This is the same show, renamed and with a new sponsor. Its new content should be merged to the original article, which should then be moved to its new name, with a redirect for readers looking for its old name. Flapjacktastic (talk) 06:29, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No objections made so far, nearly two weeks on. @Mrh787: any objections to me merging the new contents from Great American Outdoor Show here, then asking an admin to move this page to the new name of the show? Thanks, Flapjacktastic (talk) 09:42, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Sports and Outdoor ShowGreat American Outdoor Show – Content from the newer article Great American Outdoor Show has now been merged to the older article here. It's about the same show, which was renamed by its new sponsor in 2014. With a redirect in place, readers looking for the show will have no trouble finding it under its new name.

This seems like a Ship of Theseus problem. If you have a show, but change the management and the name, is it still the same show? Honestly, this isn't even the first change in name/management related to this. In newspaper archives, I can find it being called "Pennsylvania Recreation and Sportsmen's Show" from 1955-1961, "Pennsylvania Sports and Outdoor Show" from 1962-1966, "Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show" from 1967-1971, "Eastern Sports, Camping, and Outdoor Show" from 1972-1973, "Eastern Sports, Boat, Camping, and Outdoor Show" from 1974-1975, "Eastern Sports, Boat, Camping, Travel, and Outdoor Show" from 1976-2003, and then officially back to "Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show" from 2004-2013 (though through some of the longer titles it was colloquially still just called "Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show"). Management has also changed over time, sometimes coinciding with a name change, sometimes not: John Altland (1955-1972), Robert Leidigh/Robert Rockwell (1973), Sherman Exposition Management (1974-1978), Reed Exhibitions (1993-2013). Coverage of the Great American Outdoor Show lately (everything after the first year, so 2015-now) almost never mentions the old show or it being a tradition since 1955. Its a new start. Overall, though, there seems to be a very distinct break in the succession starting with the Great American Outdoor Show taking over, enough that there should be two articles. -- Netoholic @ 03:07, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
