Name confusion

[edit]

Note to avoid confusion I have added an about notice to the top of the page, no real need to move to a disambiguation term. MilborneOne (talk) 15:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FlyPastFlyPast (magazine) – Caps are not enough to disambiguate the topic. The article should be located at FlyPast (magazine) to prevent confusion (and bad links) with Flypast. Several libraries and catalogues record this magazine has having the title of Flypast (see OCLC 9779461/ISSN 0262-6950).Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:02, 5 February 2016 (UTC) Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 19:02, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - both articles (Flypast and FlyPast) have an about link at the top to point the confused reader to the correct article so we have no need to create a disambiguated name just for the sake of it, the Magazine has the only claim to this particular spelling on Wikipedia so no need to disambiguate, any confused reader only has to click on the about link on either article to get to the right article, simples no need to create artificial article names.

  • Oppose, per MilborneOne above. Also, Profile Publications produced a series of compilations of their Aircraft in Profile booklets under the name of "Flypast". If these ever need to be disambiguated, "FlyPast (magazine)" would not offer a clear enough distinction so would have solved nothing. Best to stay away from that title. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:06, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a well known publication that can be expanded, but needs references. --BSTemple (talk) 20:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
