MobySongs 1993–1998 → Songs 1993–1998 – "Moby" is not part of the album title according to the artist's offical website[1]. Additionaly, this seems to be the more common way to format the album title.[2] –Dream out loud (talk) 13:49, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose the title helps readers. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:26, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

What does that mean? What does that have to do with WP:TITLE? –Dream out loud (talk) 08:14, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

It means what it says. WP:CRITERIA's objectives are to help readers. Removing the most easily identifiable part of the title will not help readers. Plus this is how print sources name the album, per Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll p660: "Elektra, tried to cash in on Moby's new fame with the compilation Mobysongs 1993-1998, a survey of his earlier work" In ictu oculi (talk) 14:16, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

• Comment. On Google Books, "MobySongs 1993-1998" is a bit more common than "Songs 1993-1998" and other variants. It appears that high quality sources are split, some using "Songs 1993-1998" (and close variants),[3][4][5] others using "MobySongs 1993-1998" variants,[6][7] and some using different titles entirely.[8][9] Is there other evidence that one version is more popular than others besides the Google Books returns?--Cúchullain ^t/c 16:37, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
• Oppose. IIO has nailed it... either title seems acceptable in terms of guidelines etc, but the current title is clearly superior in terms of reader experience. Andrewa (talk) 16:58, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
