3.2.1.3.2.1. (album) – Obscure album. Too many other things, not least the game show 3-2-1, on the dab page for dots ". . ." to be a helpful disambiguator here. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:50, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Clarification: I think the dab page mentioned above is the one at 321 (disambiguation). —BarrelProof (talk) 15:10, 2 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, punctuation alone is not disambiguating where numerous variations contain similar small punctuation differences. bd2412 T 19:55, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose there doesn't appear to be anything else called "3.2.1.". Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:49, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose nothing else that is "3.2.1." or "3.2.1", or that would typically be punctuated with dots. Peter James (talk) 22:01, 3 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
The point is that dots isn't sufficient to say "(album)" to the non Zilch fan reader. We actually trying to help readers, in theory. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Why would a reader search with dots unless their searching for the album? Why add a qualifier and require readers searching to click through a DAB? Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Most don't say "album" in their title. If you think article titles should describe and not just identify, you can propose a change to Wikipedia:Article titles. Peter James (talk) 17:42, 9 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
