Wouldn't it make more sense to move this page to Rareware? Not only was it the name used under Nintendo tenure, and this is a wiki about a Nintendo property, but also more people are probably looking for this page with that title than "Rare Ltd.". Should this page be moved? {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 12:46, October 6, 2024 (EDT)

:Rare has had exchanges with Nintendo under the "Rare Ltd." brand, right? Like for handheld remakes and ''Smash''? In that case, the article's probably fine. On the other hand, I think the Nintendo Cube move was a little early. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:11, October 6, 2024 (EDT)

Let's use [[iQue]] for an example here. iQue's full company name is "iQue Ltd.," but for simplicity's sake, as well as it being used and searched for more, we use the name "iQue". Shouldn't this be the same for Rare?

===Move to Rareware===
===Move to Rareware===
#{{User|Rykitu}} Per proposal.


===Move to Rare===
===Move to Rare===
#{{user|Super Mario RPG}} Secondary choice.
#{{User|Altendo}} Primary choice. Shortening to "Rare" is fine; the link "[[Rare]]" redirects here anyways.
#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per Super Mario RPG; they are not called Rareware anymore, but if we truncate "iQue Ltd." to just "iQue", it should be fine to prune it here too.
#{{User|Ahemtoday}} Per Camwoodstock.
#{{User|EvieMaybe}} per Camwoodstock, too
#{{User|Salmancer}} Rare isn't fictional. I disagree with treating the names of fictional things and real things in the exact same manner. It also appears we're also cutting the Ltd from [[Nintendo]], so I guess that's the wiki stance then.
#{{User|PhGuy12}} My preferred option. Also, [https://web.archive.org/web/20000818115852/http://www.rareware.com/recent/scribes/ "Rareware" was not the company name]; it was a trademark name used for their games.
#{{User|Technetium}} Per Camwoodstock and Salmancer, I'd like consistency with how company article titles are handled. Plus it's not just the two they mentioned, but all of the companies I can think of: [[Acquire]], [[AlphaDream]], [[ArtePiazza]], the list just goes on and on… why is Rare the exception here?


===Do nothing===
===Do nothing===
#{{User|Super Mario RPG}} No. Rareware is no longer their current name, and they have officially collaborated on ''Donkey Kong'' remakes post-buyout. I don't see any reason to get rid of the "Ltd.", either.
 
#{{User|Altendo}} Secondary choice. I feel like keeping the current name is fine.
