Requested move 15 December 2019

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: moved to ISS National Lab. Per Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions#Discussions involving multiple options, But then again, there are rare circumstances where multiple names have been proposed and no consensus arises out of any, except that it is determined that the current title should not host the article. (There are good arguments for Y, and there are good arguments for Z, but there are virtually no good arguments for it to stay at X.) In these difficult circumstances, the closer should pick the best title of the options available, and then be clear that while consensus has rejected the former title (and no request to bring it back should be made lightly), there is no consensus for the title actually chosen. And if anyone objects to the closer's choice, then instead of taking it to move review, they should simply make another move request at any time, which will hopefully lead the article to its final resting place. - if any user objects to this move and believes that ISS US National Lab is a better title, please open a new requested move and ping the users involved in this discussion.

International Space Station United States National Laboratory → ISS US National Lab – The name "International Space Station United States National Laboratory" is not mentioned on the WP:LEAD, and not a WP:COMMONNAME. Therefore, it should be moved to the "ISS US National Lab". Pinging @PhilipTerryGraham, JFG, Mfb, OkayKenji, N2e, and Rowan Forest:. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 17:13, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Laboratory" seems to be more common than "Lab". I'm find with shortening the ISS and the US, most places seem to do that. --mfb (talk) 04:16, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – ISS National Lab seems to be the commonly recognisable name in this circumstance. It is the name used on the lab's official website [1], Twitter page [2], Instagram page [3], Flickr page [4], YouTube page [5], a number of posts on the lab's Facebook page [6][7][8], pages on the NASA website [9], and various third party sources [10][11][12]. I would support a move to that name instead of ISS US National Lab. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 04:38, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to ISS National Lab per PhilipTerryGraham's findings. — JFG ^talk 05:21, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support the move per OP rationale of WP:COMMONNAME and PhilipTerryGraham's research. The official Congressional name can perhaps stay as a redirect. N2e (talk) 12:09, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom and the redirect per N2e. Less Unless (talk) 20:00, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support ISS National Lab, name seems concise. Per wp:NCA including “National Lab” would make it clear ISS stands for International Space Station. OkayKenji ^{(talk page)} 14:26, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
