North West ThunderThunder (women's cricket) – No evidence they are commonly referred to as North West Thunder as opposed to Thunder. All sources in article refer to them as Thunder, including their own site. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:54, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Thunder may be a commonly used shortened form of the team name but the full team name remains North West Thunder, and provides greater disambiguation from many other articles titled 'Thunder'. The twitter account for the team is @NW_Thunder, too. Mpk662 (talk) 08:24, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose even if "Thunder" is more commonly used than "North West Thunder", the current title is valid and is a better disambiguation than "Thunder (women's cricket)". Spike 'em (talk) 08:57, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdrawing there's more sources for NW Thunder than I'd seen before, so happy to withdraw this nom (rather than wasting people's time for 5 more days). Please can someone close this RM correctly? Joseph2302 (talk) 10:53, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:RM doesn't mention anything about withdrawing a request (in the same way as AfD does), so looks like we're stuck with it! Spike 'em (talk) 12:47, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well I'll invoke WP:IAR to apply common sense. And seen it done before. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:59, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
