Baillie Gifford Prize → Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction – this is a minor amend to the title which reflects how the name of the prize is written – James.douglas (talk) 08:28, 21 October 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. Armbrust The Homunculus 18:25, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
- This is a contested technical request (permalink). Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 09:28, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Is this the common title though or just the full title? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 09:28, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - it is certainly sometimes written in the shorter form,[1] so per WP:CONCISE, I don't see a strong case to make this right now, unless I've missed something. — Amakuru (talk) 09:37, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
- Support - I work on the administration and branding of the prize and this request has come from its Director, Toby Mundy. Please see how the prize is referred to on our website: http://thebailliegiffordprize.co.uk/ You're right to point out that it has historically appeared in both forms, but our feeling is that the Wikipedia page is often readers' first encounter with the prize, and as such it should be seen in its full form James.douglas (talk) 11:18, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- @James.douglas: Do you have any proof of this? Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 11:24, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
- Closing comment: I think we should thank James.douglas for following our procedures so well and disclosing his COI, but consensus is strongly to stick to our normal naming conventions, no support at all for the move in fact. I hope his boss understands. Andrewa (talk) 07:19, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
