JCPJCP (disambiguation)

JCPenney needs to be moved to JCP. The logo suggests that the company is now known as JCP. (Note: people who remember it from before 2012 will always remember it as JCPenney, but this is merely one's memory of the past.) Georgia guy (talk) 14:34, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A few points. Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid actually redirects to Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, which has a hatnote for Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in adminship discussions, so extrapolation from that particular arena to this move discussion should not be presumed. Also, it's worth noting that even there, editors are cautioned, "it is important to realize that countering the keep or delete arguments of other people, or dismissing them outright, by simply referring them to this essay is not encouraged." As to the general path of the dispute here, I would suggest that advocacy for the primacy of J.C. Penney among the various meanings of JCP is moot while that article doesn't even occupy the JCP namespace, as indicated by the initial response to this proposal, and arguments towards that end are fundamentally impaired here as a result. In anticipation of that discussion, I would suggest noting WP:OFFICIALNAME, which describes why "official" names are not the presumed title for articles.
