The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: No consensus, hence moved to Korkeasaari to restore the status quo prior to an undiscussed 2018 move, with no prejudice against further discussion to clarify the status of the zoo/island. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:23, 26 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Helsinki Zoo → Korkeasaari Zoo – The Zoo has changed it's international name to Korkeasaari Zoo. Source: http://www.korkeasaari.fi/en Annikaeemeli (talk) 14:56, 7 May 2019 (UTC) --Relisting. samee converse 17:16, 14 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Support. It is a good idea to move this page, as long as it's not done with cut-and-pasting. —Rutlandbaconsouthamptonshakespeare (talk) 16:35, 7 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

The zoo has changed its official English-language name. The current destination, however, already has a redirect page to the other location, preventing a standard move operation. Rutlandbaconsouthamptonshakespeare (talk)

This is a contested technical request (permalink). — Amakuru (talk) 16:57, 7 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Per WP:NAMECHANGES we should only be moving this if the common name in English has changed,and there is no evidence that it has. — Amakuru (talk) 16:57, 7 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Comment. This article was moved from Korkeasaari last June. Since Korkeasaari refers to the island and the article touches on more than the zoo, perhaps it should be moved back to that title (which is also more concise). Station1 (talk) 17:49, 7 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
- Comment. The island and the zoo are different entities, which is why they're separate articles on the Finnish Wikipedia. Having an article titled "Korkeasaari", that discusses both entities, just confusingly conflates the two. —Rutlandbaconsouthamptonshakespeare (talk) 21:07, 7 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
This is not clear in the article, but does the zoo take up virtually the entire island? If so, I would agree with Station1 that this should be moved back to Korkeasaari, and would restructure slightly to make it an article primarily on the island with a large component on the zoo. bd2412 T 14:18, 24 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
