KMW+Nexter Defense Systems → KNDS – Official company name has changed to 'KNDS'. The 'KMW+Nexter' name is no longer used in official communications. TorreAzzurro (talk) 10:40, 31 May 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Cremastra (talk) 13:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Oppose: the WP:OFFICIAL name is not necessarily the WP:COMMONNAME. Cremastra (talk) 13:05, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A fair argument, although the KNDS abbreviation (instead of the longer KMW+Nexter name) seems to have already been used throughout the article for multiple years. TorreAzzurro (talk) 22:17, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support - KNDS appears to be the COMMONNAME adopted in sources since the change. The most recently published references used in the article use the proposed form. -2pou (talk) 18:34, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
