Justifying this page
[edit]I am aware that there was an orginal sliding filament theory/model that was merged into muscle contraction (decided in the talk page). But that page did not remotely discuss the original hypothesis nor is it there in the new merged page. The redirect simply points to the heading which only describes cross-bridge cycle, not the hypothesis or model. Above all, the title "hypothesis" is historically more significant because it was introduced as a "very attractive" "hypothesis" (see the original text). And the name is still in use when it is discussed in terms of history. One should be aware that the sliding itself is now an established fact. Hence, my concern is on the original proposition and its historical value. Chhandama (talk) 09:34, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
- I think this page should be renamed as the "sliding filament theory," which is more accurate since it is an explanation supported by the evidence. Thus, it is no longer a hypothesis. Plus, sliding-filament theory is also more widely used than sliding filament hypothesis. danielkueh (talk) 02:06, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Agreed, though I also see "sliding filament model" a lot. HCA (talk) 15:01, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, we'll move it then. danielkueh (talk) 15:21, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Cross-bridge cycle → Sliding filament theory – Sliding filament theory is the WP:COMMONNAME and very widely used. This was moved to the current title, Cross-bridge cycle, by Walidou47, recently, and I'd like to get the opinion of other editors as to the best title for this article.

- Support. As a major author of the article, I agree that sliding filament theory is the most universal name, and cross-bridge cycle, to put it mildly, is simply the mechanism of the sliding itself, and not the sliding per se. Also note that the article name was already decided as above ( Cross-bridge cycle) 5 years ago. Chhandama (talk) 02:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support. The proposed name is not just more common, it's also more specific. Dr. Vogel (talk) 15:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
