Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge → Loess Bluffs National Wildlife Refuge – USFWS officially renamed the NWR on Jan 11 2017. See new NWR homepage at https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Loess_Bluffs/about.html ArielPaulson (talk) 20:50, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Seems based entirely on a very recent change in official name. Andrewa (talk) 10:08, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Support (change of vote) in view of evidence below. Andrewa (talk) 17:51, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Per WP:NAMECHANGES greater weight should be placed on sources published since the change occurred, and the recent press is using the new name.[1][2]--Cúchullain ^t/c 14:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support - It is officially called Loess Bluffs per its official fws page. The name change history background is on the article with references. I am surprised this is being debated rather than already being moved. There of course is a debate about whether it will be moved back. But its name now is Loess Bluffs. For what it's worth I've written more of the history of this refuge than anybody else.Americasroof (talk) 01:29, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination, Cúchullain and Americasroof. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 23:45, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
