Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

• Oppose After further look into this subject and topic, I noticed that the Accounting Principles Board issued statements as well as opinions. Thus, I propose List of Accounting Principles Board recommandations, a more inclusive title but WP:ARTICLETITLE still holds to remove the ambiguity of "APS".174.3.125.23 (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
• Support to expand the ambiguous abbreviation APB, whose many other meanings are listed at APB (disambiguation). The list includes Opinions, Interpretations and Recommendations, so an inclusive title would be List of Accounting Principles Board Opinions, Interpretations and Recommendations; but that seems unnecessarily verbose. List of Accounting Principles Board Opinions is enough to identify the page. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:26, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
• Support per BrownHairedGirl. Clarity is of primary concern in titling articles. This proposal eliminates ambiguity in the simplest way. Xoloz (talk) 19:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Also @BrownHairedGirl: Is the capital called for i.e. or should it be List of Accounting Principles Board opinions?174.3.125.23 (talk) 08:04, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

I think that it should be capitalised because the APB's own usage capitalises the word as part of the phrase "Interpretive Opinion": Tkis Interpretive Opinion is an extension of Chapter 10(b). --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:06, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

• Proposal Accounting Principles Board recommendations could work too. The nomenclature within wikipedia is if an article is a list, it should be prefixed as List of ..., so is this article a WP:SAL?174.3.125.23 (talk) 04:44, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
  • It is a stand-alone list, should be prefixed with "List of". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:27, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
