Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 17:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC) Skulduggery Pleasant 2: Playing With Fire → Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing With Fire — The book is called Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing With Fire, not Skulduggery Pleasant 2 or anything in between. For those that argue that the book number should be included in the title of the article, we can always create a page called "Skulduggery Pleasant 2" and redirect it here. — TopGearFreak 19:16, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Support: I have a copy of the book to hand and there is no "2" in the title so to have one in the title of this article is innacurate. It would also be an innacuracy to move the article to "Playing With Fire." We wouldn't call the first Pirates of the Caribbean film "The Curse of the Black Pearl" we'd call it "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl". --Jupiter Optimus Maximus (talk) 18:46, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

It seems to me that the book is called Playing with Fire, and that according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (books) the article title should be Playing with Fire (novel). Andrewa (talk) 21:32, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Umm, no, that's taken! But that's the sort of disambiguation we need here. I'll add both novels to the disambig page. Andrewa (talk) 21:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

In any event, Andrewa is correct that with should be lowercase, no matter what article title is decided on. Deor (talk) 21:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing with Fire → Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing With Fire — It's not definite evidence, but I went and asked Derek's Bebo account, and apparently the W's supposed to be capitalised.

• Oppose per WP:CAPS: In general, each word in English titles of books, films, and other works takes an initial capital, except for articles ("a", "an", "the"), the word "to" as part of an infinitive, prepositions and coordinating conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., "on", "from", "and", "with"), unless they begin or end a title or subtitle. "With" is one of the words that does not need to be capitalized based on its shortness and its place in the title. Erik (talk | contribs) 13:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Yes, that's what most book author's do. However, as I have made clear from the question I asked the author, he chose to make it have a capital "W". Notice the words "in general", it's not conclusive, it's just what most authors do. Harry Blue5 (talk) 23:37, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
