The result of the move request was: moved to Catalyst Inc per consensus. —usernamekiran(talk) 18:49, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]



Northern Ireland Science ParkCatalyst (Belfast) – This apparently changed its name to Catalyst Inc. in 2016 per this source, but while the article content was recently updated to reflect that the page never got moved. Although the name is technically "Catalyst Inc.", we have a policy of eliding Inc's and Ltd's and Plc's in the titles of Wikipedia articles about companies as much as possible, because every company has one of those and so it's not a helpful point of disambiguation — and there are also other science parks called Catalyst in other places, so "Catalyst (science park)" wouldn't work either.

  • Comment. If it is moved, then Catalyst Inc will be fine, as "Inc" is not used as a company abbreviation in the UK. It is therefore being used here just as part of its name and not as an indicator of its status. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:44, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Catalyst Inc and Oppose Catalyst The name, as given on the site, seems to be Catalyst Inc (no period). The same is used in all of its news coverage. I understand we try to avoid using Inc, but calling it Catalyst alone seems to be straight up inventing a name that is not used, so I'm not sure why it makes sense. I'm now seeing that Necrothesp already answered this point, but since I already typed all this out, I'm keeping it.--Yaksar (let's chat) 03:26, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Catalyst Inc: as the correct sourced name. ww2censor (talk) 10:44, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Catalyst (science park) should work until another notable science park with that name is identified. At which time the page could be moved to Catalyst (Northern Ireland science park), as in Northern Ireland Science Park. – wbm1058 (talk) 17:25, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
