Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Move to Formula One (Sega video game). There are a couple of precedents for this dab style; seems more intuitive than the producer name. If there's another F1 Sega video game, please relist. Duja► 11:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Formula One (computer game) → Formula One (Domark) — The current name is slightly misleading, as "computer game" usually implies a game played on a personal/home computer, and this game was never released for the PC. Using the publisher's name is more accurate for the subject, and it avoids confusion with other F1 games that have been released on PC. Majin Izlude ^talk 17:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey - in support of the move

Support move to something. There are quite a few computer/video games named "Formula One". 70.55.84.248 06:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support I am up for that. Also I like to add, there where in fact two listings for this game at one point and they were merged into this article. That's why the Domark name redirects here. Govvy 09:59, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey - in opposition to the move

Discussion

Add any additional comments:

Perhaps Formula One (Sega video game) would be more intuitive way of disambiguating than using the publisher? --Bobblehead 19:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Formula One (Sega video game) → F1 (Domark) — It would seem there is also a conversion of this game on the Commodore Amiga. Therefore the current Sega video game title would appear to be incorrect. AlexJ 16:34, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Support - Calling the game Formula One appears to be unique for the Genesis in the US. It's referred to as F1 in the Amiga version and all non-US Sega iterations. On a side note, there does appear to be another game called F1 - World championship edition that covers the 1994 season.[1] --Bobblehead ^(rants) 19:34, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I will support this change. Govvy 21:37, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been renamed from Formula One (Sega video game) to F1 (Domark) as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 09:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You got it wrong.

This game was never realised with the title F1 it was always called Formula One. I was pretty sure it said "Formula One (Domark)" which is what is should be. Govvy 12:38, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was released as F1 throughout most of the world. In the USA (and possibly other markets where products from the USA were imported) it was released as Formula One, with the F1 logo appearing smaller on the box. See [2]. AlexJ 13:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

okay, I got the United Kingdom one, which is the screenshot above. saying Formula One. So the part which says Formula One only in the USA is wrong. Govvy 14:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no. The UK Genesis (MegaDrive) [3], Master System [4] and Amiga [5] covers all say F1. F1 was used throughout Europe. AlexJ 17:31, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alex, you do know that F1 is only the short name, the full name was always Formula One, that was it's release name. This front cover was released in the UK. Govvy 15:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've also got a UK Amiga version, which is referred to exclusively as F1 and has the yellow cover. If you look at http://www.mobygames.com/game/f1/cover-art it shows that the red Formula One cover was only released in the USA. For the Master System, Mega Drive and Amiga UK releases (that's all platforms of the UK release) it shows the yellow F1 cover. Furthermore the cover you show there clearly states Genesis - there was no console called the Genesis in the UK. Looking in the manual the first mention of the game name is "All the colour, drama, thrills and speed of the Formula One circus have been included to make F1 the most breathtaking game you have ever played". In fact not once does my UK manual refer to the game as Formula One. AlexJ 16:28, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
