Don't move this page again

I'm sick of this shit. The page does not need to be anything other than "Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Best Novel".

1. List of Gaylactic Spectrum Award winners and nominees for best novel is way longer - unnecessarily convoluted
2. the implication is already there that winners and nominees will be listed, and this is how it's done for cou8ntless other award
3. there is not a separate page that exists titled the same thing. the only reason some prizes page like "List of winners of the National Book Award" is because the title is already taken
4. who cares if it's a list, you dont' have to explicitly call it a list
5. the capitalization is terrible in that other

Moves that are disputed should be discussed @Create a template. I believe it's better at this title, that's why we have discussions. I also completely disagree that it's convoluted and I think the current title better describes the actual purpose of this list. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:13, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Just chiming in here to say I think the article is best placed at its current title, for much the same reasons that Josh states. I also don't see any issues with capitalisation? CoconutOctopus talk 12:20, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

everything is always X____ Award for Best X____. it's standard for almost every literary award on this site. Create a template (talk) 12:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Is there a naming convention discussion you can point to @Create a template? My understand is you moved all the pages to that format yourself, some of which I had actually contested that you also moved without further discussion. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I'd also like to note that this article has been at this title for over 15 years without issue. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

only talk to me here, do not post on my profile again. Create a template (talk) 12:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

That is not how Wikipedia works; you don't own your talk page and it's accepted that your talk page is where users can post messages and (if needed) warnings. CoconutOctopus talk 12:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
