Requested move edit

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. I don't think any reasonable person will seriously suggest "The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGa" as a viable title, so the unilateral move was reverted with support of partial community consensus. If someone thinks the article should not be at Barkley 2, there is no prejudice against speedily reopening a new RM. ☺ · Salvidrim! ·  01:43, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Reply


The Magical Realms of Tír na nÓg: Escape from Necron 7 – Revenge of Cuchulainn: The Official Game of the Movie – Chapter 2 of the Hoopz Barkley SaGaBarkley 2 – The article should be moved back to Barkley 2. This is the name all of the reliable sources are using for the game, and it is the name that is commonly used when referring to the game. When discussing it, no person uses the full title and the full title is mostly written for comedic effect. As such, the full title should be mentioned in a footnote, but the rest of the article reads much easier using the shortened common name. See WP:UCN. Odie5533 (talk) 11:17, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Support per WP:CONCISE; we should not be using a monstrosity of a title when a much shorter title is in wider use. bd2412 T 16:49, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • support per BD2412. This has got to break some record.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 17:36, 4 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Bloody Hell - That long title was completely unmanageable. I moved it back to Barkley 2 for the moment per common sense, but am not closing this RM, and the article can be moved back to whatever title has consensus after the discussion. I know moving an article in the midst of an RM is generally discouraged but this would IMO cause disruption if not moved immediately to a more reasonably-sized title. ☺ · Salvidrim! ·  14:38, 5 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
