Correct Title?

I added tags to this article as the focus seemed to be on speculation as to whether it would be 're-nicknamed'. However on reflection, shouldn't this article be called Aorangi Terrace, with redirects from Henman Hill (and elsewhere if appropriate) and notes on the various nicknames by which it is known? This could avoid speculative entries about which nickname it may or may not acquire in the future.--Stevouk (talk) 09:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I think the relevant convention here is WP:COMMONNAME. It's called Henman Hill more often than Aorangi Terrace (a name I only just found out when I looked at this page) so the page probably should stay here unless it actually does acquire a new nickname or become commonly known by the real name.

I've changed the opening to match the Statue of Liberty page. --Philip Stevens (talk) 14:46, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Why was this page moved? Even though Tim Henman has retired, people still call it Henman Hill. Even the BBC, even when they are talking to Murray! Btline (talk) 18:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

Aorangi TerraceHenman Hill — The name of an article should be the most commonly used name. Aorangi Terrace may be the official title, but the name most commonly used is Henman Hill. Even with Andy Murray replacing Tim Henman as the British No.1, the area is still called Henman Hill in most broadcasts. Most people wouldn't know what Aorangi Terrace was, whereas almost everyone knows Henman Hill, even if they use a different name. — Philip Stevens (talk) 20:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
