Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable CatastropheNuclear Terrorism – Per WP:SUBTITLE and WP:DIFFCAPS142.160.89.97 (talk) 07:39, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:34, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthony Appleyard: Couldn't that be said of most any application of WP:DIFFCAPS? 142.160.89.97 (talk) 20:01, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - this book is definitely not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term "Nuclear Terrorism". As past experience with your nominations have shown, you are going to keep on asking so here: I WP:IAR WP:SMALLDETAILS as that is, and always will be, a garbage guideline. No reader will even give it one thought how he wrote it, as caps don't matter in almost anywhere regular users are concerned and it's stupid to think Wikipedia should be otherwise. --Gonnym (talk) 10:39, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
this book is definitely not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term "Nuclear Terrorism". Why, bearing in mind WP:DIFFCAPS?
WP:IAR WP:SMALLDETAILS as that is, and always will be, a garbage guideline. No reader will even give it one thought how he wrote it, as caps don't matter in almost anywhere regular users are concerned and it's stupid to think Wikipedia should be otherwise. Just because you don't like the central consensus doesn't mean we can disregard it. If this is per WP:IAR, on what basis are you arguing this circumstance to be exceptional, such that it wouldn't have been specifically taken into account in the drafting of WP:SMALLDETAILS? Because if it is not exceptional in any way, to merely disregard a central consensus because we disagree with it would be in violation of WP:CONLEVEL. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 20:01, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
How do you reconcile your position with our book-specific guideline, WP:SUBTITLE, which states:

Usually, a Wikipedia article on a book (or other medium, such as a movie, TV special or video game) does not include its subtitle in the Wikipedia page name, per WP:CONCISE. The only exception to that is short article titles, for disambiguation purposes.

Seems a common name. Of what relevance is the fact that it is a common name?
Better is a discussion I have no idea what that means. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 20:01, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This RM was over when you chose not to add (book) as a descriptor. The article Nuclear terrorism is the only logical and possible redirect of the upper-case Nuclear Terrorism and always will be. Would (book) make a difference? I don't know, haven't checked it out. But please assume good faith, and maybe ask what somebody means instead of telling us that you have no idea what they mean. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 20:16, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because this is a bold move. Also, WP:SUBTITLE is not a policy, just a guideline, see also WP:COMMONNAME and other related policy Hhkohh (talk) 10:03, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
