If the article gives information about the place only when it had a specific name or jurisdiction, use those in the title.

If it is likely that the page has been widely viewed and bookmarked, a "[[Help:Redirects|redirect]]" should be placed on the old article following the move. After the content has been moved to a new article, some old articles can simply be [[Help:Deleting a page|marked for deletion]].<br> | Renaming an article requires moving the content of the article to a page with a different name.
