Requested move 12 December 2016[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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. The consensus appears to be that an apostrophe serves as a natural disambiguator, and is specifically allowed per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Any potential confusion can be mitigated using hatnotes on the appropriate pages. (non-admin closure) Bradv 02:52, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]


'Round Here'Round Here (Sawyer Brown song) – The article was recently disambiguated without consensus. I reverted it back, so proper consensus is needed. Also, the person who performed the disambiguation assumed that the apostrophe is inadequate to distinguish itself from other songs of the same name, "Round Here".

To closer: IIO is "the person who performed the disambiguation". --George Ho (talk) 00:30, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Makes sense, provided the leftover redirect at 'Round Here is retargeted to Round Here (disambiguation) as a {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}. Steel1943 (talk) 14:27, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose as proposed. There's no evidence that any other topic includes the apostrophe in 'Round. As such, there's little risk that readers are coming to this article looking for anything else. It would seem to be pointless to direct 'Round Here to the dab page, and it's certainly pointless if it's left redirecting to the disambiguated title 'Round Here (Sawyer Brown song).--Cúchullain t/c 16:56, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose as per Cuchullain - the tiny details are enough, and its not likely anyone who is going to end up on this page is looking for anything else than this song. And those errantly looking for it as Round Here will eventually find the DAB page. There is also a discussion on the DAB page if it should become Primary, which would probably slightly increase people finding this page, but no more so than the proposed target of this RM.

  • Oppose, no ambiguity to disambiguate. WP:SMALLDETAILS are sufficient to distinguish from other topics. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:17, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Affirmatively neutral. It's a line call and both sides have valid cases. Impossible to decide which is better in terms of reader experience. So the closing admin (I'd suggest it should be an admin) is hereby delegated to count my !vote on either side, or to disregard it, as they see fit, so we can all move on.

  • Oppose per WP:SMALLDETAILS. This is the only topic that uses the apostrophe, so disambiguation is unnecessary. -- Tavix (talk) 23:00, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with that is that the difference between 'Round Here and all the songs at Round Here actually fails WP:SMALLDETAILS, it isn't either recognizable or consistent. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:08, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
