Upon looking more into Wikipedia naming conventions and the comments provided by the opposing users below, this requested move doesn't provide any particularly needed clarification, nor does it follow the Wikipedia style guide (see comments below, especially regarding WP:COMMONNAME). I have gone ahead and withdrawn my request based upon these factors. Clint11480 16:14, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

Grumman → Grumman CorporationGrumman Corporation – This page was previously changed from "Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation,", which I agree is too long, but the current title for the page just being "Grumman" doesn't make much sense. Other defunct/merged companies that I can see utilize the full name when possible, ex: Rockwell International. Although an example in the archive uses Boeing as a reason to change from the old title to just "Grumman," this works because Boeing is rarely referred to as "The Boeing Company" in official capacities or by the general public. The logo for Boeing is also very specificaly *just* Boeing, it doesn't have any of the other text from the full name, in contrast to Grumman, which is somewhat referred to publicly as just Grumman, but the late stage logo and self referential material refers to the company as "Grumman Corporation," instead of just Grumman. It's also still a short enough name not to be too distracting or unnecessary. Clint11480 (talk) 20:46, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose - Articles are named following the common name principle, Google returns approx. 50% more hits for Grumman than Grumman Corporation. The article has already been moved once, moving well-established articles causes an awful lot of work in related articles, navboxes, categories, Wikidata and Commons categories. The Wikidata entry indicates that Grumman is the preferred article title out of four variations used in 36 different language wikis. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 07:11, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose – Pointless lengthening of a perfectly adequate article title. I see no substantial difference from Boeing in that respect. I trust Nimbus that the figures on which form is more common are correct. -- Deeday-UK (talk) 22:06, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:49, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
