Upstairs/DownstairsUpstairs–Downstairs (album)MOS:SLASH avoid the slash as it implies a subpage. Also, this is all to confusable with the two television dramas, so the current slashed title should redirect to the disambiguation page Upstairs Downstairs, as should Upstairs–Downstairs/Upstairs-Downstairs/Upstairs—Downstairs --Relisted.

Survey

[edit]
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 policy on article titles.
I don't think Radio Massacre's album is the dab problem, the problem is that the BBC contracted American composer Carl Davis to make the Upstairs Downstairs soundtrack album and it was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award. It's the Carl Davis Upstairs Downstairs album not The Ergs! album which comes up first on Amazon. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:43, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bkonrad, given that Amazon CD cover has no slash, and we have no print sources for a slash, what is the source leading you to think a slash should be in the title? In ictu oculi (talk) 03:49, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've no idea why the Amazon image does not have a slash, though you have to wonder why they nonetheless use "Upstairs/Downstairs" as the title. Allmusic.com and Discogs.com show the cover with a slash. Also, the song on the same album and for which it is presumably named includes a slash. The lack of print sources might say something about notability, but there are some online reviews that seem to uniformly include the slash -- even when the image is the same as the one on amazon as here and here and here. olderwiser 10:54, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how the article being a stub affects procedure here? In ictu oculi (talk) 03:49, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see that either. Being a mess does not preclude renaming. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 05:38, 18 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You may not see it, but the album has notability issues. And there is no other way to improve it other than include reviews. Sadly, there is only one review, and I'm unsure of its reliability. Regardless, it fails WP:notability and WP:notability (album). --George Ho (talk) 15:46, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That still has nothing to do with renaming the article. Nominate it for deletion if you like, but I still don't see how it affects the renaming discussion, there's no procedural closure on the basis you chose. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 04:39, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If deleted, this would render this discussion useless. --George Ho (talk) 04:44, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That only applies if it is deleted, which is not guaranteed. And you suggested the procedural close 2-days before nominating it for deletion. So, nothing to do with the move discussion -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 07:01, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD

[edit]

Please recreate this as a redirect to the disambiguation page Upstairs Downstairs after deletion, if this is deleted through PROD, as a valid typo spelling of the other Upstairs-Downstairs variants. -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 04:41, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

someone deprodded the article -- 70.24.249.39 (talk) 01:10, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
