Move to "The Lighthouse Project"?[edit]

It's basically never called "The Lighthouse at Long Island" in any sources or by anyone I know. Lighthouse Project is a far more common name, and it avoids the whiff of advertising. Croctotheface (talk) 19:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Lighthouse Project is just a nickname, though. The actual name is "The Lighthouse at Long Island." However, I could see moving it, as "The Lighthouse Project" is the common name. iMatthew ^talk at 19:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if "nickname" is 100% accurate, since it's not like newspapers are using it out of some kind of affection. They use it because it's more neutral, less reminiscent of branding and whatnot, and undoubtedly more common in usage among just about everyone. I don't even think Charles Wang makes a point of using the whole phrase every single time he needs to identify the project. To use a parallel example, the full name of the Islanders team is probably something like "New York Islanders Hockey Club, LLC," but thankfully we don't somehow feel bound to use that either. If you're basically amenable to moving, I can do the move sometime in the next few days. Croctotheface (talk) 20:11, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Remove end information from "The Lighthouse Project"?[edit]

All the references to the referendum vote and plans next to Citi Field and all that are not part of the Lighthouse project and honestly have nothing to do with the Lighthouse project. I think they belong on an article about he New York Islanders when discussing their arena issues more than they belong here. 173.2.45.231 (talk) 03:39, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
