Oppose. Official website uses PAW. Gonnym (talk) 14:24, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree with your oppose EpicTornado (talk) 20:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I suggest to review what WP:OFFICIALNAME has to say about officialness versus independent reliable sourcing. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:00, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support: It doesn't appear to be an abbreviation, and some high-quality independent cited sources (e.g., The Globe and Mail) don't use all-caps. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:07, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Who knew a kid's TV show could be so controversial? Schierbecker (talk) 21:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support. See Google Ngrams and arguments made by Amakuru and Wbm1058 in the 2016 RM. SilverLocust 💬 04:47, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support – We have guidelines, which don't include aping the style of websites. Dicklyon (talk) 22:42, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support per nom and my arguments last time. While there was some circumstancial evidence that the PAW might at one time have stood for "pups at work", this appears so sparsely in the record that I don't think we can say that reliable sources treat this as an acronym. — Amakuru (talk) 22:56, 18 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support. Clear common name and not generally regarded as an acronym. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:41, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 28 August 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Speedy close, this was only discussed about 8 days ago and no new arguments are being made here so we don't need to have this discussion again. If the close is incorrect it needs to go to move review, if the close is correct then wait a few months or at least bring new arguments.

Official website uses PAW. Because the first three letters are majuscules. D21or (talk) 19:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Comment We just had this discussion. See WP:MRV if you believe anything was improper. 162 etc. (talk) 20:17, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree. It's the most official source I can think of too. The site is from the owners, so they know the best what is "right" when it comes to how you should write PAW. EpicTornado (talk) 20:36, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy procedural close: Contrary to a very-recent RM consensus; no substantial new information provided. WP:MR would be a more proper step, but won't succeed. Also malformed RM formatting. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 23:19, 28 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Because I saw every TV Shows and Movies are started with PAW. D21or (talk) 17:47, 29 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
