Name?

I made the change from "Reach Station Gamma" as named in Halo: The Fall of Reach to "Gamma Station" as mentioned in Halo: Reach because it's dialogue in a game. But the latest press release also states "Orbital Station Gamma". So it's all a matter of which we follow, does new canon trump old canon?, games greater priority than books?, or does the mention of "Station Gamma" in two sources, indicate it should be appropriately named "Station Gamma"? --Asian Inferno 03:20, 15 February 2011 (EST)

Firstly, it would be appreciated if you added a proposal to rename before actually carrying out the act of renaming it. You never know what could go wrong. Secondly, all iterations of the title refers to the station, so I think we should go with the most frequent used title, which I supposed in this matter should be Station Gamma.— subtank 08:24, 15 February 2011 (EST)

For me, it seems that "Reach Station Gamma" is the complete title while "Station Gamma" is used if there's no chance of confusing it with another station in orbit over another planet. Also, just because something is referred to with a different name doesn't mean the old name has been retconned away. Consider all the things in the real world which have more than one acceptable title. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 08:39, 15 February 2011 (EST)

I'll keep that in mind, but I was also going off the current Halopedian Canon Policy which still states game over novels and press releases. Shouldn't that be changed? Game quote is: ATC 1 (COM): "Gamma Station Control, reading multiple pings below the Orbital Defense Grid!" - LNoS level --Asian Inferno 17:51, 15 February 2011 (EST)
