Requested move 8 October 2019

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 section.

It was proposed in this section that A Secret History be renamed and moved to A Secret History, an Inside Account of The Beatles' Rise and Fall.

Not moved. Two observations: this RM has run six days with fairly strong opposition, and as noted below, the current title is a redirect, which results in a malformed request and might not be correctly sorted by the RMCD bot. So this request is procedurally closed as not moved. Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover) P. I. Ellsworth, ed. ^put'r there 16:48, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A Secret History → A Secret History, an Inside Account of The Beatles' Rise and Fall – displace edit history to location consistent with actual title -- 67.70.33.184 (talk) 06:36, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:55, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Asked for by an IPA user :: better discuss this one. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:56, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Since A Secret History redirects to the article delineating its author, Alistair Taylor, there is no need to rename a redirect. The redlinked full title, A Secret History, an Inside Account of The Beatles' Rise and Fall, can simply become another redirect to Alistair Taylor, awaiting potential creator of an article about the book. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 18:02, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The book title is simply A Secret History – the rest is a Wikipedia editor's description of the contents of the book, not a subtitle, per the book's cover image as seen on Google and Amazon. – wbm1058 (talk) 15:12, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
