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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Moved to second option, with "Sir" removed from "Philip Mountbatten". (non-admin closure) Simplexity22 (talk) 20:53, 12 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

– WP:CONCISE. The current titles are needlessly long. This is a deliberately separate discussion to that at Talk:Wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer#Requested move 3 July 2018 because these bridegrooms were only granted their titles on their wedding days.

Depending on the outcome of this discussion, Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton and Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle can either stay where they are, or be moved to Wedding of the Duke of Cambridge and Catherine Middleton and Wedding of the Duke of Sussex and Meghan Markle, for consistency.

Support your second suggestions, per WP:CONCISE. —capmo (talk) 18:16, 8 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
~~Oppose~~Support As I said on the other page, the nominator is right, and per WP:CONCISE the titles need to be shortened, but I do not like the formats that have been suggested. I support a move to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson; Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten, etc. That would make them consistent with Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and Wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

Keivan.f, the alternative titles you suggest are already included in Opera hat's proposal, please check and maybe reconsider your vote. —capmo (talk) 04:54, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
capmo, thanks for notifying me. I didn't notice that my preferred format was already included in the proposal. Keivan.f^Talk 05:11, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
User:Pincrete, User:GoodDay, User:Surtsicna, User:Emir of Wikipedia, User:CookieMonster755, User:Netoholic: your contributions on the wedding of Prince William move request would also be relevant here, if you'd care to weigh in. Opera hat (talk) 11:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support The second option per CONCISE and PRECISE - ie wedding of "Prince/ess X and name of commoner" format. Strongly oppose the 'Duke of' form - I'm UK and I can barely remember who all these Dukes are. Do we really need the 'Sir' in Philip Mountbatten? Would we be putting such honorifics if the person held high military or similar rank - or were simply marrying another commoner? And is it necessary clarification or just 'window dressing'?

Support second option as per above opinions. Perhaps remove Sir from Philip Mountbatten though. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 17:08, 9 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Support second options, albeit without the Sir in Phillip Mountbatten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:300:C930:896D:2EEC:7C36:FA90 (talk) 04:36, 12 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

I also was in the process of closing this discussion, but started from the bottom; it appears that our readings of the discussion did not conflict, so I think everything ended up in the right places. Dekimasuよ! 20:57, 12 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
