"Arlington Cemetery", not "Arlington Cemetery Co"
This article fails to conform to Wikipedia's article naming policy.
The subject is called "Arlington Cemetery", not "Arlington Cemetery Co". See, for instance, [http://www.arlingtoncemetery.us/ their official site], or [http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=44323 Find A Grave dot com], or [http://www.delcotimes.com/general-news/20090206/daily-times-obituaries-for-feb-6 this obituary page from the Delaware County Daily Times], or [http://articles.philly.com/2014-11-22/news/56391529_1_honor-medal-french-legion-fox-foundation this obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer].
It seems likely that this name was used because the name Arlington Cemetery redirects to Arlington National Cemetery (and rightfully so). But Wikipedia has a mechanism for handling this kind of name collision, and it doesn't require pretending a thing has a different name. The solution is to add a disambiguating place name.
So this article should be named "Arlington Cemetery (Pennsylvania)". "Arlington Cemetery Co" should be retained as a redirect to the new title. (That will happen automagically when the article gets moved.) The lead paragraph, which now defines "Arlington Cemetery Company" (yet a third name), should instead define "Arlington Cemetery".
I intend to make this change. TypoBoy (talk) 17:44, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
