Abdominal external oblique muscle → External oblique – TA English equivalent - far more widely referred to – Iztwoz (talk) 20:30, 21 September 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 15:46, 29 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Iztwoz: Full name is clearer. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:35, 21 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

To follow the lead in usage - External oblique is referred to more. Entry name at moment does not register at all on ngrams and on google search external oblique has twice as many refs. Articles themselves use the more usually referred to names. The named muscles are only found in the abdomen. As the entry for Biceps - brachii relating to arm is not used. --Iztwoz (talk) 08:51, 23 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Support move to external oblique muscle. I think although "external oblique" is a little confusing as it raises the question "external oblique what?" --Tom (LT) (talk) 10:00, 23 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. The proposal is to shorten past the point of jargon. Of course sources will use shortened forms, because they are already in the context of the abdomen and muscles. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:11, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. If nothing else because the nom did not even bother with due diligence to provide support for the proposal. Claiming without basis that a proposed title is "far more widely referred to" doesn't cut it, Iztwoz. I reserve the right to change my !vote if compelling evidence that the proposed title is commonly used in reliable sources to refer to this topic is presented. Ping me. --В²C ☎ 04:27, 15 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
