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: move the page, per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 22:32, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Paint by numbers → Paint by number (disambiguation) – Per WP:PLURALPT, the clear primary topic of this title is Paint by number, which is about as likely to be referred to by the plural in books and websites as by the singular. Of the other options on the page, one is actually "Paint by Number", capitalized and in the singular, another is a song which has no article, and a third is a basically a special case of painting by number using formulas rather than numbers. I propose to move this to a disambiguation page at the singular title to accommodate all singular and plural variations. bd2412 T 02:11, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's a mischaracterization to call nonograms/picross a special case of "paint by number." They are quite different. That said, given the use of the singular title here, I don't specifically object to the move. Dekimasuよ! 02:21, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- In any case, they are an obscure topic relative to the primary topic. bd2412 T 03:05, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest, Paint by number → Painting by numbers

"paint by number" gets "About 75,000 results"
"paint by numbers" gets "About 192,000 results"
"painting by number" gets "About 112,000 results"
"painting by numbers" gets "About 834,000 results"

The activity is perhaps relevantly described as "Painting". The involvement is of a plurality of "numbers".

ping: bd2412 and bd2412.

That is a bit outside the scope of the move request, which is limited to the disambiguation page (for which the two media titles are "Paint by Number(s)"). All of those other titles should redirect to the primary topic, at any title. bd2412 T 12:44, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support redirect to Paint by number, suggest we delete this dab page. Currently, all but the article-less song are covered by the hatnote at Paint by number. That should be sufficient - no dab page of any sort required here. Dohn joe (talk) 14:29, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I would rather keep (but move) the dab, there are probably other uses. I just found another one without an article. bd2412 T 15:04, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
