Zzyzx Rd. (song) → Zzyzx Rd – only topic with exact title - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 03:14, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:53, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- @Champion and 65.94.42.168: queried move request; see Zzyzx Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:54, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Object to speedy move The main road in the town of Zzyzx is Zzyzx Road. Why wouldn't a road the the expected topic for an article named "Rd" (road) ? Why does it matter if no other article has this title, since the topic exists in other articles? Where's the evidence that makes the song the primary topic then? -- 65.94.42.168 (talk) 03:54, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Strong oppose and clearly not a technical request. Target redirects to the town with the road. Road exists and is well documented, and song is named after it. @Champion: please see WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. In ictu oculi (talk) 06:45, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Support move to Zzyzx Rd. with a full stop per nom, as no other topic is spelled in this manner, with or without punctuation. Hatnote the city and the film. ONR (talk) 02:24, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
- We don't do full stops, see that interminable manga RM last year. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:48, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose. Rather keep that as a primary redirect. "Rd" is a common abbreviation for "road", even with including the full stop, and most people entering just "rd." into the search box are more likely to be searching for the article on the road itself than the song.
