Black Lives Matter to Civil rights movement

After having survived a request for deletion ignoring the comment by Ziko on 5 June 2020 to request about renaming, should the page be moved when considering w:Black_Lives_Matter#Criticism_of_"Black_Lives_Matter"? At least we better add certain kind of disclaimer to the top of the page to avoid misunderstanding.--Jusjih (talk) 04:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

What exactly would anyone misunderstand? Presuming that nobody believes that "Criticism by Rudy Giuliani" is something that a project page on Meta needs to take seriously. --Fæ (talk) 19:48, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Ziko's comment consisted of an array of questions that are all interesting, but I am not surprised that they were not considered in that discussion (they were not really on point).

@Jusjih: Given the high level of consideration this page already receives, this move request would probably be better suited on the page's talkpage. Why not bring it up there, and see if there is any significant support for it? That would allow you to flesh out the arguments better, before making this formal request. At this point, putting this banner to move Black Lives Matter to a more generic term, has a lot of resemblance with saying w:All Lives Matter to the passing by reader (which is the target audience of the page), which I am confident was not your intention. The template on top of the page does imho create more likelihood for misunderstanding than could be resolved by a move.

Hence, could you please move this discussion to the talkpage, and remove the template until there is some minimal level of support and the arguments are fleshed out? Thank you. Effeietsanders (talk) 20:09, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm confused by this request to change the name. It does not give a clear explanation of why the new name is appropriate? This does not appear to based on policy or guideline or common practices for naming conventions for projects, programs, or events or collaborations of Wikimedians. In my experience people doing a collaboration are given wide lattitude to select the name that best reflects the project. So, I request that this be moved to the talk page until there is a broader interest in a name change. Sydney Poore/FloNight (talk) 23:27, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
