Talk:Brief Candle in the Dark

"... continues his autobiography until present."

   The sentence containing that phrase had already been false for a half year when contributed in November, as he's not dead yet, unless he lied. We'd best take him at his word: "I'll end where I began, on my seventieth birthday,...", per page 437 of the topic work.

Careless of me, make that read "over 4 years", and refer to the idea the sentence expresses, not the barely month-old sentence.

Brief Candle in the Dark: My Life in Science → Brief Candle in the Dark – Per WP:SUBTITLE. (The proposed title already serves as a redirect.) 142.160.89.97 (talk) 00:51, 9 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 22:18, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose Seems a common name Hhkohh (talk) 00:59, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

@Hhkohh: How do you reconcile your position with our book-specific guideline, WP:SUBTITLE, which states:

Usually, a Wikipedia article on a book (or other medium, such as a movie, TV special or video game) does not include its subtitle in the Wikipedia page name, per WP:CONCISE. The only exception to that is short article titles, for disambiguation purposes.

WP:SUBTITLE is not a policy, just a guideline, see also WP:COMMONNAME and other related policy Hhkohh (talk) 09:50, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

• Support I see no issue with the requested move, and it abides by the given guideline. -- Alex^TW 03:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose no, better with the full title. More helpful, clearer. And more in line with review references to a recent book. In ictu oculi (talk • contribs) 07:34, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - guideline cited was based on a flawed assumption. Books and other media items are usually referred to the first time by the full long name and then for brevity, just continue using the short version. --Gonnym (talk) 21:58, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
