The prime function of Vodafone is as a cycling velodrome. There is a cycling track under the removeab le seating seen during the Australian open. It is reguarly used for cycling throughout the year. yet despite this, cycling is even mentioned in the article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.28.45.101 (talk) 01:41, 11 February 2006

Support My reading of WP:UCN is that we should use the most common name for a subject, unless it is ambiguous, incorrect (or biased). a quick research trip showed that Hisense Arena is the common name used in press and (currently) is the correct name for the place. The second part is crucial because when the naming contract is up (2014), this page should be moved again, in my opinion. SLawsonIII (talk) 12:24, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If the sponsorship is sold to another company, it will be a simple matter to move the page. "Common name" is the standard, and this page is virtually the only source that uses "Melbourne Multi Purpose Venue." Khan_singh (talk) 23:51, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is the name that the venue was refered to during the 2006 Commonwealth Games. As said it moves all the time shoud not be moved from this — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.11.212 (talk) 11:08, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I've moved this article from Melbourne Multi Purpose Venue to Melbourne Park Multi Purpose Venue. Both names are probably equally valid, this name was also used during the Commonwealth Games, but at least the latter provides some specificity about the venue instead of an article title which seems absurdly generic. This change seems uncontroversial enough to me to bypass any discussion. Aspirex (talk) 00:18, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
How was netball possibly played there in 1997 when the stadium opened in 2000?
"The arena has been used for netball from 1997 for Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Kestrels games in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy."

Melbourne Park Multi-Purpose Venue → Melbourne Arena – The change of name to Melbourne Arena poses an interesting question. Should the title be changed? Wikipedia rarely embraces corporate article titles for stadiums, in this instance though the new name would appear to fit with WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. You can't get more recognizable than the city after which the arena is named, consistent with other Australian stadium titles on wikipedia which are mostly non-commercial. Given a few months, most people will likely become intimatley familiar with this name, as they were with Hisense until now and Vodafone before that. One thing that cannot be said is that the current title (Melbourne Park Multi-Purpose Venue) fits any of the criteria. It isn't recognizable, certainly not concise and is unlikley to be the name people will ever search for. Literally no one in Melbourne refers to this venue as the Melbourne Park Multi-Purpose Venue. There are also more google results for Melbourne Arena than the multi-purpose venue. Jono52795 (talk) 05:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
