This is a contested technical request (permalink). Hhkohh (talk) 12:01, 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.

Better is a discussion I have no idea what that means. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 18:37, 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) 09:56, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Multiple IPs

What is going on here? Why is this user not registered and operating from only one account rather than multiple IPs?

  5. (Discuss) – Dashti Yahudi → Dasht-e Yahudi – The correct transliteration of this name from Urdu is 'Dasht-e Yahudi'. The vowel after 'Dasht' is the Persian Ezafe which was inherited in Urdu. It should not be written as a single word, and the vocalization of 'e' is far more prevalent than 'i'. LissanX (talk) 03:17, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@In ictu oculi: There's only one IP address listed there so I'm not sure what you're on about regarding multiple IPs. And the only move requests that I made in that list are the ones from this IP address. I am not power~enwiki or LissanX, the former of whom I think I disagreed with in an RM recently. You will also note that the requests I made are all concerning articles about books with subtitles, unlike the others. 142.160.89.97 (talk) 22:45, 9 September 2018 (UTC) cc: TonyBallioni[reply]
