Naming[edit]

So the literature from Nikon seems to call it "Z 6" and "Z 7", however much of the secondary and tertiary sources appear to refer to these cameras as the "Z6" and "Z7". Curious on what other people think about invoking WP:COMMONNAME at this early of a juncture? Or should we revisit the naming issue once the product is actually shipping? —Locke Cole • t • c 01:23, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should we call it Z 7 or Z7 as most web sites do?[edit]

I guess Nikon shows it as Z 7 but the photo enthusiast sites just show Z7, without a space between the two characters. https://www.google.com/search?q=nikon+z6+vs+z7&rlz=1C1RUCY_enCA781CA781&oq=nikon+z6&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l2j69i57j0j69i60l2.3917j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Peter K Burian (talk) 16:17, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the section directly above I asked the same question, and while Nikon is now just starting to make noise about the name not being correct, WP:COMMONNAME is still a thing around here, so I'd lean towards renaming Nikon Z 7 to Nikon Z7 and Nikon Z 6 to Nikon Z6. —Locke Cole • t • c 18:20, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There was a long discussion about trademarks on this Talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ion_rapid_transit&action=edit&section=11

The conclusion seemed to be that Wikipedia does not care about trademarks. Based on that, and the fact that 95% of web sites (except for Nikon and its retailers) show it as Nikon Z7, NOT Z 7, I strongly feel it should be revised to Nikon Z7.

It is z7 as per: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en-CA&authuser=0&rlz=1C1RUCY_enCA781CA781&ei=uXciXMbzMJGvjwS1hKOQBA&q=nikon+z+7+review&oq=nikon+z+7+review&gs_l=psy-ab.12..0i10l10.6653.6653..7880...0.0..0.91.91.1......0....1..gws-wiz.pahRbZYAn8I

Your thoughts, Locke Cole? Peter K Burian (talk) 18:29, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, if someone moved them, I wouldn't revert it. Though I think we'd need an admin to perform the move, so perhaps make a requested move which would also open the topic up to more editors to comment? —Locke Cole • t • c 03:01, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
