Requested move 16 November 2022[edit]

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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved to + + (EP). Although a move away from the bare title + + was unanimously supported, the consensus among the discussion participants is that the band name is unneeded in the disambiguator.

+ ++ + (Loona EP) – there are various more notable meanings for plus plus as shown on ++ dab page. So why Loona EP rather than just + + (EP)? Because it was reissued as X X (EP), so anyone hunting for it is not necessarily going to recognise "+ +" anyway. The inclusion of band name Loona is needed to pass WP:CRITERIA.

That would be perfectly fine too. The current situation is a non-starter. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hash (EP) is only at that title because of technical restrictions around the "#" symbol. A better comparable would be Ed Sheeran's ÷ (album) and + (album). 162 etc. (talk) 19:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to + + (EP). I'm not aware of any other EPs named "+ +", so the inclusion of the group's name is excessive disambiguation. 162 etc. (talk) 19:31, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak support as chess notation seems more notable. I'm not sure the artist is needed though. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:02, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll note that the standard algebraic notation for checkmate is "#". "++" is rarely seen. It's also unlikely that somebody looking for Algebraic notation (chess) or checkmate would use "+ +" as a search term. 162 etc. (talk) 18:05, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support + + (EP), in line with dab conventions (noting that there is a space in between the pluses, which I nearly missed) ASUKITE 21:54, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 15 May 2024[edit]

– Alternative, less-restricted titles. The titles for these EPs do not seem to be simple stylizations. For [#], the parentheses would substitute the brackets (as above), and either the number sign is substituted with its pronunciation as (Hash) (similar to <---> and "#9 Dream") or the number sign is substituted with the sharp symbol as (♯) (similar to #P and "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35").

  • Space question: For + + (EP), there is currently a space between the two "+" symbols. But there is no space on the EP's cover art. Do sources usually include a space? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 09:57, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning oppose or (Hash) for Hash (EP). The title [#] is not available. Wikipedia generally avoids adding characters that are merely decorative, and I think the current title is a reasonable approach without trying to add a distorted version of the brackets – using (Hash) wouldn't be using the correct type of brackets anyway. On the other hand, if we move the others then I can see the argument for using (Hash) for consistency with the others. Using the word "Hash" rather than than the symbol seems very similar to the approach used for both Back and Forth (film) and "Number 9 Dream" – both of those convert the unavailable symbol to a word. For those as well as the other articles mentioned, namely ♯P and "Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35", I notice that you covered up the actual article titles, and I don't think you should have done that. For purposes of this discussion, we need to see what those titles are in order to discuss them. The article at ♯P says it is pronounced "Sharp P", so for that one it seems OK that the first character is a sharp symbol, and that is not an analogous case. For "Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35", I have opened an RM at Talk:Rainy Day Women ♯12 & 35#Requested move 28 May 2024 that proposes renaming that article to avoid using the sharp symbol. As far as I can tell, that article has never had an RM discussion. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 09:14, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
