Requested move 19 April 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 section.

No consensus. After more than three weeks this request does not seem to be approaching general agreement to rename this article yet. As is usual with a no-consensus outcome, editors can strengthen their arguments and try again in a few months to garner consensus for a page move. Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover) Paine Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 16:07, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was proposed in this section that Outlook on the web be renamed and moved to Exchange Online.

The discussion has been closed.

Outlook on the web → Exchange Online – There are various articles for Outlook: Microsoft Outlook and Outlook.com, all these creates so much confusion. While this current platform was once named "Outlook on the web", I noticed that the current name has already been changed to "Exchange Online" (website inside infobox), while the Exchange Online namespace was linked to a section in Microsoft Exchange Server. I believe it has already become the common name, and it should also be changed to prevent confusion between multiple Microsoft email services. I hope to have everyone's input in case I have mixed up different services or platforms. Cheers. Wefk423 (talk) 11:04, 19 April 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.

I have made a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing for people to comment — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:39, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no other comment in a couple of days, I recommend just moving this as Dreamy Jazz suggests — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:57, 9 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. I agree there is confusion but that’s on Microsoft and this proposal just makes it worse by conflating the web app used to access email with the Exchange Online service that enables it to do so. —В²C ☎ 11:43, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

@Dreamy Jazz: @Wefk423: The 2019 proposal only received one opposition without more views and hence was declined. I believe it's time for another move proposal since I agree about the status quo being very confusing. --148.252.129.141 (talk) 15:59, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On a side note, Outlook.com might need a change as well? Because "Outlook.com" is a name that is not used at all by Microsoft, if you check on their sites it is branded as just "Outlook". But then again it's confusing it still shares the same name as the Microsoft Outlook client software. --148.252.129.141 (talk) 16:58, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Not moved. Per consensus, different products. – robertsky (talk) 12:29, 21 October 2023 (UTC) – robertsky (talk) 12:29, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Outlook on the web → Exchange Online – As per the previous move proposal shown above, with my main reasoning being the very confusing current set-up of Microsoft Outlook, Outlook.com and Outlook on the web. If you maybe have a better suggestion other than Exchange Online then you can state it out as well. 148.252.129.141 (talk) 16:05, 6 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

Oppose. My previous objection from the 2019 RM stands. Microsoft still calls it Outlook on the Web[1] and Exchange Online[2] is a related but different product. —В²C ☎ 14:43, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per the reasons stated in the challenge, they are separate products. --Spaeratys (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Raydann Hi, I see that this was moved for being uncontested. But I must say I am highly against the move (if only I saw this before), because 'Exchange Online' is something different than 'Outlook on the web'. I agree with User:Born2cycle in the first discussion that the 'confusing' names is Microsoft's fault and not ours, and that this move doesn't make sense either because Outlook on the web is not just made up of Exchange Online. The move just made it worse.

Thus you can consider me personally and Born2cycle as opposing this move - with only the IP 148.252.129.141 being the one who agreed and reopened it. So please reconsider this move. --Sparatys (talk) 18:46, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Raydann, please revert the move and either close this as no consensus or relist. It was premature to move it with no participation after only one week. My previous objection stands. Microsoft still calls it Outlook on the Web and Exchange Online is a related but a different topic. —В²C ☎ 06:11, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
