@Timur9008: Looks about right, and matches their 1995 10-K filing. Most likely an error on IGN's part, or whoever gave IGN the info. Lordtobi (✉) 13:09, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, though so. I forgot to check the SEC for Iguana. My bad.Timur9008 (talk) 16:16, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, no problem. I usually find some obscure SEC dossier on Google Books, but the 10-K hit landed in my lap instead. Lordtobi (✉) 13:27, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Acclaim Studios Austin → Iguana Entertainment – The name of the defunct studio for most of its existence. It was already established and respected as the developer before Acclaim bought the studio, Acclaim originally kept ten Iguana name for the first half of their ownership period, and as it was only named under the Acclaim banner for the last few years. Over 2/3 of the studio's history was under the Iguana name. oknazevad (talk) 14:43, 18 November 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. — Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Per IceWelder's sources, almost no primary sources use the article's name to address the company, and whatever little contemporary discussion this defunct company had uses Iguana Entertainment, this page move had it coming.

Oppose I've not seen Iguana Entertainment mentioned enough in the modern day to convincingly say that it is the WP:COMMONNAME for this studio. In lieu of that, the article should use what it was last known as. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen a couple sources that do,[1][2][3] and many sources simply say "Iguana", which makes search for them a bit harder. In contrast, howeber, I found none that primarily calls it "Acclaim Studios Austin". To be fair, retrospective coverage of the company is limited. IceWelder [✉] 13:56, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
