The result of the move request was: Moved — Amakuru (talk) 14:18, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter → The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC – SC stands for "Second Chapter" and may be a more clear title, but the game is presently referred to in all official contexts as "SC". This includes, but is not limited to: XSEED's websites, the store pages from which the game is sold, and the game's actual logo. Searching for "...SC" also provides more results than "...Second Chapter", and anecdotally the fanbase usually refers to it as "...SC". The Japanese name also uses "...SC". The only thing going for "...Second Chapter" is clarity, but might that be a valid enough reason? 76.164.126.70 (talk) 06:59, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Move per WP:COMMONNAME. For example, a search engine test shows 2.3 million hits for "Second Chapter", while only .49 million for "SC". The reasoning for the move to SC sounds more like WP:OFFICIALNAME reasoning, which Wikipedia doesn't typically go by. A note to the lead explaining the SC stuff could be added, but I don't think a rename is warranted per Wikipedia policy. Sergecross73 msg me 12:43, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Sergecross73: Quick note that your searches did not put the name in quotes, thus they include any mention of "second" and "chapter" even if the page refers to it as "SC". — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 22:30, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A quick WP:GOOGLETEST says "SC" is about 3x more used than "Second Chapter". Generic search: "The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter" 18k vs. "The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC" 67k. In VG/RS search [1]: ""The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter" 3.7k vs. "The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC" 11.6k. Same proportion seems true for the sources in the article. It appears "SC" suffix is the WP:COMMONNAME. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 22:30, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
