Talk:Divided Highway

Requested Move

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: not moved. Opposition to the move was principally based on WP:DIFFCAPS; supporters of the move did not provide comparable backing in policy. A hatnote pointing to dual carriageway, which several commenters supported, was added during the course of the RM.

Divided Highway → Divided Highway (album) – the page Divided Highway shall be a redirect; furthermore, the page Divided Highway (album) shall refer to the album.--2600:1700:6180:6290:7184:C438:8808:19FE (talk) 22:50, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support, it's an obscure compilation album. And likely to confuse. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:25, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. There is no reason to disambiguate an unambiguous album title. See Category:The Doobie Brothers compilation albums where five out of six albums are not parenthetically disambiguated. The one that is disambiguated is an ambiguous title, "Greatest Hits". See also Divided highway. Needs a hatnote maybe? Yes, however "(album)" is not a necessary addition to this article's title. P.I.

Oppose per WP:DIFFCAPS. Only a hatnote is needed; I presume most people looking for divided highways would search for it in all lowercase instead of title case. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 14:50, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. WP:DIFFCAPS is highly controversial and has always been a very bad idea. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Not for anything, but DIFFCAPS is a part of the AT policy, so controversial or not it is in that policy per community consensus. And the closer will take that under consideration. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 20:56, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Dual carriageway has 4,802 views compared with only 395[[1]] for the album but make the title case version a DAB per WP:DIFFCAPS. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:51, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Users are unlikely to search for the type of road using caps in this case. Hatnotes are sufficient here. Dekimasuよ! 00:54, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per WP:DIFFCAPS. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:35, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose DIFFCAPS and a hat is plenty, I believe. Happy Editing--IAm Chaos 02:38, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
