Captive Society: The Basij Militia and Social Control in Iran → Captive Society – Per WP:SUBTITLE. (The proposed title already serves as a redirect.) 142.160.89.97 (talk) 00:54, 9 September 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 ^{talk to me | my contributions} 22:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Hhkohh (talk) 00:58, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Seems a common name Hhkohh (talk) 00:58, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Hhkohh: How do you reconcile your position with our book-specific guideline, WP:SUBTITLE, which states:

Usually, a Wikipedia article on a book (or other medium, such as a movie, TV special or video game) does not include its subtitle in the Wikipedia page name, per WP:CONCISE. The only exception to that is short article titles, for disambiguation purposes.

WP:SUBTITLE is not a policy, just a guideline, see also WP:COMMONNAME and other related policy Hhkohh (talk) 09:51, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support I see no issue with the requested move, and it abides by the given guideline. -- Alex^TW 03:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Oppose please no, absolutely not - the mention of Basij is the most recognizable part of the title; only beneficial use of WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT here. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:38, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - guideline cited was based on a flawed assumption. Books and other media items are usually referred to the first time by the full long name and then for brevity, just continue using the short version. --Gonnym (talk) 21:58, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
