x Tour (Ed Sheeran tour)X Tour – Kylie's tour is not called the "X Tour", i.e. this doesn't need brackets. Unreal7 (talk) 18:50, 25 September 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Natg 19 (talk) 05:14, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Only article" is sorry irrelevant; how many times does the WP:DISAMBIGUATION guideline have to be stated? And "X Tour" is used by the Kylie Tour, the refs in the article show it in black and white. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:03, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please. This is a case of WP:IGNORE. Unreal7 (talk) 11:40, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
IAR has only been stated by you just now, not by Calidum; if you wanted to use IAR, you should have stated it from the beginning -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 08:29, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. This is the only thing actually called "x Tour" on Wikipedia. Anything else can be covered on the dab page.--Cúchullain t/c 15:31, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I see where IIO is coming from and I don't think this a completely straightforward case, but when Googling around all instances of "X Tour" seemed to relate to this article and of the other tours mentioned by IIO and the IP, none of them seemed to be referred to as simply "X Tour".

  • While websites and commentators referred to it as "X Tour", I can find no evidence that Sheeran, promoters or distributors ever gave the tour the proper name "X Tour". Instead, his announcements refer to tours by place and dates, and the inclusion of "x" comes from reference to the previously released x album (lowercase x at that). It is a tour following release of an album displaying a big "x", the album cover being used as illustration. http://www.edsheeran.com/news.htm and actual tickets and ticket websites contain no "X Tour" labelling. Indeed, there is also "'X' World Tour", clearly using a title font descriptive title, and the so-called "x" Tour has been extended, meaning the earlier named 2014-15 tour includes second tours of 2015. There are increasingly specific mention of concerts identified by month-year. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:26, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: Not moved - Consensus is to Keep it at the current title, As noted below requested moves should be done after a few months of the previous one being closed ... Not 6 days!. –Davey2010Talk 22:22, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]


– For clearer explanation as to why the Ed Sheeran tour should be the primary topic, look at the Google results for the tours of each of the other acts on the disambiguation page: [5][6][7][8], in comparison to the Ed Sheeran tour. Also, see I'm Not the Only One and (more recently) Taking Over Me for other examples of when the only topic with an article quite clearly has to be the primary topic. Unnecessary disambiguation helps no one here. Unreal7 (talk) 15:04, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

X Tour (Ed Sheeran tour)X Tour (Ed Sheeran) – Per WP:TOURDAB. There is no X Tour (Ed Sheeran album) or X Tour (Ed Sheeran video) to further disambiguate with one redundant classifier. I'm neutral to moving this to X Tour. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 05:03, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, this is written in a WikiProject page. If you consider that the writing of that WikiProject is incorrect, *you* must contest it in the WikiProject talk page first, and if you manage to remove such statement(s), you will have a point, not before. Second, having twice "tour" in an article's title is redundant and unnatural; I don't see how this goes against criteria and in general with wp:title: how is that "X Tour (Ed Sheeran)" is not understandable for a person, but "On the Run (Paul McCartney)" is? Third, we don't use distinguishers in the following titles: The Hill (Knoxville), El Universal (Caracas), King Range (Antarctica), Subway (Homicide: Life on the Street), thousands of etc., yet, all of these work because you even if don't have an idea what they are, the article text will do it, as recognizability suggest. Also, the additional "tour" goes against "Conciseness" and "Consistency" in WP:CRITERIA, which you are using to oppose. You better, with your own words and not copy-pastes of the guideline we can all access, explain how's that the proposed title is not concise, natural, consistent, precise, and recognizale enough. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 08:50, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
