	== Page move to "SoFi Technologies, Inc." ==		== Page move to "SoFi Technologies, Inc." ==

	I think the page [[SoFi]] should be moved to "SoFi Technologies, Inc.". I had moved the page twice in the last 10 days, but @[[User:Ptrnext\|Ptrnext]] turned down both the page moves, citing two arguments: (a) [[WP:NCCORP#Default to the most common name]], and (b) ~~disambiguation~~ ~~isn~~'t ~~required~~ since [[SoFi]] is the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]].		I think the page [[SoFi]] should be moved to "SoFi Technologies, Inc.". I had moved the page twice in the last 10 days, but @[[User:Ptrnext\|Ptrnext]] turned down both the page moves, citing two arguments: (a) [[WP:NCCORP#Default to the most common name\|default to the most common name in case of a company]], and (b) the need to [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies)#Disambiguation\|disambiguate]] doesn't exist since [[SoFi]] is the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]].

	I do not agree with arguments (a) and (b) for the following reasons.		I do not agree with arguments (a) and (b) for the following reasons.

	Regarding (a), I see that see that "SoFi" is the common name for both [[SoFi]] and [[Social Finance (consultancy)]], not just [[SoFi]]. This suggests that we should not use the Wikipedia rule [[WP:NCCORP#Default to the most common name]], but instead use the most common exception mentioned in ~~the~~ rule, which is [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies)#Disambiguation\|disambiguation]] ~~([[WP:Naming_conventions_(companies)#Disambiguation]])~~. The start of the [[SoFi]] page ~~also~~ ~~states~~ that the topic is not to be confused with the non-profit consultancy organization [[Social Finance (consultancy)]]. Moreover, there is ~~an even more~~ compelling case for disambiguating [[SoFi]], since we also have [[SoFi Stadium]]. Here, as seen from [https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=SoFi WikiNav] (suggested on [[Wikipedia:DETERMINEPRIMARY]]), [[SoFi Stadium]] has 72.3k incoming pageviews over September 2024, whereas [[SoFi]] has a much lower 16.4k incoming pageviews. Accordingly, the need to disambiguate [[SoFi]] from both [[SoFi Stadium]] and [[Social Finance (consultancy)]] is clear.		Regarding (a), I see that see that "SoFi" is the common name for both [[SoFi]] and [[Social Finance (consultancy)]] -- not just [[SoFi]]. This suggests that we should perhaps not use the Wikipedia rule [[WP:NCCORP#Default to the most common name\|default to the most common name in case of a company]] here, but instead use the most common exception mentioned in this rule, which is [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies)#Disambiguation\|disambiguation]]. The need to disambiguate is also mentioned at the start of the [[SoFi]] page: there is a remark stating that the topic is not to be confused with the non-profit consultancy organization [[Social Finance (consultancy)]]. Moreover, there is another compelling case for disambiguating [[SoFi]], since we also have [[SoFi Stadium]]. Here, as seen from [https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=SoFi WikiNav] (suggested on [[Wikipedia:DETERMINEPRIMARY]]), [[SoFi Stadium]] has 72.3k incoming pageviews over September 2024, whereas [[SoFi]] has a much lower 16.4k incoming pageviews. Accordingly, I see the need to disambiguate [[SoFi]] from both [[SoFi Stadium]] and [[Social Finance (consultancy)]] to be clear.

	Regarding (b), I disagree the assertion that [[SoFi]] is the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]. That's because, ~~like~~ mentioned ~~earlier~~, a search on WikiNav (as suggested on [[Wikipedia:DETERMINEPRIMARY]]) shows that [[SoFi Stadium]] has 72.3k incoming pageviews over September 2024, whereas [[SoFi]] has a much lower 16.4k incoming pageviews. [[User:Vazival\|Vazival]] ([[User talk:Vazival\|talk]]) 07:56, 19 October 2024 (UTC)		Regarding (b), I disagree the assertion that [[SoFi]] is the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]]. That's because, as mentioned above, a search on WikiNav (as suggested on [[Wikipedia:DETERMINEPRIMARY]]) shows that [[SoFi Stadium]] has 72.3k incoming pageviews over September 2024, whereas [[SoFi]] has a much lower 16.4k incoming pageviews.

	:The current title SoFi is [[:WP:CONCISE\|concise]], [[:WP:UCRN\|widely recognized]], and unambiguous. Since no one refers to SoFi Stadium as simply "SoFi", there is no reason to disambiguate (the same way that [[:MetLife Stadium]] and [[:MetLife Building]] have more page hits than [[:MetLife]], doesn't mean MetLife requires disambiguation). Regarding [[Social Finance (consultancy)]], there's nothing on its page that suggests the consultancy is also called "SoFi"; even if that low activity page is called that, we have the mutual hatnotes for it, [[:WP:ONEOTHER\|without the need to disambiguate]].
