Requested move 18 October 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: No move. Unanimous consensus, supported by general titling policy, is against adding the parentheses for purposes other than disambiguation. Cúchullain ^t/c 13:19, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

INS Kochi → INS Kochi (D64) – It is the prescribed naming standard for ships throughout Wikipedia. The format goes as follows: [National prefix] + [Name of the ship] + [Pennant number]. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 00:39, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Support~~ - per WP:NCS. Regards—UY Scuti ^Talk 14:52, 18 October 2016 (UTC) Updated15:39, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, per WP:NCS#Naming articles about military ships "A typical military ship article name has the following form: <prefix> <italicized name> <(hull or pennant number or disambiguation)>[Note 1]" (bold mine). The note says "If there is only one ship of the name, it is wrong to disambiguate, per WP:PRECISE." © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 07:10, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - note, I removed the hull number disambiguator for exactly the reason that Tbhotch identified. Hull/pennant numbers are not part of the ship's name, and only serve identification purposes (which for Wikipedia's purposes, the name is more than sufficient).

Oppose. Not where there's only one. Only for disambiguation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:17, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Disambiguation only. Llammakey (talk) 11:34, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
