  • Weak Support It should be inevitable, but I'd like a bit more evidence that the WP:COMMONNAME has changed. A Google search for delhi capitals finds lots of stories about the name change, but we need sources to start referring to the team as Delhi Capitals in normal reporting. A search for "delhi capitals" -name -renamed has a mixture of basketball stories (there is also a Delhi Capitals (basketball) which was moved to make way for the cricket team) and more stories just about the renaming.

@Spike 'em:, here are some important and major sources:
  1. Cricbuzz
  2. Times of India
  3. Delhi Daredevils Official site
  4. official Instagram
  5. IPL official Twitter
  6. DC official Twitter
  7. ICC Cricket
  8. Google Search engine when I had searched for Delhi Daredevils. 2405:204:641C:6CF2:C822:AC6A:7BE7:4AA2 (talk) 17:32, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Any sites / pages run by the Capitals are irrelevant: we need to see what independent reliable sources call the team in the course of their continued reporting of the team. Wikipedia article titles are reactive to change, not at the vanguard.As per WP:NAMECHANGES: "Sometimes, the subject of an article will undergo a change of name. When this occurs, we give extra weight to reliable sources written after the name change is announced. If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match."

So we'll wait till 18 December 2018, IPL 2019 Auctions. 2405:204:641C:6CF2:C822:AC6A:7BE7:4AA2 (talk) 17:51, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
