The result of the move request was: Not moved. Consensus against moving. (non-admin closure) – Ammarpad (talk) 06:02, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
Publish and Be Damned → Publish and Be Damned (publishing fair) – Article should be moved so that "Publish and be damned" can be made into a disambiguation page. Bensin (talk) 21:56, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose: The name of a particular event would properly use uppercase letters as written, while a quote of what someone said would not. Also, there seems to be only two topics here; see WP:TWODABS. I think this article should stay where it is, and Publish and be damned should redirect to Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (with hatnotes in both places, unless this article is deleted due to lack of any evidence of notability). Note that Publish and be damned has been deleted twice due to questions of notability. Has that issue been properly resolved? This article does not seem to cite any sources that discuss the publishing fair in question. I have nominated this article for deletion; please see the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Publish and Be Damned. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:55, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. There is no other article needing this precise, capitalized title. Publish and be damned can still be a dab page without moving this article. Station1 (talk) 01:26, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:DIFFCAPS and WP:2DABPRIMARY noting that "Publish and be damned" doesn't even have a separate article. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:30, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- From WP:DIFFCAPS: "The general approach is that whatever readers might type in the search box, they are guided as swiftly as possible to the topic they might reasonably be expected to be looking for". This is a valid point. But this will work really well only when the article names include distinguishing information so the user can understand already in the search box what the target will be. --Bensin (talk) 03:29, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
- Support because it's user-friendly. E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:41, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
