1999 Seattle WTO protestsBattle of Seattle – I'm opening a discussion for moving this title to "Battle of Seattle", as I believe it to be the common name for these protests. For years, this is the name by which I've heard these protests described. This appears to be born out in the sources too, as Google Scholar search results give 5,800 results for "Battle of Seattle";[1] while "Seattle WTO protests" gets only 659 results.[2]

I can understand why the "Seattle WTO protests" title was used, as it sounds more dry and descriptive. But going by common name policy, I think "Battle of Seattle" is probably what we should be using for this. So as this is a potentially controversial move, I'm opening a discussion here. What are your thoughts on this? Grnrchst (talk) 09:53, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Reliable secondary sources (such as The Seattle Times, HistoryLink, and The New York Times) use "Seattle WTO protests" pretty much across the board. For the first two, there are a number of results for the 1856 Battle of Seattle mixed in as well, so natural disambiguation is preferred. SounderBruce 10:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
