Common Ground (memoir) → Common Ground (Trudeau book) – Per WP:BOOKDAB. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 23:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@207.161.86.162 and 2pou: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:19, 25 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
A memoir still adheres to WP:BOOKDAB under the "etc." Also not listed are (autobiography), (biography), (anthology), and I'm sure there are others. -2pou (talk) 23:13, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
WP:BOOKDAB provides:
To disambiguate, add the type of literary work in parentheses, such as "(novel)", "(novella)", "(short story)", "(short story collection)", "(dialogue)", "(essay)", "(play)", "(poem)", "(poetry collection)", etc. If none of these specific qualifiers applies, "(book)" can be used. Note, however, that this qualifier may be perceived as indicating a non-fiction type of writing.
If further disambiguation is needed, add the author's surname in parentheses: "(Orwell novel)", "(Asimov short story)", etc.

In specifying "literary works" and only listing forms of literature apart from nonfiction prose, I don't interpret that "etc." as including "(memoir)". 207.161.86.162 (talk) 23:31, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. That is exactly how I did interpret it; (diary) would be another. Anyway, a discussion from the community is better than the differing opinions of two. Regards, 2pou (talk) 00:38, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. I guess the motivation comes from a desire to be consistent with Common Ground (Lukas book), but I see no problem that needs fixing here. But a redirect from the proposed name would do no harm and some good. Andrewa (talk) 16:26, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
Oppose per Andrewa. The disambiguator doesn't seem wrong to me, and apparently it also conforms to BOOKDAB, since the guideline provides for "etc." including more literary types such as this. — Amakuru (talk) 12:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
