm)' which seems the better choice. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:24, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
• Support Cobe (architectural firm) as well, Cobe seems to be too broad. GoodCrossing (talk) 15:57, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

• EDIT: Also support moving Cobe to Cobe (disambiguation) as well.. it's a disambiguation page. GoodCrossing (talk) 22:52, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

• Comment moving both the company to Cobe (architectural firm) and the disambiguation page to Cobe (disambiguation) would make the disambiguation page WP:MALPLACED. There has to be something at the base title. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 12:01, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose move to basename. 2019 pageviews, 32,000 for the satellite, 3,600 for the company. The company is nowhere near being WP:PTOPIC.

Support moving COBE Architects to Cobe (architectural firm) per WP:PRECISE.

Violently oppose moving DAB page Cobe to Cobe (disambiguation) per MOS:DAB, WP:INTDAB and WP:MALPLACED. Narky Blert (talk) 12:19, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

POV

I feel like this article is very much influenced by the view of whoever wrote it. I do not find it relevant that there is a large section about Dan Stubbergaard, the founder of the firm, describing his previous work at other firms, and I think the part about the studio sounds like something pulled straight from their website or an ad. I can't see why on earth it is important for a Wikipedia article to contain the fact that "the space has been opened up with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water. In between the large columns, the office is designed as a village with small houses and plazas that allows for both formal and informal meetings," and that "In addition to the actual studio Cobe has its own public café open open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. On display in the café are all smaller versions of Cobe's buildings and projects, so the café offers an opportunity to come inside and see where the surrounding architecture was conceived."

We've had issues with this firm on the Danish Wikipedia as well, with employees of the firm editing pages related to the firm to make it sound like an advertisement for the firm, which Wikipedia sure is not meant to be. That's why I've added the POV template to this article. | LinguineFusilli (talk) 13:15, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I have deleted the sections of 'The Studio' that you have pointed out are too advertisement-like. Furthermore, I have deleted and corrected the section about Dan Stubbergaard, so that the article only refers to relevant information about the company and not the founder. Let me know if the corrections are sufficient enough to have the POV template removed. Otherwise, please inform what content is still POV. /Jasparbang Jasparbang (talk) 12:02, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
