Sticks + Stones (song) → Sticks + Stones

– With Cher Lloyd's album having had the "+" changed to "and", this is now the only thing with a "+" instead of an "and" or a "&". --Relisted. jcc (tea and biscuits) 11:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC)Unreal7 (talk) 15:28, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, this kind of disambiguation by special symbols isn't helpful, or reproducable. Propose instead move this article Sticks + Stones (song) to Sticks + Stones (Nicola Roberts song).

Should probably also consider Sticks and Stones (song) → Sticks and Stones (Tracy Lawrence song), Sticks N Stones → Sticks N Stones (Jaime T song), also due to Sticks and Stones (Ray Charles song) released in 1960, "Sticks and Stones", a song by Shawn Desman, "Sticks and Stones", a song by Jónsi, recorded in 2010 for the film How to Train Your Dragon, "Sticks and stones", a song by Arlissa, released in 2013.

Oppose; I agree with In ictu oculi. Powers ^T 01:27, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose per Talk:Sticks and Stones (Cher Lloyd album) this song should also be renamed to Sticks and Stones (Nicola Roberts song) And you haven't shown why this is primary over all the other "+" subjects either. "+" is sufficiently frequently and sufficiently commonly used to replace "and" or "&" for Sticks + Stones to mean "Sticks AND Stones" or "Sticks & Stones", especially they way people take shortcuts. After this is disambiguated unambiguously, this current title should be repointed to the disambiguation page -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 06:26, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The "+" is distinctive enough to disambiguate (unlike "and", which is expected in this phrase, or "&" which is just another way of writing "and"), but this title has also been used on the Cher Lloyd album cover. Google search results suggest that the title is used most often for the album, slightly less for the song, and occasionally for other (non-notable?) songs not listed on the disambiguation page.
