Merge

These articles

probably should be merged with this one. Thoughts? Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:51, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Be bold and merge; these programs aren't likely to gain independent notability. --Wtshymanski (talk) 17:39, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I did the merge. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:22, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looking again perhaps those should have been deleted instead of made as redirects. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Name change

This organization made their name even weirder so I updated the name again. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:06, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spam account

It seems like someone in the organization made an account called user:Amdaltc. As near as I can tell they just put promotional ads anywhere they could then got blocked. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:06, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine → American Medical Directors Association – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE. "American Medical Directors Association" is far more common on Google (34,200 hits) than the current awkward title "AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine" (11,000 hits). Note that both searches have had the term 'journal' omitted to avoid hits being confounded by Journal of the American Medical Directors Association. While the longer name is the official one, WP:OFFICIALNAME does not guide article title policy. Epistulae ad Familiares (talk) 14:28, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - renaming everything just because it is a common name is stupid. Mikus (talk) 20:57, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support a name change but not sure what name change. I think the name of the organization is "AMDA", with those letters not standing for anything in particular. The journal also is I think JAMDA, with those letters not meaning anything. This organization has had lots of name changes and kept those letters even when their focus went away from medical directors. I do not think that "American Medical Directors Association" is either the correct or common name, but also, I think there could be some better name.
