The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: not moved. No prejudice against a future RM with "Veon Armenia" or similar as a proposed title, but clearly there is a consensus against this proposal.

Oppose per pretty much everything. This is not
WP:RECOGNIZABLE, it violates
MOS:TM by including extraneous typographic decoration, it's against
MOS:CAPS,
WP:NCCAPS,
MOS:ACRO, and MOS:TM again in using ATTENTION CAPS on a name that is not an acronym, and is against MOS:TM yet again by unnecessarily including a corporation-type designation at the end. Support Alternative, for now:
Veon Armenia. And move
VEON to
Veon (company) per MOS:CAPS, WP:NCCAPS, MOS:ACRO, and MOS:TM (and numerous precedents, most obviously
Sony versus "SONY"). Veon is not an acronym, the capitalization is just marketing stylization, and reliable sources do not consistently capitalize it

The original rationale is invalid, relying on the
official name (as is unfortunately common... it would save a lot of time if we could somehow reduce the number of these). There's no support for other reasons, but no other reason is needed IMO.
The suggested alternative name Veon Armenia again seems based on the recent change of official name rather than on any evidence,
guideline or policy.
On the positive side there's a
heads-up at talk:VEON which now makes this a valid if messy multi-move.
I note that this would reverse and overwrite a previous but recent undiscussed move, the third such:

so it would be good to resolve this. (Those are from the talk page history of course, the moves in the article history are not surprisingly identical.)
